Darren Ford published this article about core values February of 2017. He stated that good core values in an organization leads to a healthy culture and a good place to work. He also stated that core values are meaningless and simply "words on the wall" if leadership isn't willing to spend time using the core values constantly. And with that continuity, employees will understand, respect and eagerly go along with the company’s core values.

Here is the full article.

“So core values, if proactively promoted by the organization and lived out in daily interactions among all employees, build a healthy culture. That healthy culture allows employees to do their best work and enjoy their organization. And if employees enjoy showing up every day and they do great work, that organization is going make a “Best Place to Work” list, a list every organization should strive for.”
