Synopsis

From the back cover:

Is your organization united by core values...or divided by personal agendas?

Chances are, you have an organizational purpose and perhaps a set of espoused values printed somewhere on official corporate documents. But does everyone in your organization really live these ideals? If your answer is a reluctant "no" (or even a hesitant "I'm not sure"), this book is for you.

Dennis Haley has penned an engaging business fable that illuminates the importance of building a values-driven culture. This is the story of Guy Cedrick, a young executive who finds his priorities put to the test after his company undergoes a difficult merger. In a new environment that only pays lip service to its stated values, he must decide whether to meet short-term deadlines at any cost or to maintain alignment and accountability?even at the risk of his own job.

If you've ever wondered how to get your team working in sync, how to approach an individual with a "my way or the highway" attitude, or how to take corrective action in a dysfunctional office culture, read this book. It's filled with proven tactics to help you and your team create a shared understanding of values and align them with your organization's purpose, policies and practices.

In a turbulent age of corporate fraud, scandal, and economic strife, it's tempting to hide behind a shield of cynicism when core values are mentioned. Yet these are the very conditions that make them more critical than ever. The Core Values Compass proves once and for all that holding fast to what you stand for is the key to navigating any storm?and finding your way to true success.
