The Core Values that Promote Balance
Striking balance can be achieved only through the combination of these
three essential values which improve communication and enhance focus.
Pursue Simplicity
“If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old,” Albert Einstein observed, “you don’t understand it yourself.” While simplicity may be the hallmark of sophistication, complexity is often the silent killer of profitable growth. Across all industries, regardless of size, companies seize an inherent competitive advantage when they—and the leaders who run them—keep things simple. People may be complex, but rocket science isn’t the solution—just ask Einstein. Simplicity is elegance.
DISPLAY curiosity
We may not always have the answers—at least not at first—but we know how to ask the right questions. In fact, asking great questions is at the heart of what we do best. Whether we’re helping people resolve a disagreement through mediation or working with leaders and teams to develop their skills, our thoughtful questioning and innate inquisitiveness help clients see things from new viewpoints, weigh their options and determine their own solutions.
Exhibit Candor
We offer an impartial external perspective and operate with no BS. We’re forthright in our communications. That means we’ll sometimes tell you what you may not want to hear—but need to know. We’ll work hard to understand you and we’ll respectfully deliver the unvarnished truth without the influence of preconceived notions or internal politics.
