THE CULTURE

Seeking Founder’s Fire

 

A founder is someone with grit, that doesn’t give up easily.

A founder sees a person first and the business challenge second.

A founder takes a question and owns providing the answer — even if they have to track it down.

A founder has pride and swagger from knowing that when a customer gives you their worst, you show them your best.

A founder curates a cultural environment of trust, where people look at each other with a sense that “we’ve got this.”

A founder is obsessed with customer feedback to understand if they’re making or missing the mark. Why? Because a founder knows who the real boss is.

A founder has a sense that work is an extension of who they are, which is why nothing than their best will do.

A founder is humble enough to recognize when their knowledge falls short and actively seeks to learn what they don’t know.

A founder sees freedom in something everyone else doesn’t … the last bullet point of a job description.

“Other duties as assigned” because, for them, it’s a welcome mat to a generous proving ground where you can make this business better at every turn.

Finally, most importantly, a founder realizes “It’s not about me.”

A master of their craft, they pass on their mojo, secret sauce and “it” willingly.

Their legacy is the flame they fan in others to unleash their potential.
