Recommendation

This essential, step-by-step guide to creating a values-based corporate culture remains as relevant and valuable today as when it first appeared in 2011. Ann Rhoades – a respected HR leader – provides insights from her experience in the executive suites and boardrooms of JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and Doubletree Hotels. Rhoades provides an insider’s blueprint for building and sustaining a values-based culture. Every leader, in HR or otherwise, should read and heed her advice. 

Take-Aways

  • Organizations differ and so must their cultures, but every great culture rests on values.
  • Don’t adopt another firm’s culture.
  • For successful culture change, consider your employees, and then align your corporate values and rewards.
