A short excerpt from a spoken monologue criticizing superficial corporate 'values' signage and arguing that continuous improvement and collaborative striving are the true organizational values that drive success. The speaker contrasts hollow words (honesty, fun, etc.) with the practical, shared work of continuous improvement as a "winning formula."
That right there, that continuous improvement. It's like, that should be a value, and instead people talk about culture. Oh, we've got an amazing culture. Yeah, you've got words above a copier or maybe words in a break room. And they're words that shouldn't even be, that say nothing about culture. They're like behaviors of some sort. But it's like honesty, truth, fun, really. So we were running a business that was going to lie. That doesn't seem like a recipe for success. But that continuous improvement, everyone just really striving together to partner with each other.
That'S a winning formula.
