to do Stop trying to do everything at once! Resources are always limited. You shall fail if you try to do everything. It is crucial to decide "what not to do." Just because other company is doing it, doesn’t mean it would work with us! Don’t Do Don't try to do this and that without reflecting back. Let's step back and realize. For every quarter, we will only laser-focus on two things.
not the people Doubt the company system, not the colleagues. If something isn't going well, in most cases, it's due to the company's system, not your colleagues. Blaming on someone will quickly ruin the organization. Don’t Do It's not the engineer or the sales or anyone's fault. Core problem lies within the company's system. Let’s own the problem and a make a better system.
-the root What users say is just the tip of the iceberg of deeper issues. We need to identify the real problems behind their words. Do not blindly accept users' words; observe thoroughly. Don’t Do Company A said they wants feature B, so let's implement it. What are the actual purpose to desire for feature B? What is the real problem underneath?
Reflect All talk and no action is not suited for startups. Likewise, people who just do what they are being told, without thinking through are also not suited. Those who can habitually think for themselves, act on their own, and reflect on their actions are the one who’s got it ALL. Don’t Do Thinking about strategy. Just doing what you're being told. Neglect to reflect. Find the issues on your own, implement the solutions, and always reflecting on the results.
share and allow all the informations to be accessible! Except for the information on HR, fundraising, and M&A. The more information you hide, the more likely the organization will collapses. The sooner you share the bad news, the better the outcome becomes. Don’t Do Only communicating via DM. Keeping documents in a private environment. Share information openly through Notion, Slack, and GDrive.
We embrace intimate communication! We work remotely across the countries, so the conversation is tend to be only about work. We want not just a great reliable colleague but also a great friend. Don’t Do Not setting a profile picture. Only posting about work. Setting a profile picture with your face. Sharing aspects of your daily life beyond work.
