Upper Echelon Upholds Core Values

Upper Echelon's director of operations discussed the importance of adhering to company values. He offered his thoughts on the values that every organization should emphasize.

“Here at Upper Echelon, we are guided by the company’s core values,” said Nick, the firm’s director of operations. “This is the only way for a company to behave if its leaders expect to sustain growth while developing a healthy and respected reputation.”

Nick and the firm’s leaders encourage their associates to discuss company values. They want their people to speak up when it seems that the firm isn’t living its core philosophies. “It is crucial that our team members feel comfortable calling out instances in which we fall short of living up to our values,” the director added. “We want to be sure that we address whatever shortcomings may be present, and we can’t do that if our people stay silent. Even the smallest indication of unethical behavior is enough to harm a company’s reputation, which is why at Upper Echelon we are committed to avoiding that fate.”

"The golden rule plays a big part in our overall culture here at Upper Echelon,"

“The golden rule plays a big part in our overall culture here at Upper Echelon,” the director remarked. “Treating other people with the respect you would want to receive is an essential element of being a successful professional. As far as core values go, I would say that this rule trumps any other consideration.”

Integrity is another key value stressed by Nick and the Upper Echelon executive team. “For me, having integrity means that you do what you say you are going to do,” the director said. “I want to make sure that every member of our team follows through on any promise he or she makes to a customer or a business partner. If people can’t count on your company to do that, you will quickly find yourself struggling to stay afloat.”

Nick also places a high value on open and honest communication within the organization. He explained, “Your team members have to feel comfortable expressing their concerns and sharing their ideas. If you don’t empower them to do those things, you risk letting conflicts fester while innovative notions from your quieter associates become overlooked. When there is a free flow of information throughout your company, everyone wins.”
