Managing By Values describes how companies of all types can achieve a greater success that is measured not by volume or profits, but by the quality of life for employees and the quality of service for customers.
By committing to shared values and a common purpose, any organization can adopt a way of doing business that allows all stakeholders to win. Based on more than 25 years of research and application in organizations, Managing By Values will show you how to put your values into action for extraordinary results. It details a practical game plan for clarifying your organization’s core values, communicating them throughout the organization, aligning theses values with actual practices, and reaching an exciting new level of organizational success.
Managing By Values describes a new measure and level of organizational success—beyond that of "Fortune 500" organizations. Blanchard and O'Connor show how organizations can commit to a way of doing business that enables all stakeholders—owners/shareholders, employees, customers, and others—to win. By committing to a common purpose and set of values, any organization can join the ranks of the "Fortunate 500." This list is defined, not by size or volume or profits, but by the quality of service available to customers and the quality of life accessible to employees.
"Creates a positive and healthy employee culture that unleashes the power of the human spirit."
