Abstract

How many companies create a fancy vision statement, hang it on the wall and never refer to it again? For all the hype, identifying company values is worthwhile only if management then refer to these values in all business -decisions and motivate employees to do the same. Values at Work seeks to help managers identify company values, coach staff to implement these values, and support staff in identifying their own personal values and comparing them to those of the company. Values at Work includes interviews with company executives already -implementing values-based management techniques, and provides a prac-tical guide for managers wishing to understand values and their impact on people, performance, and profit.
