When employees are engaged, they not only outperform their peers, they become motivated and inspired contributors to the company mission instead of jumping to the next opportunity with the competition. With today's tight job market, lowering turnover through effective communication may be the most important area of concern for business leaders today.

I always dreaded getting annual performance reviews, even though they usually went well. This one was different. "I gave you a ‘failure to meet expectations' score because you didn't achieve your objectives for the year," my boss told me. The problem was I had no idea what my objectives were.

If someone is a hard worker, there is a universal assumption that they can do anything.

Each core value has a particular way of dealing with conflict and fear. Everyone feels challenged or out of their element at times and the way we react to these situations depends entirely on our core values.

We call it Conflict Resolution Strategies and it provides powerful information that can change your personal and professional life in a profound way.

The enthusiasm of a Core Values Index adopter can be infectious to others.
