In this post we will dig further into ECM's core values. Your team has been evaluating ECM's core values with the goal of developing specific steps that will guide you in fulfilling the mission and vision of ECM. You will continue to do this as you evaluate the next value. There are no right or wrong answers. I ask you only to honestly, together with your co-workers, discuss what each value looks like with "flesh" on it. How can we put each value into practice on a regular basis? I look forward to your comments as together we grow as a staff. Here is Core Value #5:
We will have the Courage to take Risks: We will promote a culture of learning, dreaming, developing, and changing.
How can we, as ECM staff, be intentional about having the courage to take risks? Share your responses/ideas in the comments section on this blog, and discuss with your co-workers!
Being intentional about having the courage to take risks, requires being selfless. You need to acknowledge that for you to reach out to the vulnerable children and community, you will face stumbling blocks of either resources, or ridicules due to different perceptions, among others. Therefore, you need to take a leap of faith and trust God to see you through during this journey of giving hope and dignity to the destitute.
