El Lodge Taos

Value 1: Empathy
Description: In this day and age, empathy may seem like a counter-intuitive ethos to building and growing a successful and competitive company, but it has actually been critical to our success. As one of our six core values, empathy has been at the root of our tremendous drive and passion to make this unified vision reality. We were all very good friends before and remain so today.

Value 2: Leave a Negative Footprint
Description: In short, an ecological footprint is the impact of a person or community on the environment, expressed as the amount of land required to sustain their use of natural resources. It compares demand and supply: the smaller the ratio, the better, meaning that fewer natural resources would be enough for a person.

Value 3: Selflessness
Description: - We seek what is best for El Lodge Taos and the local community of which we are grateful to be a part, rather than what is best for ourselves or our group. - We are open-minded in search of the best ideas. - We make time to help colleagues. - We share information openly and proactively.

Value 4: Passion
Description: - We inspire others with our thirst for excellence. - We care intensely about our members and El Lodge's success. - We are tenacious and optimistic. - We are quietly confident and openly humble.

Value 5: Generosity
Description: Generosity is a wonderful virtue. Being generous is surprising someone on the other end with goodwill and asking for nothing in return. It could be time, attention, or treasure - we give what we're expected to, and then some.

Value 6: Integrity
Description: - You are known for candor, authenticity, transparency, and being non-political. - You only say things about fellow employees that you say to their face. - You admit mistakes freely and openly. - You treat people with respect independent of their status or disagreement with you.
