Proactive Being

The fundamental principle of the approach is:
“I’m OK, you’re OK.”

A deeper and more meaningful connection is created in an environment where the “I’m OK, you’re OK” principle is integrated into a company’s mission, vision, and values.

By exploring this principle, we can influence and strengthen these fundamental aspects of a company:

Our Company’s Mission

The company’s mission describes its core purpose. When the “I’m OK, you’re OK” principle becomes part of this mission, it empowers each employee, recognizing their contribution as valuable to the company’s overall success. This creates a sense of shared purpose and cohesion, which can motivate employees to work towards the company’s goals with greater engagement and dedication.

Our Company’s Vision

The company’s vision is about its future direction. When leadership and employees operate within an “I’m OK, you’re OK” framework, the vision becomes not just a target for the leadership but for everyone in the organization. It encourages a culture where everyone feels responsible for contributing to the company’s long-term success and growth, and where different perspectives and ideas are valued as part of this process.

Our Company’s Values

The company’s values are its ethical compass and the foundation for how it operates. The “I’m OK, you’re OK” principle can help ensure that these values are practiced in daily life. For example, if a company’s values include respect, diversity, and innovation, such an approach supports these values by promoting an inclusive environment where every voice counts and everyone feels respected.

Practical Implementation in Company Culture

To integrate the principle into company culture, leaders can take the initiative to highlight how the “I’m OK, you’re OK” approach reflects and strengthens the company’s mission, vision, and values in their communication and decision-making.
