🔗 (My) three core values to set up an organization for success

Every organization is defined by its core values that create a culture of belonging and purpose. When we speak of a ‘family‘ bond within a company, we are not talking about genetic or marital connections, we are talking about the beliefs that define who we are towards each other, the company, and our clients.

I have worked in more than a dozen different organizations and seen many styles of leadership and corporate values. I have seen what works and what doesn’t. I have also been inspired by reading other authors who studied how to build successful organizations (further reading recommendations at the end of this post).

When I received the honor to become the CEO of Extra Horizon, one of the things I took at heart was creating a set of core values that everybody could understand and embody. There is no greater honor as a CEO than literally having the dials in your hand to create an environment where people can be(come) successful.

So what are these core values to me?

• Value #1: the time for change is always
• Value #2: we already have permission
• Value #3: we deliver the best we can
