Discovering the Value of Us
Posted by Rudy on 09.29.2008 at 4:00 pm
For the next ten weeks, my more than 200 co-workers and I will be celebrating the very best of one another through each of Better World Books’ core values.
- We ♥ Books. Respect the book. Read often and help others to do the same.
- Flabbergast our Customers. Seek out opportunities to make a difference with value, service, and selection.
- Invest well. Waste not. Choose wisely; consider the return on your efforts and the impact in your actions. Reuse, reuse, reuse… Then reduce and recycle.
- Lead the movement. Take a stand; share your enthusiasm and build momentum through human connections.
- Speak through action. Put your ideas to work; play to win but never fear failure.
- Be passionate. Wear your heart on your sleeve; stand up for what your believe.
- Pursue growth through learning. Challenge yourself; make a point to try new things.
- Be genuine. Keep it real; be honest with others and true to your quirktastic self.
- Embrace change. Adapt to circumstances; help others find ways to succeed in our evolving world.
- Respect our team. Be humble; welcome diversity and recognize that shared success is the only kind that matters.
