In a world of constant change, information overload, and the dynamic development of new technologies, the only way to manage that guarantees a company a strong market position and long-term success is management through values. Only this management approach can meet the challenges of the modern world, address the crisis of morality in business, and build a good, developmental work environment for people.
Value-based management unleashes tremendous employee engagement, as employees, by pursuing what is important to them, take responsibility for the organization’s success.
