To achieve this heightened
commitment, organizations should integrate
their values, translate them into an ethic, and
align that ethic with their strategies. When
an organization achieves this, its employees
see their work as a vehicle with which to
fulfill their own higher spiritual quests to
make rare and needed contributions. The
money they earn reflects the value of their
contribution and provides them with both
economic security and emotional selfesteem. This leads employees to invest their
intellects and their passion in the work they
do, driving their organizations' thinking to
the very edge of competitiveness and their
performance beyond that.

presented as a system. A list reveals what values a
company has chosen but it does not reveal the way
that company thinks about values. When values are
systematized, a moral philosophy emerges. The
espoused values need systematization to reveal the
thinking behind them.
