The Importance of Core Values

Core values are crucial for defining the culture and direction of an organization. They help in identifying the right people for the team and serve as a guiding principle during recruitment. By documenting these values, leaders can effectively communicate expectations to potential hires, emphasizing that not everyone will align with the organization's mission. This transparency fosters a better fit between employees and the company, allowing both parties to determine if they are suited for each other.
