Building Strong Relationships: The Power of Values, Ethics, and Strengths

Harnessing Core Values and Ethics for Relationship Building

Values are the guiding principles and beliefs that drives much of our lives and businesses.  They are reinforced by what you reward and what you tolerate and impact the attitudes and behaviors of every person. That’s why values are such a big deal. They tell others what’s expected (and accepted) and show the world what you stand for.

So, if you don’t have values in place, take some time to wrestle yours out on paper and make sure they communicate how important relationships are to your business and life. Consider Ramsey’s core values to see how values and work ethic connect and enhance relationships.

Aligning Work Ethic with Values: Ramsey’s Core Values in Action

• Excellence in the Ordinary: Are we are faithful in the little things, which is integrity.
• Marketplace Service: If we help enough people, we don’t have to worry about money, which is fairness and loyalty.
• Momentum Theorem: We know that focused intensity over time, multiplied by God, creates unstoppable momentum which produces focus and productivity.
• Never Give Up: We impose our will on the marketplace showing dedication and determination.
• Self-Employed Mentality: When we care and take responsibility like we own the place, showing accountability and care.
• No Gossip: We pass negatives away and positives all around, showing respect and camaraderie.
• Righteous Living: We believe character matters. All the time by our responsibility and trustworthiness

Knowing Our Strengths

I have included the top five strengths by Clifton Strengths as an example of how knowing our strengths, is valuable to help us understand how to help others harness theirs.  This is the actual report I was given after taking the assessment.

• Includer: Your strength as an includer is truly remarkable. You possess the extraordinary ability to make everyone feel welcome, valued, and part of the team. Your inclusive mindset fosters a sense of belonging and ensures no one feels left out. This creates a space where people can feel safe and welcome to contribute and bring their unique perspectives to the table.
• Positivity: Your positivity has an incredible impact on people’s sense of well-being. What an important strength to share with people during a time when many who come through our doors are facing uncertainty and, in many cases, struggling. In times of challenge or uncertainty, your optimism uplifts and inspires those around you. Your positive outlook fosters resilience motivates others to persevere and creates a culture where people can flourish both personally and professionally.
• Learner: As a leader, you understand the importance of growth and development, not just for yourself but for everyone on the team. Your commitment to acquiring new knowledge and skills encourages others to do the same, fostering a culture of curiosity and innovation. By embodying a growth mindset, you inspire those around you to embrace challenges, seek new opportunities and strive for excellence.
• Connectedness: Your strength in Connectedness is a powerful asset that brings people together. You have an incredible ability to see the bigger picture and understand how each individual and their contributions fit into the larger context. Your emphasis on building meaningful relationships and fostering collaboration creates a sense of purpose and unity within the team. Your connectedness enables others to see the value in their work and understand how it positively impacts the organization.
• Maximizer: Your strength as a Maximizer is instrumental in unleashing the full potential of individuals and teams. You have a keen eye for recognizing and cultivating strengths in others, amplifying their abilities to achieve outstanding results. Your focus on optimizing resources, developing talent, and encouraging continuous improvement pushes everyone to reach their highest potential. Your passion for excellence sets the bar high and inspires those around you to surpass their own expectations.

Strong relationships are an important part of families, workplaces, and communities.

I have found these kinds of assessments have make our personal and company relationships stronger and better.
