("--61 )064*/( "65)03*5: 1SBDUJDJOH 7BMVFT .BOBHFNFOU Common Values bind people and organizations together. Many times these values are not necessarily wri en out or taught in a formal class. When asked to really think about it most people will say it was how they were raised by their parents or grandparents. Sometimes they were influenced by a favorite uncle or aunt, teacher or some other mentor who modeled these values.
Servant Leaders: We seek board members who aren’t in it for money, fame or power but because they want to give back to the community and they believe in our cause. They view serving as a duty.
Commi ed Teamwork: We recruit people who understand it is not all about “ME” but it is all about “WE” in order to accomplish anything of real value. Great teams are great because each team member plays their position well. We provide them with the training and the tools to play at the highest level of play.
Honesty and Integrity: “Liars, cheaters and stealers need not apply” was a sign posted in a small country store which drew a lot of laughs, but at least the owner was clear about who he wanted to hire as employees. People still want honesty and integrity in their employees, in the operation of their local programs and in their local government leaders. We need to remember it is the public’s money and resources that have been entrusted to us to use and manage wisely.
Treat people right: Everyone has experienced bad customer service. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect, honesty and fairness in our dealings with them.
Be productive and efficient in operations: There is never enough money to meet all the “Affordable Housing” needs of our local people. So, we do not waste money with inefficient operations and unproductive employees. We practice a military principle of “Maintain Good Order” in everything we do. This lessens “chaos, confusion, disruption and disunity” in operations.
Maintain a Superior A itude: Bad a itudes are like “Ro en apples” – one bad apple spoils the whole barrel. People with “superior” a itudes show up “ready to play” the game everyday. We recommend good books to read which will enhance this a itude. For example: “The Top 10 Distinctions between Winners and Whiners” by Keith Cameron Smith.
