We are a fiercely optimistic band of happy warriors who commit, adapt, and win.
“Fiercely optimistic” means we believe in our mission, the rightness of our cause, and the certainty of our victory. We know the future — we WILL prevail against the status quo that created fearful investing. We appreciate the benefit of healthy conflict about ideas, but we each buy into and care about our culture. Aloof, detached, cynic or skeptic will never make it here.
“Happy warriors” means we reject jerks who tear down others, people with a victim mentality, mercenaries who don’t believe in our mission, and narcissists who think it’s all about them. When we encounter setbacks, we find a way to put it in context, put a smile on our faces, ask for support from others, and get back to winning. Complaining gets us nowhere.
“Commit” means that in the process of making decisions, we have a duty to voice our disagreement if we disagree, and then we fully commit to the decision once it’s made. True commitment means embracing and adopting the new strategy as our own, and being able to make a compelling case to our teammates why they should do the same.
“Adapt” means we are a continuous learning organization, and we embrace the speed at which we adjust our strategy, our game plan, our organizational structure, and our processes.
