5. Building a Strong Foundation for Your Team with Core Values

The Impact Ripple - Hiring and Leadership for Visionary Female Business Owners

Do I really need core values as a small business owner?
The answer is YES. You absolutely do.
Especially if you’re planning on hiring employees.
Our core values set the stage for the way we do business. They define the culture of the companies we’re building and the teams we’re growing.
They impact everything from who we hire to how we communicate, the way we make decisions to how we allocate resources, and so much more.
They’re part of every single thing we do – or choose not to do – in business.
This is one of my favorite topics of conversation when it comes to building highly successful and impactful teams and I think you’re going to love it, too.
