    Ep 105, Why Values Fail at Work and How to Fix Them

    If your values don’t show up in your decisions, they’re just marketing.   Too many organizations have glossy posters with words like integrity and excellence — but when the team gathers, those values vanish. And when values are decorations instead of direction, trust erodes, frustration builds, and joy disappears.   In this episode of the Joyosity™ Podcast, Jenn unpacks the gap between values on the wall and values in action. You’ll learn why most leaders struggle to articulate their own values, how that disconnect sabotages culture, and what it takes to turn values into the everyday fuel for joy, trust, and clarity.   Here’s What’s in the Episode 2:36 The disconnect between organizational values and daily behavior will devastate trust. 4:41 The data on why teams with clear values retain customers and employees. 7:50 Where your values actually come from (and why some may not be yours). 9:21 The difference between nice-sounding words and actionable values. 13:15 The real test of your values. Key Takeaway Values aren’t what you frame on the wall. They’re what you choose in the moment, or they’re not values at all.
