Identifying Core Values and Making Them Operational

Core values in organizations should not just be concepts but operationalized behaviors. It's crucial to identify the right values, usually limited to two or three key attributes that reflect how people should behave in the organization. By focusing on these key behavioral values, organizations can create a culture where individuals who do not align with these values would feel uncomfortable working there. Operationalizing values goes beyond having them on posters or t-shirts; it involves integrating them into the core fabric of how things are done within the organization.
