Do Values and Principles Matter to Your Company?

摘要

Have you ever worked with a fellow employee who had a bad attitude and constantly complained about the company and managers? Or been on a crew with one person who didn't carry their weight or work as hard as everyone else? Or worked for a company where one old timer is not required to follow the company rules, learn new systems or technology, and seems to have his own set of special rules? These anti-team players pull down the entire team and make everyone's life miserable. To grow a flourishing garden, you have to cut out the irregular branches and regularly trim out deadwood to get the plants to thrive, bloom and reach their potential. And with a company, you have to have everyone working together, following the same rules, with positive attitudes, to achieve the highest results possible. To make this happen takes a clear understanding of what your company rules are, what basic principles you stand for, what kind of people you want working together in your company, and how you expect your team to work with each other and treat your customers, vendors and subcontractors.
