Leaders and managers need to make a commitment to building an organization’s core values as a guide to how they want to conduct their business. They must create an atmosphere that reinforces the relationships and reputations on which the companies’ success depends. Thecore values can include such elements as honesty, integrity, customer service or community involvement, (Kamberg, 2001). The corporate core values reflect on an organization as having strong moral principles, ethical practices and integrity (Kang, 2018). To communicate these principles to the employees, they need to create tools like Codes of Conduct and Employee Hand Books.

Develop Values

The corporate core values must include; “transparency, trust, support, innovation, fairness, sharing, diversity, social responsibility and have fun”, per (Men, 2015). Developing a values-driven organization requires a buy in from everyone in organization. Then the values must be demonstrated, practiced and communicated throughout the organization.Utilitarianism Theory is a very good fit and a good example to use when developing the core values. The decision maker considers the consequences or outcome by creating the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people, (Intellipath, 2018) This ethical theory is often adapted and used in a wide range of social societies.

Decision-Making Process

Ethical decision making is a process that considers various ethical principles and rules to guide the decisions and actions of individuals or groups (Kang, 2018). I have witness a lot of good and bad decisions making. When decisions are made with a specific result in mind, without fully upstanding the problem, those decisions will usually get lot of push back and eventually fail. The best decisions are those where the problems are well defined and discussed and the team values and input are incorporated into the decisions.

Programs or Processes

Core value s, the culture and the corporate integrity of an organization need to be implemented using a top down approach. The tone needs to be set from the top, (DeloitteRiskEditor, 2014). Leaders must participate in the programs designed and offered to build the corporate culture and its values. Leaders influence employee motivation and build trust by implementing and supplying employees the tools needed to be successful at the jobs. Leaders must act with accountability, transparency and integrity, while remaining profitable and innovative (Ira A. Jackson, Jane Nelson, Jane Nelson, 2004). An organization must implement a code of conduct, policies and procedures and an employee’s handbook, to help guide its personnel while they are navigating though the challenges that they are facing every day. Once core values are established, they must be communicated and reinforced on a regular basis. Leaders should talk about those values in the context of actual behavior (Kamberg, 2001).

Theresa and Mike

Theresa and Mike need to create and build the desired culture for their organization. While producing their employee handbook and composing their code of ethics they must act with accountability, transparency and integrity, at the same time driving profitability and innovative. They mustbelieve and behave in an ethical manner and set clear expectations and be a good example. They need to reinforce their values and culture by communicating their core values in an on-going basis in company and well as individual meetings.

Conclusion

Leaders and managers must have a sharp vision of their mission and how to implement and communicate the organizations core values.Developing a value-driven organization requires written codes of conduct and employee hand books as an ethical foundation of company behavior. Then on going follow up is necessary to get and maintain buy-in from everyone in organization.
