{"product_id":"book-edwr","title":"The 3 Power Values","description":" Countless management gurus have written about the importance of  values, doing the right thing, and creating sustainable  organizations. They have shown us how to calculate the ROI of  values and have persuaded leaders of the need to instill personal  responsibility and a sense of mission in their organizations.   Yet, management consultant David Gebler argues, we have been  looking at the issue of values from the wrong direction. Managers  and employees do not need to be taught the \"right values,\" he  explains. They already have a strong sense of the values and  behaviors required for the organization to succeed. Rather, leaders  need to let employees live their values by removing the  factors-influenced by corporate culture-that can generate negative  behavior, factors such as social pressures of what to say and not  say. Culture is often defined as \"how we do things around here.\"  But to change a culture, leaders need a model that can indicate  where and how the organization is behaviorally challenged.  In The 3 Power Values Gebler argues that the key factor  that determines whether a culture is functioning well or not, is  how successfully the organization has aligned three core elements:  its goals (what it does), its standards of behavior  (how it does it) and its values (why it does it). To drive  behavior change that leads to this cultural alignment, three  specific values-commitment, integrity, and transparency-are  essential.      Commitment links values to goals by creating ways for  employees to feel engaged and connected.  Integrity links the walk (standards) with the talk  (goals), building trust through consistency and  predictability.  Transparency creates an open environment where employees  can express their values without fear.    Organizations whose employees live these Power Values are marked  by dedication, openness, and personal responsibility. Employees  take the initiative to ensure the company achieves its goals in the  short-term without sacrificing long-run sustainability. Enlivened  with plenty of anecdotes and case studies, The 3 Power  Values provides leaders with a pragmatic user's guide to  harness these three Power Values.
