About this Quote

This quote by Alan Cranston stresses the value of having a shared set of values in order to create an effective company. Without a shared set of worths, a company will not be able to operate effectively. Having a shared set of worths permits people to work together towards a common goal and to make decisions that are in line with the values of the organization. It also permits individuals to take initiative and to work individually within the structure of the organization's values. Without a shared set of values, a company will lack direction and will not have the ability to accomplish its objectives. For that reason, it is vital for any company to have a shared set of worths in order to be successful.
