Own it.
Take pride in your work and accomplish what you set out to do. See it through to completion. Find and provide solutions to problems and take initiative.
Attack the idea, not the person.
Engage in constructive conflict and get all ideas out in the open at the start of a project. Treat others respectfully and embrace new perspectives with an open mind.
Innovate relentlessly.
Seek to learn continuously and cultivate a culture of innovation and curiosity. Adopt an always learning mindset and flex your idea muscles often.
Execute and get results.
A strategy is just a theory unless it is executed. Plans, while important, don’t move the needle for the company. Results do. Look to create the highest impact, efficiently.
