Improve Your In-plant’s Performance and Results

A brief example of values that frame a company’s guiding principles comes from General Electric. Its values, which transcend all business decisions, are: Imagination; Solving problems; Building the best products; Leading our industries.

I think this is one area where in-plants have the most room to grow. I also think that when your in-plant defines its principles, you should involve your employees for two reasons. First, two heads are better than one. Secondly, your employees are the ones who will be asked to live these values every day.
