Values Statements Quotes

“The dialogue is key. The hallmark of stewardship in action here is to ask people to talk about what matters to them, not to ask people to support what matters to us. Discuss common values if you must, but do not institutionalize them. Once they appear on a wall plaque they become dogma and lose their meaning. If we need to write them everywhere to remember them, then how important were they? We only make lists of things we would just as soon forget.”
― Peter Block, Stewardship: Choosing Service over Self-Interest
