Mosaic Trust is built on values prescribed in the Bible and solid business practices which complement each other greatly (that is not a new revelation). We hold three values in a special light:
Significance
There are only two things in life that really count, God and people. Significant behavior is that which impacts people—making their life better or their eternity secure.
I think the critical difference between success and significance is that success has more to do with outcomes I’m in charge of, while significance has more to do with outcomes I’m not in charge of….success is focused on my action, my control, my outcomes, whereas significance is found in a much larger context.
The words of Dallas Willard from Finishing Well by Bob Buford
Purpose
People must be intentional about being significant—purpose is at the heart of impacting lives.
People
God loves people—all people (period). Whether business or ministry, profit or non-profit, we accomplish more significant results through great people performing greatly.
People decisions are the ultimate—perhaps the only—control of an organization. People determine the performance capacity of an organization. No organization can do better than the people it has. The yield from the human resource determines the organization’s performance. And that’s decided by the basic people decisions: whom we hire and whom we fire, where we place people, and whom we promote. The quality of these human decisions largely determines whether the organization is being run seriously, whether its mission, its values, and its objectives are real and meaningful to people, rather than just public relations and rhetoric.
Peter Drucker, Managing the Non-Profit Organization
