We start with “what is possible?” instead of being stuck in scarcity. We embrace challenges and welcome feedback as opportunities to improve. We find joy in the process and are fueled by curiosity. We aren’t afraid to take calculated risks or operate in ambiguity, recognizing that imperfection is a part of progress.
We give and receive feedback with courage, openness, and empathy. We do the right thing, even when it’s hard. We aim to understand (not judge) and teach (not take over). Our feedback is empirical and focuses on behaviors and outcomes.
We believe in what we are building and put the team first in order to accomplish our shared goals. We reject apathy and cynicism and do everything to help each other win. Being All In is not about the hours we log, nor does it mean we agree on every decision. It’s a mentality of common purpose that guides us.
