What we expect of our team
We operate as owners
We believe you should provide support as though you are the owner of the business or that you yourself are on the other side as the one writing into support. Additionally, if you see issues within the organization, we expect you won't just let it sit, but will actively call it out and address it.
Customer obsession
We believe focusing on client needs and wants, both known and unknown, is the key to business growth and to personal career growth. Our goal is to continually add more value to our clients and consequently our clients’ customers.
Performant autonomy
We trust our team to make the best use of their time by always doing what’s best for the company and to follow their moral compass as it relates to their specific domain of influence. We trust our team will hold themselves to a high standard and that their work, reliability, and trustworthiness will stand on its own. Consequently, we cannot afford low performance and it should be called out and handled such that morale and customer trust stays high.
Servant leadership
The role of a leader is to serve those who report to you–not to control or abuse. We expect our leadership team to make decisions for the benefit of their reports as opposed to just themselves. We believe a philosophy of putting people first and business second paradoxically yields the best fruits for the business in the long term.
