• Core values are the heart of your company – Guiding principles – Framework for decision – Do you have core values? – Does your team live by them? – Would you fire someone who was out
of alignment? © TruMethods, LLC. 2014 - All rights reserved

• Use core values in your hiring process – Emphasis on culture fit – The definition of an “A” player – Ask question about your core values – We ask applicants to write about our
core values

• Members first • Be awesome
Actual response: “To me being awesome means always do your best. My goal is to come to work every day and work hard, efficient, and have a proven track record of results. You must be awesome, not only with members/customers, but also with colleagues. My enthusiasm to begin a career and be successful will be the driving force behind my striving to be awesome every day.”

• “A” players live your core values • Knowledge and skill can be taught but core
values cannot • A poor cultural fit can turn a team upside-
down • Ask core values questions early and often
