Why do we need Core Values?

Core values help everyone at a company take the right decisions when we don’t have prescribed steps of operating (yet).

They are meant as a general guideline for any situation you could encounter, and allow you to make the right decision by yourself.

Core values are especially important at a midstage startup like $Company because:

1. The majority of our people has joined the company less than 2-3 years ago, so many people need guidance from a few.
2. We are still figuring out and optimizing much of our work, which means it is not fully documented and prescribed yet.

What should you do with Core Values?

1. Whenever you prepare or make a decision, try to take guidance from the core values.
2. Whenever you see evaluate someone else’s decision at the company, try to evaluate them not against what you think is right or wrong, but on whether they “live the core values”
3. When you are not sure a proposed decision is in line with our core values, ask the Directly Responsible Individual if they can explain better how they are aligned. This is especially important coming from newer employees, as they have a fresh view on inconsistencies that may have slipped in overtime.
