We aim to evaluate the outcome of projects and initiatives based on how we executed them and how well we made decisions with the information we had at the time, rather than how they ultimately turned out.
Opposite Value: Individualistic, cowboy, "no bullshit", high conflict/high friction
Arguing some viewpoint you don’t actually believe in (argument as a verbal sparring sport).
Playing devil’s advocate for fun instead as a problem solving technique.
Elk pissing - Making changes to someone else's work that do not materially improve it, for the sake of leaving your own stamp on it (like an elk marking territory).
Interrupting someone else who's speaking, in general.
Feigned surprise, except when used to set up deadpan humor in non-work-related discussions.
Our expectations should always be that the other people on the team are competent, reasonable, and operating in good faith.
High-friction skepticism - it's fine to question assumptions, especially in light of new information, but it should be done in a way that minimizes conflict.
Well, actually - interrupting someone to make a minor non-material correction, usually of the form "well, actually, James Madison wrote most of that document".
We'll all occasionally exhibit them, so the correct response is an acknowledgement, a quick apology, and then everyone moves on.
Look out for these anti-collaborative behaviors - it's everyone's responsibility to correct these behaviors when we see them (h/t Hacker School).
We value institutional knowledge and spend extra time and effort to document our work and share our learning with the rest of the team.
When you're working on something hard, consult with someone else on the team.
We look to create an environment where working together is more enjoyable and creates better output than working alone.
