GOODWILL MANASOTA

4 Pillars

Goodwill Manasota has built a cultural framework supported by 4 foundational pillars:

Its effectiveness is built around unwavering Core Values, guided by organizational Donated Goods principles, cultivated by learning with the expectations of personal development grounded by metrics.

Core Values & Guiding Principles

Every organization has a "culture", a set of values, and a way of doing business, which sets the tone within the team. Despite our decentralized structure, our unique mission needs within the communities that we serve, and geographic scope, Goodwill Manasota strives to maintain a remarkably consistent organizational learning culture.

Leadership Development

Leadership truly represents the team, brand, and impact that our organization is able to make within the communities that we serve. A strong leadership development program is essential to create a performance-oriented accountable culture that acts with a sense of urgency and purpose.

Asset Development & Real Estate

Real Estate and Asset Development must be key with intentionality in the identification and use of facilities that are modern, barrier-free, and efficient reflecting organizational Core Values, enhancing community engagement with alignment with the operational strategic plan.

Management Information Systems

A positive culture around metrics embodies learning, reduces turnover, and produces better results. Fundamentally, we understand that people move metrics and in turn, metrics move people.
