- Extend generosity to others without seeking reciprocation. - Deeply understand and empathize with the emotions and hardships of others. - Always conduct oneself with a spirit free from cruelty, malice, or any negative intent.
- Become radically responsible by taking 100% of your responsibility. - Show appreciation and encourage yourself and others to operate in their zone of genius. - Earn trust and assume positive intent until shown otherwise. - Foster an environment in which all team members feel included, supported, and hold one another accountable.
- Always seek an understanding of the impact of your work, and prioritize impact towards our shared goals vs. being “busy.” - Eliminate ambiguity, be resourceful, and thrive by seeing problems as opportunities. - Collaborate on and communicate complex concepts using concise written narratives. - Make and honor clear commitments by actually writing down who will do what by when.
- Encourage respectful disagreement and candor by showing a hunger for new and different ideas. - Lead with curiosity, consciously listen, and recognize that everyone’s voice is important regardless of role, tenure, or seniority. - Let go of being right and celebrate changing your mind with new data.
- Be relentless and take what we do and our mission very seriously, but not ourselves. - Acknowledge your own ego and always remember it’s about our members and something greater than yourself. - It’s ok to fail and make mistakes as long as we are all continuously learning.
- We believe in recovery and that no person is too ill to recover. - If recovery does not happen in a timely fashion, it is because we have not yet found the right key. - Go above and beyond to deliver for our members even if inconvenient.
