Portofino's guiding principles were developed in 1980 by team members from all levels of the organization. These principles are the philosophical touchstone for all the Portofino team members and can be expressed in two thoughts:
Portofino Principles:

1. We are committed to open and honest communication, mutual respect and strong teamwork.
2. We are clear on each individual’s role, accountabilities and key performance measures.
3. We do not compromise standards in selection, training and job performance.
• We will only hire people with the skills and potential to succeed.
• People only advance from training when they have demonstrated the required competencies.
• Peer interviewing helps us select the right people for the team.
4. In the process of making a change, we seek the opinions of those closest to the action, listen and value their ideas.
5. Everyone should expect regular, on-going training opportunities to sharpen and advance their skills.
6. When accountabilities are not being met, we act quickly.
• Feedback
• Re-training/Redirection
• Assess results with appropriate consequences
7.We will achieve the results and share our successes.
