The core values of my organization include:
* Integrity and ethics
* Drive
* Innovation (not imitation)
* Respect
The core values are publicized by delivering a memorable customer service experience, building a positive team and family spirit, and by embracing and promoting change.

By building a positive team and family spirit, the organization can nurture employees that are keen on helping each other. Such kind of thinking can extend to the suppliers and businesses associated with the organization. Additionally, embracing and driving change allows the organization to adopt the status quo, become leaders in their marketplace, and have the opportunity to gain notoriety. The core values are supported by the behavior of the organizational leaders who are keen on building open and honest relationships with communication, a behavior that makes employees react positively.

Again, an organization may struggle to balance engagement and oversight. This way, it will be possible to eliminate competition or collaborate with peers to address shared challenges and public concerns.
