I usually do not post part or entire stories from other blogs. But I have to admit that I am following Bnet.com in last several years and I am amazed by the quality and variety of it. I will just take/copy a part out from today’s blog on Bnet. It is written by Jay Steinfeld and above title is his as well. Jay is talking about core values that could be personal as well company’s core values. And this is a little excerption from the whole story that you should log into Bnet and read it all.
” At Blinds.com, we only have 2 core values: Improve Continuously and Experiment Without Fear. I believe the success of my company is the result of our drive to always look for ways to improve, and in process, tinker with things, fail, and ultimately find better ways. This also drives me as a person. I define success in life and in my company with just these two values. As long as I’m on the upward continuum of experimenting to improve continuously, then I’m successful. It’s not about the destination; it’s about the process. A little Zen, maybe, but that way I see life optimistically and always have something to which I look forward. I surround myself with people that are constantly improving themselves and everyone around them — including me.”
My question will be, how many people you know that have their core values defined, including yourself.
Best regards,
