Shared Values (define a team)

Last month, I just finished one phase of a HR-consulting project with a client managing a growing beauty and F&B empire - in the last year alone, Singapore headcount increased by at least 30% and they are still recruiting and expanding.

It was no wonder then that the MD wanted to re-visit their company vision, mission, values - to ensure that they are clear(er) and perhaps more importantly, properly cascaded down through the entire organisation to each and every employee, not just the management ranks.
 
This reminds me of #13 of John C Maxwell's "The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork", published back in 2001, following his highly successful "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership".

John is known as America's expert on leadership and he wrote this follow-up in the hope of making teambuilding "simple to grasp, retain and (be) put into practice."

In it he writes about how "values can help a team to become more connected and more effective" and that "shared values are like" glue to hold people together so they can reach their fullest potential as a team, a foundation for teams to make (special) things happen, a ruler to help set the standard for team performance, a (moral) compass to help teams make (right) decisions, a magnet to attract like-minded people to the team and finally to allow the team to form a unique identity of their very own.

Are you ready to empower your team to business success?!
