VMVC: Vision-Mission-Values Coherence
Common Organizational Reality
Employees often perceive
disconnections between their
organization’s espoused values and
the attitudes and behaviours that
supervisors encourage or censor
Perceived disconnections cause
disengagement of energy because that
is the only way for most employees to
maintain psychological balance
Risks of disengagement from
intelligently chosen strategic
initiatives multiply when an
organization’s culture is defensive and
uninspiring
Although many will offer their
intuitions and hunches, accurate
means are available to identify the
attitudes and behaviours of both
actual and desired cultures

Leadership Message from Authentix
Smart leaders recognize that
disconnections lead to confusion, distrust,
and acrimony but the practice of engaged
dialogue leads, in time, to trust,
creativity, and coherence
Insightful leaders recognize that even the
most brilliantly focused and powerfully
invested strategies fail when
disengagements are left unacknowledged
or unaddressed
Wise leaders choose, in advance, cultures
that are knowingly suited to the market
niches being targeted, and inculcate
clearly stated values by example and
coaching
Truly vitalizing leaders find practically
prudent ways to integrate and balance the
subtle linkages between cultural realities,
leadership style, ideal values, and
focused, persistent implementation

Testimonial
Chant Construction Limited is a 45-employee company committed to sustainable electrical energy
development through superlative project planning and a humanly energizing approach to contractual
and organizational productivity and individual well-being. It has established a reputation for
shockingly excellent service to power utilities in both Canada and the US. Chant is now engaged in a
long-range plan to grow a culture its leadership knows will focus employees on realizing sustained
prosperity for the company as much as for themselves. Says Founder and CEO Ted Chant: “Combining
corporate productivity with personal well-being has always been more art than science, and hence a
seemingly inaccessible goal to many. We began our quest for work nirvana 7 years ago knowing that
an Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) would be a part of it. Having helped my corporate team
reach and communicate the balance among interests that a successful ESOP requires, Authentix
Coaches’ Angus Cunningham is now helping us realize larger aims through the growing of an
organically constructive culture, in which the values we bring from our home, workplace and
marketplace experiences are refined into an equitable, coherent and vital whole. Having a 2-hour
coaching session each week with Angus is to find one turning the relentless pressure of today’s
working world into clarifying insights, intriguing intuitions, and focused initiatives in which one feels a
welcome degree of inner confidence, and often renewed energy. Each session enables me to reframe
my sense of what is occurring in my world with such accuracy that my setting of priorities and
decision-making is not only making my own life, and those of my family members, less workaholic,
but also beginning to make the working lives of all our employees more productive and enjoyable.
Having Angus coach us through the many transitions we know we now both must and want to make is
giving us, when the going gets tough, confidence that we “have it in ourselves” to realize shockingly
excellent success!” – Feb 2007
(Shortly after this testimonial was received, we learned that Chant's ESOP launch offering was taken up by
90% of its permanent employees. This figure compares with an average figure of 30 to 40% for ESOP launch
take-ups in the United States).

The substance in these messages is much easier to state than to practice. And the onus is not only
on leaders or owners to bring them to life in an organization. A coherence of values is needed so
that owners, leaders, and the teams that leaders inspire can all work more or less spontaneously
together to identify and meet the needs of customers productively.
