The recent earthquake in Christchurch Christchurchcity.govt.nz showed us that fundamental core value of caring is alive and well. Neighbours rallied around to help each other setting up BBQs, sharing with each other and making the most of a very difficult situation. Organisations donated generously in both cash and goods
And yet we so often read ,or experience, situations when caring seems to have been forgotten.
Caring translates into all our dealings with people not just those closest to us.
- When we deliver a presentation we should ‘care’ about our audience
- When we work with clients and customers we should ‘care’ about them
- As managers and leaders we should care about our staff.
Yet unfortunatelyoften we get too busy ,or just plain forget to use that core value in almost all of us.
Roger Steare rogersteare.com recently spoke at a meeting and he talked passionately about the need to get back to using our core values at work. We care about the things that matter close to us -our families (and/or animals!) and yet so often at work the culture dulls what we know is intrinsically right -the universals that make us civilised. The too tight job description so we don’t ‘go the extra mile’. The rules that stifle common sense
Perhaps it’s time to take stock and not wait for a disaster to bring out the best in us .We all do care it’s now time to show it
