| 1. Best People Attract Best People | - Having colleagues that inspire you every day helps you learn, helps you feel good about yourself, helps you be excited about work and helps you succeed in your own work.
- People who bring the team down are simply not welcome.
|
| 2. Don’t forget your Beginner's Mindset | - We are not scared to be vulnerable and ask the simplest questions.
- Walk into every problem without the fear of knowing less than everyone else even if you’re the most senior. You’re senior because you know how to learn, not because you know more.
|
| 3. Trust & Transparency | - We talk openly, publicly and don’t talk behind each others backs.
- Always suspect best intentions (culture differences are hard) but question when misunderstood.
|
| 4. Change is Inevitable / We Constantly Improve | - We adapt to change and build our processes around that inevitability.
- If we adapt faster than our competitors, they will only ever be chasing us.
- Our improvement process in one of our superpowers.
|
| 5. Life is Hard | - Remote work is awesome but can also be lonely. We find ways to talk about and support each other on the low days.
- We have pandemics, floods, heatwaves, wars, illness and general hardship. The better we support each other in any kind of challenge the better we become.
|
| 6. Limit Ambiguity | - Ambiguity is the mother of all team development anti-patterns.
- Teams are highly aligned, loosely coupled. We know what’s expected of us and our work weeks are clearly planned & communicated.
|
| 7. Sharing is Caring | - We share knowledge.
- We share fun.
