Champion Diversity & Inclusion

Aim for the Highest

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](https://webcf.waybackmachine.org/web/20220527231957im_/https://sf16-scmcdn-sg.ibytedtos.com/obj/static-sg/ies/bytedance_official/_next/static/images/2-296537c3f314cff605a1872b1254e709.jpeg)
Be Open & Humble

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](https://webcf.waybackmachine.org/web/20220527231957im_/https://sf16-scmcdn-sg.ibytedtos.com/obj/static-sg/ies/bytedance_official/_next/static/images/4-6cf91cd8688994524f62a6f53506a74c.jpeg)
Always Day 1
