Company values?
Most people have them... Few live by them. In a job interview, you hear what sounds good, not how someone truly makes decisions. And the most expensive mis-hire is one with the wrong values, which no one recognized early enough.
The pain is real.
In a job interview, everyone says the right things. Six months later, you realize that the person is completely unsuitable for the team and wonder how you could have overlooked it.
You weren't blind. 82 percent of supervisors see the warning signs already in the interview, but only interpret them too late. Because the problem is rarely about ability. 89 percent of mis-hires fail due to attitude and values, and only 11 percent due to a lack of specialist skills. Almost half of new hires fail within 18 months (Leadership IQ, over 20,000 hires).
And that's not a minor flaw, that's money. A mis-hire costs between 100 and over 200 percent of an annual salary, depending on the position (SHRM).

So, if you know what truly drives your people and your company, you'll save yourself expensive mis-hires, costly turnover, and teams that are just going through the motions. That's exactly what this deck is built for.
What makes this deck different
With this deck, the values are on the table before you sign. The person sorts 100 value cards in a few minutes, quickly, from the gut. No one can act at this speed.
In the end, you know three things about the person in front of you: what drives them, how they deliver results, and where they will clash with your team. You see precisely this friction now, in a half-hour conversation, instead of after six months, when separation becomes costly.
No test, no scale, no judgment from above. An honest conversation with a clear outcome.
One tool, many possibilities
The same deck, many elaborated applications. Each with its own instructions in the Value Vault, our digital treasure chamber, which contains many additional instructions, ways to play, and inspirations to accompany you and your employees on the journey to success.
Hiring
Recruiting: See how someone truly makes decisions and if their values align with yours during the interview, before the contract is signed.
Assessment Center: Make values visible where otherwise only professional competence is tested.
Onboard and develop
Onboarding: The values discussion after 30 days. Identify friction while it's still a correction and not an expensive separation after six months.
Annual and Development Review: A genuine status assessment for both sides, individual and company.
Align and decide
Team Values: Turn personal values into shared ones, so a team knows what it stands for. In two variations.
Decision-making: When a team is stuck, values show what really matters.
Reflect and found
Solo Value Reflection: For yourself, or as a coach with clients.
Startup Values: Before you write your values on the wall, earn them.
