Experience Life
Experience a Culture Where Everyone
Adds Value,
Feels Valued
& Lives The Values
5. WE ARE OBSESSED WITH CULTURE.
We believe that our company will thrive with the right people, and
that the right people will thrive in the right culture.
Without people (customers and employees), we have no business.
So, we put people first.
7. OUR MISSION…
Keeping Our Promises.
Our Promise is Our Product.
The people of National Life Group are grounded
on America’s Main Streets, a place where trust is
earned and promises are kept, where a firm
handshake means something and where people
are genuine and caring.
8. OUR VISION…
To Bring Peace of Mind to Everyone we
Touch.
“We keep alive the dreams of families, the hopes
of small business owners, and the dignity and
financial independence of seniors.
In my view, no profession can be more honorable
or special.”
- CEO, Mehran Assadi
14. BE HUMBLE.
We’ll all accomplish more if we’re concerned with what’s right, not
who’s right.
15. BE TRANSPARENT.
We share knowledge, we don’t hoard it.
Everyone is expected to help each other learn and
develop both professionally and personally.
16. BE HELPFUL.
We put the interests of others at the center of our decisions.
18. BE INCLUSIVE.
We embrace diversity, in gender, race, ethnicity, sexual
orientation, disability, religion, age, cultural backgrounds,
life experiences, thoughts and ideas. It is the inclusion of
this diversity that fuels our culture and drives our success.
We all have a voice… everyone is encouraged
to use it.
19. BE RESPONSIBLE.
USE GOOD JUDGEMENT.
FOR EVERY DECISION
WE SHOULD ASK
OURSELVES:
“What’s in it for the customer?”
23. MAKE PRODUCTS THAT DELIGHT OUR
CUSTOMERS.
Meeting the needs of our customers is our number one priority.
We treat our customers like owners, because that’s exactly
what they are.
24. MAKE THINGS SIMPLE.
Simple is hard… but we believe simplicity is a
competitive advantage.
So, we always fight to make things simple.
25. MAKE LASTING RELATIONSHIPS.
Along with talent, the relationships we share with our customers,
business partners and colleagues are the lifeblood of our culture.
26. MAKE GOOD ON PROMISES.
Do what you say. We hold ourselves and others accountable for
delivering on our promises.
It doesn’t get more simple than that.
27. We don’t just believe in our VALUES.
WE’VE BUILT OUR BUSINESS ON THEM.
We hire and develop people based on these values.
28. So what makes someone a good fit for National
Life Group?
Two critical measures are required to be
successful at National Life Group:
SERVANT LEADERSHIP and EFFECTIVENESS
29. SERVANT LEADERS:
Grow and develop others.
Listen and inspire.
Give others autonomy and ownership.
Delight customers, colleagues and communities.
Live our values.
30. EFFECTIVE PEOPLE:
Get things done.
Are resourceful and adaptable.
Solve problems proactively.
Act like owners.
Balance creativity and action.
Challenge the status quo.
Are smart and curious.
Produce remarkable results.
31. Speaking of RESULTS…
Remarkable results are rarely the product of modest
risk.
We encourage experimentation.
It’s better to try and learn from our mistakes than to
deny ourselves the opportunity to invest in our
education by not trying at all.
There’s just one rule: Learn fast and learn cheap.
32. One more super important thing on RESULTS:
Our best results are insight-driven and data powered.
Debates should be won with data, not rank.
33. CULTURE
How will we know when we’ve arrived?
We’ll never arrive.
Culture is a journey with no final destination. What fuels our
journey is our “WHY”.
34. So, to recap…
• Our culture is purposeful.
• It is who we are and who we aspire to be.
• It puts people first.
• It is driven by our mission, vision and values.
• It puts servant leadership and effectiveness at the heart of our actions
and decisions.
• It promotes trying and failing, provided we learn from our mistakes.
• It is focused on producing results that are insight driven and data
powered.
