The King dispensing organizational wisdom? Not exactly, but I think his words -- noted below -- are worth considering in that context.
Values are like fingerprints. Nobody's are the same, but you leave' em all over everything you do.
The essential truth in this statement holds for organizations as much as, and in a similar way to, individuals. Your organization may or may not take the step of formally acknowledging, articulating, documenting or reinforcing its values -- but those values exist nonetheless, and they manifest themselves in all aspects of operations.
Gotta like this quote!
In fact it points out that you can not predict
the sources of wisdom in our world. You can
only pay attention all the time.
