Product Description

Get organizational results by nurturing commitment, integrity, and transparency

A healthy corporate culture is the secret to an organization's performance. The good news is that employees already embody the values needed to propel the organization to its goals, but institutional roadblocks get in the way. All too often leaders don't know how to diagnose their culture in order to clear these roadblocks to performance. The 3 Power Values presents a breakthrough model that permits leaders to measure and manage culture. To create a fully aligned high-performing culture, leaders need only focus on nurturing three catalyst values: Commitment, Integrity, and Transparency.

  • Offers an innovative values-centered model to help organizations achieve short-term goals without sacrificing long-run sustainability
  • Filled with lively case studies of major companies including Johnson & Johnson and Boeing
  • David Gebler is a recognized thought leader in the field of values-based ethics and culture risk management

The 3 Power Values offers leaders at all levels a unique and accessible approach to identifying the behavioral challenges that are hindering their corporate culture and to removing them effectively.

—Charles H. Green, coauthor, The Trusted Advisor; founder and CEO,Trusted Advisor Associates

"An erudite and comprehensive account of why culture and values matter from a consultant who lives and breathes his métier."
—Richard Barrett, chairman and founder, Barrett Values Centre; author, The New Leadership Paradigm

—Vincent Brockman, executive vice president, general counsel, and chief ethics and compliance officer, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company

"David Gebler's book draws as much on his decades of hands-on experience working with companies on their ethical challenges as it does on his keen insight into the three values—commitment, integrity, and transparency—that drive any company's performance. It's essential reading for all managers striving to understand their corporate culture and create a high-performing organization."

"The 3 Power Values is a must-read for every manager. Creating a culture of trust and commitment is crucial for any institution to survive long term.

It is simple without being simplistic, and convincing without being rigid and inflexible."
—Tamar Frankel, professor of law, Boston University School of Law; author, Trust and Honesty: America's Business Culture at a Crossroad

"A breakthrough, commonsense primer for establishing effective corporate cultures to assist employees in avoiding costly and destructive ethical and legal lapses. A compelling read for corporate leaders in today's heavily regulated and overly litigious environment."
—Harvey L. Pitt, CEO of global strategic business consultancy, Kalorama Partners; 26th Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

From the Inside Flap

Is Your Culture a Risk Factor?

Most leaders already know that to achieve superior results they must foster a healthy corporate culture grounded in strong values. This should be easy; most employees already share the same values their companies endorse. So why is it so hard? Why is it that in most organizations the corporate culture works against high performance and top results?

According to David Gebler, the problem is that we have been looking at the issue of values from the wrong direction. Rather than trying to teach the "right values" to managers and employees who already understand the behaviors required for the organization to succeed, leaders need to identify and remove the elements of their corporate culture that prevent employees from enacting these values. All too often, however, leaders don't know how to diagnose the problems in their culture and clear these roadblocks to performance.

The 3 Power Values presents a breakthrough model that permits leaders to measure, manage, and transform their organization's culture by focusing on three catalyst values: commitment, integrity, and transparency.

  • Commitment links values to goals by creating ways for employees to feel engaged and connected.

  • Integrity links the walk (standards of behaviors) with the talk (mission and goals), building trust through consistency and predictability.

  • Transparency creates an open environment where employees can express their values without fear.

Featuring case studies from a diverse range of major companies—including Johnson & Johnson, Boeing, Timberland, and BP—The 3 Power Values offers leaders at all levels a unique and accessible approach to identifying the behavioral challenges that hinder their corporate culture, effectively removing them, and ultimately creating a fully aligned, high-performing organization.

5Important reading for all who aspire to be leaders
By Robert Smith
This is a well-written, straight forward, and compelling book about how improving company culture through, as the title says, "commitment, integrity, and transparency" will lead to better performing and more productive companies and more loyal work forces. The book's emphasis and teachings on how to maximize company values and align them with employee values are a must-read for anyone who is a company or business leader at any level or who aspires to be one.
