What Does It Mean To Be Character Led?
Being character-led is to ensure that your Mission, Purpose and Method are all aligned.
Being character-led means understanding that the character of your organisation is one of the few things you cannot tell people about, you either have it, or you don't.
Character-led organisations care as much about how they have an impact as they do about what impact they have. Understanding that impact is a two way street. External Impact being your impact on the world outside of your organisation, and Internal Impact being your impact inside your organisation.
Character-led organisations care as much about how they win, as if they win.
In the absence of character, we see Organisational Dissonance, where people who interact with an organisation know or feel that there is a misalignment between what the organisation says it wants to do, and what it does and how it does it.
Character must be developed through an entire organisation to count.
Staff - Operations - Alignment - Values - Principles - Actions - Customers/Clients - Impact
Character led organisations must be endeavouring to weave their values, principles and build character through their entire structure. Character cannot be reserved solely for administration, sales, the executive, clients or employees. There has to be a clear understanding throughout the entire organisation of how you do things and why you do things that way.
That's where the Just Be Nice Project can help.
You can't simply sign up and be A Just Be Nice Project - Character Led organisation. It takes time, which means it sets you apart from other organisations that have not taken the time to build character into their operations. We will work with you to ensure that what you say and what you do is aligned, helping avoid the trap of simply saying things for the sake of sounding good. Giving you permission and accountability to do things the right way, rather than simply saying you are.
Character Led organisations have happier clients, happier staff, happier executives, happier students and create better communities by virtue of the fact that they lead by example and practice what they preach. A commodity that is fast becoming more and more rare in the world of insta-fame, start-up hype and instant gratification.
