Empowering Teams for Growth and Innovation
Innovation thrives in an authentic culture where operations and invention blend. Create an environment where teams can learn and grow through experimentation and failure. Embrace the reality of a changing world and decentralize control to empower teams to adapt and make decisions.
The greatest obstacle to progress is ourselves. Embrace difficulties as opportunities for personal growth and success. Rely on principles and think instead of seeking borrowed wisdom. Challenge the addiction to predictability and control and embrace uncertainty. Address organizational debt by eliminating structures and policies that no longer serve us. Foster trust and empower individuals to exercise judgment and do what’s right.
Relentlessly pursue continuous improvement. The most important characteristic of high-performing teams is that they are never satisfied and always strive to improve.
Embrace the uncertainty of innovation and allow for variation and divergence. Make disciplined bets in both good and bad times. Integrate developers, testers, and operators to create a continuous process. Manage the portfolio of concepts, prototypes, and products.
