{BALANCED SCORE CARD (BSC) STRATEGIES:
A balanced scorecard is a strategic management performance metric used to identify and improve various internal functions and their resulting external outcomes. Balanced scorecards are used to measure and provide feedback to organizations.
 
To ensure long-term flexibility and survival, an organization needs to prepare for the future. The balanced scorecard managing system “maps an organization's strategic objectives into performance metrics in four perspectives:
1)    financial,
2)    internal processes,
3)    customers/constituents and
4)    learning and growth,”
reports NetMBA.
 
The Balanced Scorecard Links Performance Measures:
How do customers see us? (customer perspective)
What must we excel at? (internal perspective)
Can we continue to improve and create value? (innovation and learning perspective)
How do we look to shareholders? (financial perspective)   By Kaplan and Norton}

CORE VALUES: CODE OF CONDUCT-GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

Vision and Values Led
“the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be. A vivid, imaginative conception or anticipation”
“adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.“
 
1)    A bias for action is leadership from a desired Vision of a future. This Vision is not necessarily defined by the limitations of the present nor by the considerations of the past. It is a conscious choice for optimism-positivism and not for negativity-pessimism.
 
2)    The foundations of our rock-solid unity to overcome rancor and disagreement, is based on the strength of our common vision and the confidence on our shared values - for Family, Freedom, and Faith. We strive for unity, and compromise when necessary. We address conflicts from the greater good of our common vision and values.
 
 
Integrity and Transparency
“the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished”
 
1.    Deepen the research and understanding of FLAG contributions and exceptionalism in US history. Inculcate FLAG pride of identity and history of victory over suppression and oppression.
 
2.    Transparency of intention, agenda, financial income-expense, and clarity of measurable outcomes are crucial. Conflicts of interest are handled with full disclosure and transparency. Colonial legacies of corruption are overcome by setting an example of the highest ethical standards. Valor-virtue-values are the foundations in raising the FLAG voice of undiminished integrity.
 
 
Inclusivity, Bayanihan, and Communication
1)     Build a culture that is inclusive. Individuals and groups of FLAG descent, racially and ethnically are welcome. Membership is open to anyone who is aligned and committed to support the vision and values of the FLAG USA Movement. All FLAG tribes, (a group or class of people with strong common traits, values, or interests), languages, ethnicities, regions, provinces, religions are acknowledged.
 
2)  Bayanihan (the spirit of communal unity and cooperation) volunteerism and initiative is the Filipino term of helping and supporting each other and the community to succeed. Create a culture of recognition that edifies (uplift, build up) each co-volunteer and leader. Consciously eradicate any colonial vestige of “divide and rule-crab mentality” and back biting. We focus, accept, work with, and build on the talents, strengths, and capability of volunteers; and not on their limitations.
 
3)    Seek to live with the truth through primary source, direct experience-communication and not through secondary source hearsay. Differences of viewpoints, analysis, and opinion are settled through Servant Leadership communication and edification. There is a specific focus to avoid any colonial vestige of ad hominem (Attacking an opponent’s character or motives rather than answering the argument or claim. Appealing to one’s prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than to one’s intellect or reason.) and personal criticism.
 

Servant Leadership
“It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead.” Robert Greenleaf

10 Principles:
Listening, Empathy, Healing, Awareness, Persuasion, Conceptualization, Foresight, Stewardship, Commitment to the Growth of People, and Building Community. (The Journal of Virtues & Leadership)
