HOW Commune
 WORKS

Our beliefs: “Super-essentialism” , , “Team Commune” “Integrity” These team values ​ ​ are the attitudes that should be embraced as members of Commune.
 Considering their significance in our work at Commune, it’s essential for each of us
 to have a profound understanding and appreciation for them.
 So that members with diverse backgrounds can have
 a common understanding.
 So that they can collaborate in various roles.
 With these beliefs, we have summarized the team
 values ​ ​ into specific guidelines for action.

Do’s Don’ts Maximize medium and long term business growth Overlook mid and long-term losses for short-term gains Commune works to change the society over a five-year/ten-year span rather than a month/a year. Super essentialism 1

Do’s It’s all about users and markets (non-customers). If there is any competition to be aware of, that would be to fight against the climate of “Customer success and community are pointless”. 2 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Engage with
 an issue Focus on
 users and markets Be affected by others and emotions Worry about competitors and third parties In order to optimize your decision making, you need to first separate yourself and your actions (or others and their actions) so that you can reflect on actions. When reflecting, it is not acceptable to affect people with unnecessary secondhand stress and make it difficult for them to look back on their actions. 3

Do’s All of the members are required to work actively for the medium-term business growth. Don't be a person who says “No one told me that.”, “I didn’t know about it.”, but instead, be a go-getter. Most of the time, you are the one who is limiting your own duties. 4 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Think through the essence
 of the desired future Work
 actively Objectify the "rightness" of rationality Lack initiatives / Work passively Rationality and essence are not equals. The ability to grasp rationality is, so to speak, the basis for grasping the essence. It is also important at times to think outside the box of rationality to maximize business growth. 5

Do’s It is said that “fools learn from experience; a wise man learns from history.” At Commune, we keep history in mind, but we also think for ourselvesand pave the best way. (No matter if it’s unprecedented or not). 6 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Behave as an owner to any issues Learn from history and think on your own Be a top-notch
 critic Have an experience / tradition-bound mind To realize our vision, we do not need non-initiative critics. Always engage with an issue and keep sailing the ship. 7

Team Commune Do’s Don’ts Look forward, upward, outward Look backward, 
 downward, inward The result does not make a team vibe better; a good vibe brings a better result. 8

Do’s Commune ensures all employees have access to a gamut of information covering KPI, bank balance (which are reported to stakeholders) and stakeholder feedback to foster spontaneity among employees. Closed communication is not preferable with the exception of private topics, personal assessments and so forth which are deemed sensitive. 9 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Communicate
 respectfully Have open
 communication Mistake clarity for sharpness Have unnecessary closed communication Showing respect to people is as important as reviewing actions. Use tools in the right way. Your knives are here to solve problems, not to hurt people. 10

Do’s Because the roles of each person are different, each person, regardless of department or position, needs to facilitate each other's growth in order to realize our vision. 11 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Take responsibility for your team’s success Play a role in promoting peer growth Just perform your
 minimum duties Disrespect peers’ ideas or beliefs The key is ownership. In order to attain goals, it is also our duty to manage correctly. 12

Do’s Commune believes that Aufheben (sublimation) from conflicts is the ideal way to make decisions. Since each of us has a different role, it would be inevitable that conflicts would occur. Let's make an honest effort to handle problems and find solutions that we all can be happy with. 13 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts It is OK to disagree until a decision is made. Once it is finalized, stick to it Pursue better solutions without the fear of conflicts Complain about what is
 already decided Compromise but speak up Team Commune confronts external affairs altogether. We should have a healthy debate toward decision-making. And take responsibility for your work and trust in cooperation with each other once everything is set. 14

Integrity Do’s Don’ts Express yourself / 
 Be who you are Complain about being misunderstood while not expressing yourself / Exaggerate yourself Nothing is good about hiding what (who) you are and making yourself seem more than you actually are. Before criticizing others for their lack of understanding, explain yourself proactively to foster your own growth. 15

Do’s Behavior such as conveying messages through indirect communication and attempting to manipulate behind the scenes is not Commmune ethos, and such actions will fog corporate transparency. 16 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Feel free to speak up
 anytime Resolve issues through dialogue between people involved Change your message depending on who you are talking to Play the telephone game or use office politics Review your own/others’ actions and try to communicate with the same level of respect with everyone. 17

Do’s Working with integrity toward yourself means always doing the best you can. 18 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Bad news
 first Give your best, 
 always Hide bad news / Prevent anyone from mentioning elephants
 in the room Compromise knowing you’re not giving 100% The sooner you share bad news, the more trust you will get. It’s out of the question for you to hide secrets. But it is even worse creating an atmosphere people cannot share bad news. 19

Do’s Each of us commits to our own job. This is a precondition for continuing to take on challenges to realize our vision. 20 Do’s Do’s Don’ts Don’ts Control
 your emotion Do a job that you can show to anyone - including your family and friends Bother others with
 your emotion Do your job with a bit of a sense of guilt Control yourself as you are a grown-up. This is a business skill too. 21
