Who’s Responsible For “Walking The Talk”?
It is no secret that we live in a complex world of constant change, increasing demands, and more competition than ever before. Today isn’t like yesterday was, and you can bet that tomorrow won’t be like today is. Things are spinning pretty fast, and most of us could use something solid to hold on to. So, how do organizations create some level of stability in unstable times? We’ve found that the successful ones do it by holding true to the basic beliefs that values have never outlived their usefulness or importance. And that’s where each of us has a vital role and critical responsibility.
Take a moment to reflect on your organization’s values and principles. Who do you suppose those good intentions are directed to? My experience tells us it’s everyone. And now, “the $64,000 question”: Who do you suppose is responsible for living by those values – who must be accountable for walking the organizational talk? You guessed it! Again, it’s everyone! No one can be excused. Each of us has got to do our part in bringing our workplace beliefs, principles and business goals to life. And, ensuring that happens is a key responsibility of organizational leaders at every level.
