Flexibility & Responsibility
Our goal is to inspire people more than manage them. We trust our teams to do what they think is best for group — giving them lots of freedom, power, and information in support of their decisions. In turn, this generates a sense of responsibility and self-discipline that drives us to do great work that benefits the group.
We believe that people thrive on being trusted, on freedom, and on being able to make a difference. So we foster freedom and empowerment.
One may consider that the informal, smooth-running organization starts to break down, pockets of chaos emerge, and the general outcry is to “grow up” and add traditional management and process to reduce the chaos. As overbearing rules and procedures proliferate, the value system evolves into rule following at the cost of creative thinking, soon the status quo is seldom questioned. This kind of organization is unable to adapt effective as the world evolves.
On the other hand we avoid the chaos of growth, while retaining freedom, we work to have the simplest operation as we can given our growth ambitions, and to keep excellence rising. We support self-disciplined people who discover and fix issues without being told to do so.
