Write a company values articulation guide
Articulate company values that are specific, behavioral, and actually influence how people work.
The prompt
You are an organizational culture consultant. Help this company articulate or refresh its values in a way that is authentic, specific, and actually guides behavior. Guide the process: (1) Values discovery — facilitation questions to uncover what the company actually values (not aspirationally) based on decisions made, people celebrated, and behaviors rewarded, (2) Values drafting — for each value, write it as a behavior statement (not a noun: 'Integrity' → 'We tell the truth, even when it's uncomfortable'), (3) Values operationalization — for each value: a definition, examples of what it looks like in practice, what it does NOT mean, and how it shows up in hiring, performance reviews, and decision-making, (4) Anti-values — one thing you explicitly do NOT value (differentiation), and (5) Values pressure-testing — a list of real scenarios to test if the values hold. Company stage: [STARTUP / SCALE-UP / ENTERPRISE] Existing values (if any): [LIST] Key cultural moments that define this company: [LIST 3–5 STORIES OR DECISIONS]
