How can the book Built on Values help your company's organizational culture?...

...Built on Values helps companies get on the pathway to greatness by showing the exact steps for either curing an ailing organizational culture or creating a new one from scratch.

     Most leaders know that a winning, engaged culture is the key to attracting top talent and customers. Yet, it remains elusive exactly how one creates this ideal workplace culture.  A workplace where everyone from the front lines to the board room knows the company's values and feels comfortable and empowered to act on them.

     Based on Ann Rhoades' years of experience with JetBlue, Southwest and other companies known for their trailblazing corporate cultures, Built on Values reveals exactly how leaders can create winning environments and provides a clear blueprint for how to accomplish organizational culture change.

"Built On Values is a practical guidebook for transforming an entire organization or just your little corner of the world into a place of caring and passion."  Stephen R. Covey

Built on Values includes workplace culture strategies taken from years of leadership experience that will help you:

• Determine if an organizational culture change is right for you.
• Develop a Values Blueprint tailored to your organization's goals and put it into action.
• Recruit, hire, and keep employees that truly fit your new culture.
• Exceed the expectations of employees and customers.
• Establish a discipline for sustaining your values-centric culture.
• Discover why it's essential to hire, fire, and reward people based on values alone.
