Clarity or convenience, give birth to the values and beliefs in a corporate?

If some one asks a botanist whether the root or stem is relatively stronger in a tree?  The answer would be definitely the roots.  The strength purely refers only to the physical strength and nothing else.  If so, why the tree trunk is only used widely for all timber works and the roots are used very rarely? 

The physical strength need not necessarily mean the timber utility value of root over the trunk.  The root has an important role of keeping the plant alive and healthy throughout.  Root is only providing all necessary nutrients, food and water required for the healthy survival of any plant.  The root is also highly exposed to various geo-chemicals and biotic interactions rampantly prevalent beneath the soil and hence it has to be stronger, whereas the aerial tree parts of a tree are not as vulnerable as the roots. 

If we need to draw an analogue to a tree by taking corporate as an example, the root-steam equation has so much to offer to the corporate.

The roots are nothing but the values and ethics/beliefs of the corporate.  If the values and ethics are very deeply rooted in values then it can be called very strong and only such organizations alone can withstand the tide of time and the challenges.  If the values and ethics were weak, then the organization would succumb to any just timely needs, whims & fancy and would perish in its value. Every corporate must learn this lesson very clearly. 

What is the meaning of values and ethics?  If a corporate is unwilling to change its values and ethics/beliefs, can such organization be called as highly value based or value oriented? 

The origin or evolution of such values and beliefs of the organization must research out.  The entrepreneurs should introspect the fact that whether clarity or convenience that had given birth to such values and beliefs in the corporate.  If convenience were the source, then the organization must realize that having no values is far better than having some values and beliefs just for the sake of having them.

What is transcribed only is only going to get translated.  The above truth is not only relevant in biology but in corporate as well.  What one eats only is going to get metabolized. The ‘value confusions’ are more common in one man lead corporate than in MNC’s like Unilever or P&G.   One man values are easily changeable.  Most corporate tries to showcase their values and beliefs but unfortunately none notices them seriously.  Display of a turkey only another turkey notices.  Only a lady mouse gets attracted to a sir mouse. 

Let the values and believes display your organization to the world and not you displaying the values and beliefs of your organization to the world.
