Our first core value is TBD.

Description of TBD

This is a placeholder for now. This should be one paragraph, or three to seven sentences, that describe what the core value means to current members of the team (both leaders and significant contributors).

In detail

Here is room for far more detail (and links to detail pages) in describing what those descriptors mean in practice.

For example, if your core value is “Communicate Clearly” and one of the descriptors are “Always double check that your audience gets what you are trying to convey”, then this “In detail” section might list recommended practices to communicate clearly:

  1. In an email
  2. In Slack/chat
  3. In presentations
  4. In meetings
  5. etc.

Similarly, detail out any of the other descriptors as much as you can. This makes the core value come alive and gives people examples to live up to (and standards to hold each other to account.)
