Team expetaction and values.

I had to prepare a document for onboarding new teammates and thought it would be a good idea to write down what I expect from my team. I can probably do better, but for now, I think this is good enough.

 

 

• “I don’t know, but I will figure it out” attitude: We don’t have all the answers and we certainly don’t expect anyone else to either. But what we do expect is a shared commitment to curiosity, a willingness to explore, and the determination to find solutions.

 

• How you do anything is how you do everythingi: Whether it’s tackling a complex project or handling routine assignments, the same level of dedication, attention to detail, and passion is expected.

 

• Who Needs Managers When You’ve Got Awesomeness: We’re not fans of traditional management. Our goal is to have a team where everyone is self-sufficient and doesn’t need constant supervision. We trust each team member to take ownership of their work, be proactive, and contribute independently. This also means you’re not just handed tasks; you’re encouraged to identify and tackle significant problems that matter to you.

 

• Smartassery Encouraged:  You should aim to be the go-to expert in some area of knowledge. If there’s a problem we can’t bring to you, you might need a bit more to thrive in our team.

 

• Relentless Pursuit of Excellence: We champion a mindset of constant self-improvement, pushing you to reach new heights both personally and professionally. We expect you to strive to be better every single day.

 

• Golden Rule: Thou Shalt Love Pizza, Especially the Divine Creation Known as Cheese Pizza. It’s Not Just a Food, It’s a Way of Life!
