The template below can be used with your family and your team. If you need a hand to think of possible values, check out tool 1.4 in MMFS Module 1 Plan for Success or have a look online.

Values

What are my values? Outline for yourself and your business.

Associated behaviours/norms

The behaviour that demonstrates these values.

Discuss these with your family and team and see where there is alignment and where there are differences.

Develop a list of shared overall business values and add these to your business plan (tool 1.3 in MMFS Module 1 Plan for Success).

Shared values

Culture statement

This is developed by chatting to your team and family about your:

favourite stories, sayings or phrases that capture how you operate.
symbols, brand and reputation with employees, customers and the community.
organisation structure (both informal and formal).
rituals or routines that you undertake in the business.
business controls and systems; are these tight, loose or a blend.

Key here is to engage with your family and team. Listen to them, understand what they are telling you and develop this statement collaboratively.
