Where Should I Start When Building My Core Values?

A Contractor University Member recently utilized the Ask-The-Expert Q&A feature within the member dashboard by submitting the following question and received the response below.

Contractor Question:

“Do you have training on developing company core values?”

Contractor University Expert Response:

“We have several resources to help build a company’s core values.

Section 1.3 in our Best Practices Library has resources around defining and creating core values, as well as some etraining resources around Core Values.

Module 2 in our Leadership Principles course has some good content around creating a company vision, core values, and how that helps build a strong culture.

And of course, a good tool to use for finding content on the Contractor University platform is the global search tool. Here are the results when searching for “Core Values.”

Another great place to start is connecting with your employees so they can help build these fundamentals values of the business and have ownership over it. I would also recommend scheduling a 1-on-1 coaching call to help give some oversight and direction on this fundamental part of your business.”
