Integrity
Back to top
Integrity means a sense or a feeling of wholeness, completeness and
alignment. Our beliefs "hold together" in some pattern. Our principles
are in congruence with our behavior. We don't say one thing and do
another. Integrity is also a commitment to the "truth". Consequently, we
are not comfortable with simplistic solutions; we are not satisfied with
less than high-quality products, processes, service and results. We are
not comfortable with less than honest communication.
Openness
Back to top
Openness is holding dear the importance of honest, straightforward
communication. Valuing openness means North American supports and
encourages its employees to say what is on their minds. We seek,
encourage and give feedback to one another - both appreciative and
constructive. Valuing openness means we listen for understanding and
approach others with innocence and have the courage to tell it like it
is.
Respect
Back to top
North American believes that cooperation, interdependence and teamwork
is essential. Indeed, it is the competitive edge in today's increasingly
complex and relentlessly changing business environment. Fundamentally
and seemingly ironic to building a team is "respect" for the individual.
Valuing respect means that we accept and believe that each of us is
different. We believe that each of us is doing the best we can do and
acknowledge that while we are fundamentally and wonderfully unique, we
all want basically the same thing. Our behavior reflects that we
appreciate and celebrate the differences among us. Lastly, we believe
that each of us is capable of becoming better than we are.
Accountability
Back to top
Valuing accountability means believing the effort put forth at work is
not about making "their company" successful; rather it is about making
"our company" successful. It is believing that we are powerful people,
capable of getting the results we want. Accountability means to strive
to shape events rather than have events shape the individual. It is the
rock solid belief in the importance of the marriage of individual
growth with the financial success of the company. Valuing
accountability means addressing conflict, barriers, setbacks and
failures with positive attitudes and behaviors.
Accountability. Ownership. It makes all the difference in the world.
