Champion Diversity & Inclusion
- Be tenacious in making sure that the diversity of the world is reflected in your team. Welcome people as they are, value uniqueness, and bring out potential. Encourage participation from everyone. Seek out views that challenge your own to create mutual respect and true appreciation of differences. Be a champion of inclusion and foster a welcoming workplace.
Aim for the Highest
- Raise the bar. Wait for bigger gains. Find the best solutions by widening your perspective. Be attentive. Distill ideas down to their fundamental truths. Keep learning and growing.
Be Grounded & Courageous
- Make your own discoveries. Dive deep into facts. Stay level-headed. Focus on impact. Assume ownership, take risks, break the mold. Rapid iterations, multiple possibilities.
Be Open & Humble
- Trust yourself, trust each other. Be willing to offer and ask for help. Collaboration creates value. Approach problems with the big picture in mind. Be mindful and check your ego; stay open to different ideas.
Be Candid & Clear
- Dare to share your honest opinions. It's okay to make mistakes. Own it when you do. Stick to the facts, identify issues, and avoid "leader-pleasing." Be accurate and forthright; be methodical and focused.
Always Day 1
- Take initiative and push boundaries — there is no task too big or too small. Be resilient. Face reality and change it. Embrace change as an opportunity. Thrive in it. Always think like Day 1.
