L3Harris has three values.
Not four, and Trusted Disruptor is not one of them.

What this page covers

L3Harris's rubric is simply core values, three of them, quoted from l3harris.com and the 2026 Code of Conduct. This page maps each value to resume language: the verbatim description, a show-this example, an avoid-this, and the behavioral probe a reviewer would map to it. It also covers the two things guides get wrong, the count (it is three, not four) and Trusted Disruptor (the brand and mission wrapper, not a value), plus what L3Harris does not publish, an applicant scorecard.

The quick answer

How do I show L3Harris's values on a resume?

L3Harris has three core values, quoted from l3harris.com and its 2026 Code of Conduct: Integrity, Excellence, and Respect. It is three, not four: the standalone Accountability some listicles print is actually a descriptor inside the Integrity definition, and Trusted Disruptor is the brand and mission wrapper, not a fourth value. L3Harris publishes no applicant scorecard, so treat the three values as the cultural bar a reviewer reads your resume against, not a graded rubric. On a resume, do not list the values as labels. Embed each one inside a STAR achievement with a metric: a compliance concern you reported under pressure for Integrity, a milestone you delivered at a first-pass yield for Excellence, an interface you aligned across teams and a supplier for Respect. Map your bullets to a real L3Harris job description and the segment vocabulary, then prove each value in the work. Scan your resume to see which values your bullets already show. .

L3Harris publishes three core values, Integrity, Excellence, and Respect, quoted verbatim from l3harris.com and the 2026 Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct sets the framing line above, and the three values are what the company says are at the heart of everything it does. The source is L3Harris's own pages, not a culture blog, which matters because the third-party listicles that rank for L3Harris's values are frequently wrong on the count.

This page does three things. It quotes each value verbatim and maps it to resume language: a show-this example, an avoid-this, and the behavioral probe a reviewer would map to it. It separates the three values from Trusted Disruptor, the brand and mission wrapper that candidates most often miscount as a fourth value. And it corrects the data errors third parties print, most often a phantom fourth value called Accountability.

Read the three values as a cultural bar, not a graded scorecard. L3Harris publishes no applicant values rubric, so the resume reading is the same for all three: a reviewer indexes on the value being visible in the outcome itself, not asserted as an adjective.

What L3Harris does not publish

L3Harris publishes the three values and the Trusted Disruptor mission line, but no named applicant scorecard and no per-value grading sheet, unlike Amazon's Leadership Principles or Lockheed Martin's Full Spectrum Leadership. The values are the cultural bar a resume is read against, assessed through behavioral rounds, not a public graded rubric. STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is candidate best practice, a method L3Harris does not name, so do not claim every applicant is scored on a values rubric. And use the fuller Code of Conduct wording for Respect: the About Us page currently drops “inclusive,” while the governing Code of Conduct keeps “community-minded and inclusive.”

The three values, deep-dived

Every value, a worked bullet,
and the probe.

Source for the three values and the verbatim descriptions: L3Harris's about-us page and the 2026 Code of Conduct. The descriptions below are quoted exactly as L3Harris publishes them. The what-it-means, resume examples, and interview probes are ResumeAdapter's mapping, illustrative templates rather than L3Harris-supplied.

01
L3Harris value 01

Integrity

“Our decisions and actions are based on ethical, honest and accountable practices.”

The official L3Harris description, verbatim

In a cleared, ITAR-controlled environment, integrity is accountable practice under compliance pressure: honest reporting on test results, cost, and schedule, and treating classified and export-control obligations as non-negotiable. It reads as accountability you can audit, not a values statement.

What it means in practice
Show this on your resume

Show an accountable act you can audit: a discrepancy you owned and reported, an export-control or safety call you made, an honest status you gave even when it was slower or costlier. Attach the counterparty and the number.

Reported a test-data discrepancy on a missile-tracking payload to the program office before a design review rather than let it pass, then rebuilt the verification checklist that closed it, taking late-stage documentation defects to zero across 24 subsequent deliverables.

Avoid this anti-pattern

High-integrity or accountable asserted as an adjective with no situation and no auditable outcome. Integrity claimed as a trait is filler.

High-integrity, ethical professional committed to accountability and always doing the right thing.

Behavioral STAR probe

“Tell me about a time you reported a problem, a test failure, or a compliance concern under schedule pressure. What did you do, and what was the outcome?”

02
L3Harris value 02

Excellence

“We perform at the highest levels through flawless execution, customer focus and constant innovation.”

The official L3Harris description, verbatim

Performing at the highest level on programs where a quality escape or a missed milestone carries mission and contractual consequences. It reads as flawless execution you can measure, a first-pass yield, an on-time delivery, or an innovation with a metric, not a claim of excellence.

What it means in practice
Show this on your resume

Show execution against a hard bar: a first-pass yield or escape rate you drove, a milestone delivered on the contractual date, a process you innovated with a measured improvement. Lead with the delta.

Delivered a Falcon radio integration milestone on the contractual date while holding first-pass yield above 97 percent, and introduced an automated test harness that cut regression cycle time 30 percent with full requirements traceability.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Excellence-driven and detail-oriented as an adjective stack with no execution named and no number. Excellence claimed without an artifact is filler.

Excellence-driven professional delivering flawless execution with a strong focus on quality and innovation.

Behavioral STAR probe

“Tell me about a delivery you owned that had to meet a hard quality or schedule bar. What did you do, and what was the measured result?”

03
L3Harris value 03

Respect

“We tackle every challenge with a sustainable, community-minded and inclusive approach.”

The official L3Harris description, verbatim

Tackling challenges with a sustainable, inclusive approach: aligning teammates, suppliers, and communities toward the mission rather than optimizing your piece alone. It reads as how you brought people who did not report to you to a shared outcome.

What it means in practice
Show this on your resume

Show a specific instance where you aligned two teams, a supplier, or a customer to an outcome no single group owned, or where you improved a sustainable or inclusive practice. Name the mechanism and the result, not a collaborative label.

Aligned two engineering teams and a propulsion supplier on one interface definition for a solid rocket motor test, reconciling timing and data assumptions into a single interface control document and recovering three weeks on the integration schedule.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Collaborative team player or inclusive leader as a trait with no situation and no result. A belief statement is not evidence.

Respectful, collaborative team player who works inclusively across functions to support the mission.

Behavioral STAR probe

“Tell me about a time you aligned people who did not report to you, across teams or with a supplier, to reach a program result. How did you do it, and what came of it?”

Value names and descriptions quoted verbatim from L3Harris's about-us page and 2026 Code of Conduct. Resume examples and interview probes are ResumeAdapter's mapping, illustrative templates.

  1. The brand line

    “Trusted Disruptor is more than a name, it's how we perform each day.”

  2. The mission

    “As the Trusted Disruptor, we innovate relentlessly and deliver capability with the speed, passion and determination that our customers demand in executing their most challenging missions.”

  3. The operating principle

    “Moving fast requires trust, and moving forward requires disruption.”

Brand and mission statements quoted verbatim from l3harris.com. They explain the culture the three values operate inside, but none of them is a fourth value, and a resume that lists Trusted Disruptor as a value reads the marketing page instead of the values.

Three data errors circulate about L3Harris's values, and getting them right is a small signal of homework. First, the count. Third parties such as growthsharematrix (formerly matrixbcg) print four values by promoting Accountability to a standalone value. It is not one: accountable is a descriptor inside the Integrity definition, “ethical, honest and accountable practices.”

Second, the shape. Older listicles float a stale three-sub-attribute breakdown per value. The current first-party form is a single one-line definition per value, so quote the one-liners from l3harris.com and the 2026 Code of Conduct, not an expanded legacy version.

Third, a minor first-party drift. The About Us page currently renders Respect without “inclusive,” while the governing 2026 Code of Conduct keeps “community-minded and inclusive.” Use the Code of Conduct wording, which is the fuller and governing form.

The fix for a resume is the same in every case: quote the three current values, keep Trusted Disruptor out of the values list, and prove each value with a quantified achievement in the segment vocabulary. Run your resume against a real L3Harris job description and evidence the three values with what you actually did.

FAQ

L3Harris values FAQ

The questions most candidates surface when they map their resume to L3Harris's values. Answers are byte-identical to the FAQPage JSON-LD, because AI engines that extract HTML and AI engines that extract JSON-LD should not see different text.

What are L3Harris's core values?

Three, quoted verbatim from l3harris.com and the 2026 Code of Conduct: Integrity ('Our decisions and actions are based on ethical, honest and accountable practices'), Excellence ('We perform at the highest levels through flawless execution, customer focus and constant innovation'), and Respect ('We tackle every challenge with a sustainable, community-minded and inclusive approach'). The framing line reads: 'Our shared values of Integrity, Excellence and Respect are at the heart of everything we do.' It is three, not four.

Is Trusted Disruptor a value at L3Harris?

No. Trusted Disruptor is L3Harris's brand and mission identity, not one of the values. L3Harris describes it as 'more than a name, it's how we perform each day,' and its mission statement opens 'As the Trusted Disruptor, we innovate relentlessly and deliver capability with the speed, passion and determination that our customers demand.' The three values are Integrity, Excellence, and Respect; Trusted Disruptor is the wrapper around them, so keep it out of the values list on your resume.

Does L3Harris have four values including Accountability?

No. That is a third-party error. Some pages, including growthsharematrix (formerly matrixbcg), count four by making Accountability a standalone value, but 'accountable' is a descriptor inside the Integrity definition ('ethical, honest and accountable practices'), not a value of its own. L3Harris publishes three values: Integrity, Excellence, and Respect. Anything listing four is miscounting the Integrity line.

What is L3Harris's mission?

L3Harris's mission statement is: 'As the Trusted Disruptor, we innovate relentlessly and deliver capability with the speed, passion and determination that our customers demand in executing their most challenging missions.' The company frames this under the principle that 'Moving fast requires trust, and moving forward requires disruption.' Trusted Disruptor is the brand and mission wrapper, not a fourth value alongside Integrity, Excellence, and Respect.

How do I show L3Harris's values on my resume?

Map each value to a STAR bullet (Situation, Task, Action, Result) with a quantified result and L3Harris segment vocabulary. Integrity reads as an accountable act you can audit, such as a test discrepancy you reported under schedule pressure. Excellence reads as flawless execution, a milestone delivered on the contractual date at a first-pass yield, or an innovation with a metric. Respect reads as aligning teams, a supplier, or a community to a shared outcome. Use terms from Space & Mission Systems, Communications & Spectrum Dominance, or Missile Solutions, and prove the value in the outcome rather than asserting it as an adjective.

Does L3Harris score candidates on a values rubric?

There is no published applicant scorecard. Unlike Amazon's Leadership Principles or Lockheed Martin's Full Spectrum Leadership, L3Harris does not publish a per-applicant values rubric, so treat Integrity, Excellence, and Respect as the cultural bar your resume and interview answers are read against, not a formal grading sheet. STAR is candidate best practice, a method L3Harris does not name. Write to the three values as a bar, and do not assume every applicant is graded on a formal rubric.

What does L3 stand for in L3Harris?

The L3 in L3Harris is the L3 Technologies heritage, not a job level. L3Harris was formed on June 29, 2019 from the merger of equals between Harris Corporation and L3 Technologies, so the name carries both companies. It is a common mix-up with engineering level codes (like an L3 or T3 grade at other firms), but at L3Harris the L3 is corporate lineage, not a rung on the ladder.
