An organization that is willing to expend resources without clearly defining and articulating their values is essentially creating a formula for failure. Enthusiasm, excitement, innovation, and zeal can be great traits with proper direction. Values constitute this direction. If organizational leaders do not deliberately shape the values of their organization, the organization will evendually form its own. 'Your organization will be guided by values, whether or not you deliberately decide what those values are. It can't be assumed that naturally occurring values will be desirable." (Hoover and Valenti, 2005, p. 273).Leaders must be aware of how their personal values shape the values-based culture. This does not mean that they have to infuse their own personal values into the organization. However, leaders who chose to ignore their responsibility to shape the organizational values within their organization will create a culture that is not moving in the direction that they want it to go. "If organizational culture is left to self-formation, it will run to the lowest common denominator and form its own restrictive and counterproductive rulebook." (Hoover and Valenti, 2005, p. 278).Hoover, John and Valenti, Angelo (2005). Unleashing Leadership: Aligning What People Do Best With What Organizations Need Most.
