Often called cultural values, or core values, these are the Springest Values. They hopefully inspire your behaviour as a person, acting in the roles that you have at Springest. You can read them in the format of "we are..." or maybe ask yourself "am I... ?". We state what it means "to be..." but also what it doesn't, so you can detect and discuss behavior that goes against these values. This will always be a living document that changes as Springest and Springeteers change. Feel free to provide feedback and ask questions!
- That’s OK, they belong together and complement each other
- That’s OK too, but please tell the role holder so s/he can clarify or add examples.
- Values are about how you behave as a person, towards each other and to your customers. Skills are the tools you need to do that. They should indeed overlap a bit.
- That’s about the brand, not about you as a person, although you do serve to express it at least partially too. The Brand Identity should be the output of embracing the Values by applying the Skills. They should indeed overlap a bit.
- Talk about it, discuss what the value means for you and how you would like to see the other person act instead. If you disagree, ask a third person with a relevant role to weigh in, or simply agree to disagree.
- First, be sure that you understand the value correctly by talking to the right role. If you indeed disagree, make clear that you do, and discuss whether that conflict is reason to leave Springest because it might make you and people around you unhappy if you're not aligned with them.
- It’s alphabetic, to signal that the order or importance will always depend on the context.
