Why are core values critical to our success in business and in life? Because our values are critical guides for making important decisions. And when in doubt they cut through the fog like a beacon in the night.

John Blumberg has written the best book we’ve ever read on how we build value…with values. And if there was ever a time in the history of this great country that we need to re-visit our core values…the time is NOW.

Enjoy an excerpt from John’s book, Good to the Core…Building Value with Values.

An Excerpt from
Good to the Core
by John Blumberg

U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
.
I was in Honolulu to speak at a large national conference. I scheduled an extra day onto the trip since I had never been to Honolulu and because a few great friends were also at the conference. The day after the conference, we awoke at the crack of dawn to visit Pearl Harbor. As we stood above and looked down upon the sunken USS Arizona, the depth of our experience came to life. It was moving and humbling.
.
Upon our return to the hotel, I had some time to spare before departing to the airport. A couple of my friends and I decided to rent a raft large enough to hold three adults. We targeted the white-capped waves, out in the distance, as our destination. With the incoming waves, we had a hard time getting away from the shore. At first, there seemed to be enormous momentum keeping us “grounded.” Slowly, but surely, we began to make progress. It seemed to get easier. We eventually got within a few feet of the whitecaps and decided to board our raft and relax as a celebration of our efforts. It was in our moment of pause that we felt the reality

JDF Air Wing comes to the defence of Jamaicans again
Published: Saturday | May 23, 2009
.
Despite high winds and pounding rains, which caused poor visibility, soldiers from the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) Air Wing were able to rescue 10 people who were stranded on a roof in Winchester, St Thomas, on Thursday.
Captain Andrew Spence, mission commander, described the event as “challenging”.
“It was very windy and it was raining heavily, so it was challenging to keep the aircraft steady for the guys in the back. It’s not as simple as having the aircraft in one place,” he

Stop to Salute
It was raining “cats and dogs” and I was late for physical
training. Traffic was backed up at Fort Campbell, Ky.,
and was moving way too slowly. I was probably going to
be late and I was growing more and more impatient.
The pace slowed almost to a standstill as I passed Memorial
Grove, the site built to honor the soldiers who died in the

Great Service Is a Choice
(Excerpt from The Simple Truths of Service)
No one can make you serve customers well. That’s because great service is a choice. Years ago, my friend, Harvey Mackay, told me a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point. He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey. He handed my friend a laminated card and said:
“I’m Wally, your driver. While I’m loading your bags in the trunk I’d like you to read my mission statement.” Read More

A dear friend sent this to me…..

THINK ON THESE ‘SMILE-Y’ THINGS
Something cool that Xerox is doing…..
If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a
thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a
soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can’t pick out who
gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send
one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and
it only takes a few minutes of your time.
Let us NOT get caught up in the negative perception that the
Media portrays our Armed Services. No matter where they are, they
are there so we as individuals don’t have to be,
They Volunteered to Protect US with their Lives!
