Focus on what matters: - Reevaluate priorities as necessary to pick the work that will have the highest impact to the customer and the business. - Work hard in a way that is sustainable. Choose the schedule that lets you achieve your best. Measure results, not hours. - Respect your time and that of others; come prepared and leave with commitments.

Take ownership: - Take initiative by proactively identifying issues or improvements and fixing them. - Strive for excellence. Hold yourself and your colleagues to a high standard. Create something that makes you proud. - Follow through on our commitments to customers, users, and each other. - We are all doers, regardless of role — no task is beneath you.

Iterate to excellence: - Prefer action over perfection to learn quickly from early feedback. - Be flexible and accept the need to make tradeoffs and change directions. Everything is a work in progress, nothing is done. - Question prevailing assumptions, but understand them first. Gather evidence and champion ideas that will make our products and our company better. Verify and validate.

Communicate openly and respectfully: - Offer and expect transparency to build trust. - Confirm mutual understanding, especially in the face of disagreement. - Treat each other with respect. Criticize constructively — the work, not the person.

Have each other’s backs: - When interacting with each other, always assume good intentions. Trust each other and take risks together. - Give praise generously and take joy in others’ accomplishments. - Grow a diverse team by actively seeking different backgrounds and cultivating an inclusive culture. Focus on how others' strengths complement us, rather than how their weaknesses invalidate them.
