You don't have core values unless you fire people against them. My core philosophy on values is that you hire and fire against them, and then if you accidentally allow them on your team and they don't perform, you have to move on from them. And when you do, you should do a public hanging in front of the whole company to let people know that person s no longer on our team because they did these things.
