Core Values
- A systems approach that acknowledges the fundamental
relationship between the desired outcome of a policy, the
processes used for planning and implementing it, and the
criteria and data used to evaluate its
effectiveness.
- Effective government and mission/results-driven
nonprofits contribute significantly to safe, healthy, and
empowered communities.
- Ethical behavior, appropriate boundaries, and a focus
on mission to define integrity. Nothing is effective
without integrity.
- People who are affected by an action have a right to
define and influence the decision making processes that
lead to that action.
- Action must always be taken within the unique context
and culture of an organization and the communities it
serves.
- The most powerful source of leadership is individuals
acting as reflective agents of change from their own
place of influence.
- An effective organization has a decentralized
decision making process which is held together by core
values, a shared vision, and clearly defined
outcomes.
