Without Living Our Values, Things Can Go REALLY Wrong!
In early December of 2001, I was just getting my feet under me in the behavior-based safety role I had accepted in the spring of that year, doing all I could to take care of our young family, and still reeling a bit from our freedom being attacked just a few months prior. I remember seeing the headlines detailing Enron filing for bankruptcy but I won’t pretend that I had a finger on the pulse of all it meant or how it unfolded. In the months and years that follow, however, I read plenty outlining what a lack of values ended up costing so many people who had ties to that organization!
