Remember that your association’s Core Values are the heartbeat of your organization. Core Values are essential because when values are clear, decisions are easy.

KEY POINTS

Values need to be described in a way that is CLEAR enough, UNIQUE enough, and UNAMBIGUOUS enough so that everyone in the association …

knows exactly what the value means.
holds themselves personally accountable for living the value.
is self-aware enough to watch how they respond in relation to the value.
clearly sees when someone is violating or not fully performing the value so conversations can happen with candor about the performance not matching the values of the association.
