Your Holacracy Circle
Our Mindset
The path to success
01
We are team players
We have each others’ back and offer each other help proactively. By giving our best to let our teamwork run smoothly, we do not only offer clients the best quality, but we also let our teammates have the best working experience.
02
We are self-managers
In order to achieve success, each individual has to work as a proactive problem solver. Let’s take full responsibility for accepting, estimating, solving, and communicating our tasks to the team.
03
We make an impact
We carry an entrepreneurial mindset to detect potential for improvement, make suggestions for improvement, and ultimately turn our suggestions into action. We put ideas into practice by being persistent and by overcoming barriers along the way.
04
We are authentic and optimistic
When things go wrong, we stay positive by turning the situation into a lesson for further improvement. Instead of complaining, we make suggestions, instead of hiding flaws behind a shiny facade, we admit mistakes, for the better.
05
We have a constant beta mindset
We embrace challenges, adapt creatively to new situations, and step out of our comfort zones for personal and professional growth. Let's prioritize self-reflection and constructive feedback to enhance our potential.
06
We communicate clearly
Let’s communicate our ideas, reasoning, opinions, and decisions in a precise and transparent way to avoid misunderstandings. We consider that everything is a hypothesis and that we could be wrong.
