Ep18 - Values vs Principles

Business as Unusual is a Podcast that inspires clarity and confidence by exploring innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship during a global pandemic.

I find it fascinating how many times an Organisation’s vision, mission and values statement seems to get lost in translation.  I recently stumbled upon an article by my friend Michel Hogan who explained that an Organisation’s “values” are sometimes misinterpreted as Principles - and there’s a really easy way to tell which is which.   In this episode I explore Michel’s definition deeper and share a story from one of my crazy entrepreneurial adventures that illustrates just how much of a disconnect there is between what an organisation says its values are and how its people actually operate.   

I hope it inspires you to rethink how business could be done in this new Business as Unusual environment we find ourselves in 🙏
