How your team works is just as important as what your team does. Your team’s values build metrics and a common focus.Those values may include collaboration, innovation, customer focus or zero-defects.
For values to become more than a poster on the wall, team members must see them as personally meaningful. They then can become an important, emotional connection for employees. The key to developing passion is to allow team members to interpret or internalize the values as their own by having them ask questions such as:
- What do these values mean to me>
- How do these values make me feel?
- Is my on-the-job behavior consistent with these values?
- How can I do my job differently to better reflect these values?
If you do not value your team’s values, no one else will. Take the time to communicate your team’s values, and more importantly, live them!
