Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles aren't just a pretty inspirational wall decoration. They are the foundation of our unique culture and shape everything we do, from how we hire to how we make decisions.
Customer Obsession
Leaders start with the customer and work backward. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust.
Ownership
Leaders are owners. They think long term and don't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.
Invent and Simplify
Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify.
Are Right, A Lot
Leaders have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.
Learn and Be Curious
Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves. They are curious about new possibilities.
Hire and Develop the Best
Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They recognize exceptional talent.
Insist on High Standards
Leaders have relentlessly high standards many people may think these standards are unreasonably high.
Think Big
Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction.
Bias for Action
Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study.
Frugality
Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention.
Earn Trust
Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They are vocally self-critical.
Dive Deep
Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently, and are skeptical when metrics differ.
Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit
Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable.
Deliver Results
Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion.
Strive to be Earth's Best Employer
Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment.
Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility
We must be humble and thoughtful about even the secondary effects of our actions. We create local impact.
