courage
We are willing to say no, to ask for help, and to try things. We question the status quo and challenge with compassion. We are strong enough to adapt to shifting priorities and brave enough to celebrate when things go differently than planned. We speak with candor and clarity because it's kind.
focus
To meet our goals and delight the community, we finish what we start and take on limited projects. We are fixated on delivering value, not on a to-do list. While our specific plans will evolve, we are relentless about enabling the community to succeed because they are the center of our work.
openness
We always have more to learn so we consistently seek new ideas. We are transparent about our individual and collective areas of opportunity, and are willing to seek out feedback from our teammates. We continually demonstrate our work, and know that doing so is a competitive advantage.
respect
We honor the voices, skills, and contributions of others. We recognize that we are better and stronger because of our diverse backgrounds and experiences. We treat one another as whole, creative, and purposeful beings with positive intent. We add to the ideas of others as we listen, share, and encourage.
commitment
We are all in for our teammates, our community, and the change we wish to see in the world. We follow up and follow through, which means we're careful about what we say yes to. We know that it is ok to disagree with one another—but when we do, we discuss it privately; in public, we speak with one voice.
