This past week, Kelly and Michèle O’Donnell wrote Brigada to discuss “Working Together: Five Core Values to Ethical Member Care.” Taken from a discussion in “Global Member Care” (2011, page 158), the original source can be found at…

The Five Core Values they documented were…
*** Human worth: We value colleagues as humans with intrinsic worth not as resources with strategic worth.
*** Safety in sharing: We value developing and using safe ways to share personal and work-related concerns.
*** Wellbeing for all: We value both the wellbeing of sending groups and the wellbeing of their staff.
*** Work-life balance: We value balancing professional work demands and personal growth desires.
*** Relational resiliency: We value persevering for truth and peace in our relationships (Zech. 8:19).
I always find the O’Donnells’ work interesting and stimulating. I’m confident that if we dwell a bit on these 5 core values, we’ll all build better organizations, fellowships, and teams.
