We are here to make an impact on the world<br>2. Each teammate brings limitless possibilities<br>3. Everyone here is a leader<br>4. Run far with your ideas. We will celebrate as you do<br>5. Think absurdly big<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You<\/strong><br>6. Set high expectations<br>7. Inject tremendous energy into the system<br>8. V = d\/t. Velocity = distance over time. Your big ideas can help us move great distance at the speed of light<br>9. Run on the leading edge. That is where digital teams need to be<br>10. Be the absolute best craftsperson you can be. Be scary good<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spirit<\/strong><br>11. Consume knowledge widely. Read, listen, watch, learn. Go to the movies. Go to music festivals. Listen to new genres. Bring that goodness in<br>12. Study health. Exercise. Nourish yourself<br>13. Nurture your inner monologue<br>14. Be an animal when needed<br>15. We compete with the best. Let\u2019s run with them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Growth<\/strong><br>16. Build systems. Think long term<br>17. Be right the first time<br>18. Transfer knowledge. Your priceless energy can change someone\u2019s life<br>19. Hasty advice can harm. Give and receive advice analytically<br>20. Use quiet time. Develop your great ideas. Build legacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service<\/strong><br>21. We are all in the service business<br>22. &#8220;How can I help?&#8221; is magic. Ask this daily<br>23. Be early. Early says &#8220;I respect you&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Value of time<\/strong><br>24. Finish what you start<br>25. If it takes less than two minutes, do it now<br>26. Don\u2019t waste time. Definitely don\u2019t waste others\u2019 time<br>27. Never leave people hanging<br>28. Procrastination is fear. Forward motion helps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communication<\/strong><br>29. Be a lifelong student of communication: Written, visual, verbal, and non-verbal<br>30. Critique ideas, not people. Be comfortable giving and receiving critique. Grow from feedback&nbsp;<br>31. Absolute transparency<br>32. Share gratitude right away. Systematise thanks<br>33. You can say anything if you say it with compassion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our team at&nbsp;Big Blue&nbsp;recently released a culture handbook.
