Companies with resilient cultures have amuch betterchance at long-term success than those that lack this sense of connection.
Importantly, the best companies in the world have a clearly defined set of shared values.
Finding the best employees requires looking for values fit more than a cultural fit.
While every company should thoroughly investigate their own criteria, there is much to be gained from shared experiences.
These three tenets are the foundation ofDensityand guide all our decision-making.
Be humble
Encourage humility in both client and employee interactions.
Humility helps organizations build a logical, socratic culture by encouraging self-awareness.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
It helps employees build authentic relationships with customers, and one another.
This is why you should hire and fire around humility.
Seek feedback
Company cultures that consistently identify conflict are more likely to resolve it.
The first step to reaching such a resolution is feedback.
While some people believe feedback should be given anonymously, this approach is not constructive.
Discreet and polite feedback, especially when given one-on-one, should be constantly encouraged in the workplace.
It discourages back-channeling and faceless complaints, which are unhealthy and prevent open communication.
This openness encourages humility, trust, courage, clarity, directness, logic, and care.
It is a fundamental requirement of a healthy, growing company.
There cannot be growth without feedback.
For that reason, prioritizing the most important task is the third tenet our company swears by.
Some people refer to this concept as first principles, while others call it focus.
We call it solving the fundamental problem.
To solve the fundamental problem, you must recognize whatdoesntmatter.
These are all qualities you should look for in potential employees.
There are so many fun things to do and there is so much to learn.
These three values humility, feedback, and intentional focus have brought our company success in our field.
By paying attention to these rules, you too can find similar success.
