# Own it – Have pride in the work you do and own it from start to finish. Do what you say you’re gonna do without being nudged.
# Prove it – Know your numbers. Show evidence for decisions and prove later that they worked. This earns respect.
# Trim it – Work efficiently, and recognize when time is being wasted. See opportunity for improvements. Don’t get bloated so that projects get slowed down by unneeded communication. This is why we keep teams small.
# Solve it – present solutions not problems, and think for yourself. You have permission to create. Creation adds value. Take charge and just get it done.
# Mean it – Share opinions honestly and respectfully. Don’t be afraid to pick a side and defend it.
# Feel it – Start with empathy. Not an assembly line. Take initiative and think with the customer in mind.
# Ship it – Act with urgency and choose simple over complex. It’s better to release something early and iterate on it than perfect it first.
# Team Hubstaff – We’re in this together and we’re all on the same team. Have each other’s backs and take time to appreciate each other.
