Our Values
-
Honor Others Before Yourself
- Affirm dignity by recognizing and responding to the needs of your team. Actively resolve issues; never wait for things to just get better. Respect people of all positions through word and behavior.
-
Balance Focus with Flexibility Before Making Decisions
- Be willing to abandon a path when it proves futile. Maintain the essential “10,000-foot view,” but keep track of the “on-the-ground” work. Pay attention to market trends and proactively respond before you are forced to react.
-
Inspire Vision Before Setting the Course
- Model the way for your team. Help your team realize how each person’s role contributes to a larger picture. Be sure to share not only the “what” and “how” of your vision but also the “why.”
-
Innovate and Disrupt. Challenge the Normal to Create the Best
- Understand the issues or problems completely and objectively. Eliminate artificial barriers to solutions with the “it was never done that way” thinking. Build buy-in to innovation and disruption by focusing on the “adapt or fail” realities.
-
Choose Integrity and Ethics Before Profit
- Be clear on non-negotiables that define your integrity (especially with yourself). Identify how integrity will increase your long-term profitability or success. Remember ethical business practices reduces long-term risk.
-
Serve with Humility Before all Else
- Recognize that every leader has room for improvement, including yourself. Always ask others how you are doing and never stop re-evaluating your performance. Look for boring tasks you can do and opportunities to connect with others that demonstrate you are truly approachable.
-
Put People First and Privilege People Before Tasks
- Show tangible appreciation for your team – through both word and deed. Put people first (over money and time). Be proactively kind to your team, routinely finding ways to encourage them and support them.
