( Mission to Mars – Core Values )a) Gather the exec teamb) If we had to take the best parts of our
company to mars, but only had 5 seats, who do we send? (culture not performance)
c) Each persons writes 3-5 people and what they exemplify – values, characteristics etc.
d) Go through list and find most re-occurring names and values
e) Go through that list and look for intersections – what do they all share. This is what's living right now!
