What a great example of living your values within an organisation.  Thanks for sharing it.  I am certainly aware that being consistent isn't necessarily as easy as I thought it would be!  Trust is my usual example - I trust my husband with the big things, but when he has a strimmer in hand, I frequently 'remind' him to leave certain plants unstrimmed!  Fortunately he generally is very understanding about this particular foible.

In addition, I recognise that it isn't appropriate in some circumstances to demonstrate a value all the time.  For instance, one person I coached had a core value of frankness.  Through developing a metaphor for this value, she really appreciated that the timing of frankness is importance (and the delivery).
