Core Values Mean Nothing Unless Your Team Lives Them | Peter Boolkah

Send us Fan MailA routine traffic stop in Las Vegas became an unexpected lesson in recruitment, company culture and the real meaning of core values.After accidentally committing a traffic violation, Peter Boolkah expected a ticket. Instead, the police officer showed genuine concern for his wellbeing, helped him find the correct route and behaved in a way that closely reflected the values of the Las Vegas Police Department.That experience raised an important question for every business owner:Do the people in your organisation merely know your core values, or do they genuinely live them?In this short solo episode, you’ll discover:Why defining your core values is only the beginningHow values should influence recruitment decisionsWhy technically capable people can still be culturally wrong for a businessWhat happens when employees embody the organisation’s valuesWhy one poor hire does not mean the recruitment process has failedHow values-aligned employees strengthen the customer experienceBuilding a business that works without you requires people who can make good decisions without constantly asking what the founder would do. Clear, lived values help make that possible.Do you own the business, or does the business own you?CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
