When you walk into a value-driven organization you know it. Interactions have inspired energy, and people embrace a common vision driven by a shared value structure. In organizations like these managers spark each person's motivations, teams sign up for stretch goals and fulfilled development plans are evidence of the organization's greatest asset- their talent.
The formal science of axiology identifies the value structure that motivates people, making it possible to succeed under pressure. On an organizational level it creates the goal alignment to sustain a compelling vision. If you're in HR, it will equip you with the tools to sit on the executive team. If you're a manager, you can lead value-driven teams that achieve great results. Organizations that do all this by design create a value-driven culture. Join us to learn practical examples from organizations that are successful at leveraging their value structure (and learning from unsuccessful cultures).
