Shared Values

Best Examples and Successful Practices

* * *

Shared values are what engender trust and link an organization together.

 

 

 

Shared values are commonly held beliefs, mindsets, and assumptions that shape how an organization behaves – its corporate culture. Shared values are also the identity by which your organization is known throughout its business areas. Employees of a values-driven company understand the company's vision and values clearly and feel that they own the company.

Monsanto

The company has three important core values:

1. Customer focus: To be an organization that is fanatically dedicated to customers, to anticipating customers' needs in a changing marketplace, always attacking the status quo by doing something superior to what's out there today.

2. Openness to newness and diversity: In a world that's changing, employees react by saying, "How do we make use of it? How do we get out ahead of it?" The company develops people who recognize that success and survival are based on anticipation, not on hanging on to the past. That are linked as a matter of psychological habit to acceptance of diversity.

3. Environmental responsibility: Monsanto people developed a special commitment to environmental protection, to sustainability. They have had to deal with environmental issues because of the nature of the business they historically were in.
