Start with a small, diverse group to establish values: The author suggests that values should be established by a small, diverse group of employees who represent different perspectives within the organization.
Define values in a way that is measurable and actionable: The author suggests that values should be defined in a way that is concrete, measurable, and actionable, such as “We value transparency, demonstrated by regular progress updates on all projects.”
Make values a part of everyday decision-making and communication: The author suggests that values should be integrated into the day-to-day decision-making and communication processes of the organization.
Regularly revisit and revise values to ensure they remain relevant: The author suggests that values should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that they remain relevant and aligned with the changing needs of the organization.
Ensure values are aligned with the overall mission and strategy of the company: The author suggests that values should be aligned with the overall mission and strategy of the company to ensure that they are consistent and meaningful.
Foster a culture where values are lived and upheld by all employees: The author suggests that the organization should foster a culture where employees are encouraged to live and uphold the values, and where there are consequences for not doing so.
Lead by example, with leadership demonstrating and reinforcing the values: The author suggests that leadership should lead by example and actively demonstrate and reinforce the values to ensure that they are adopted and upheld throughout the organization.

Comment:

This was not a good summary at all and likely just ChatGPT making stuff up based on general business-writing on values, not the actual article. It’s be interesting to have it rewrite the original article.
