We convince or get convinced, asking the same from everyone. If an initiative comes top-down, we debate it until we fully buy-in, then champion it to our teams.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Fighting Complacency</strong>: We challenge the status quo and fight complacency with our whole hearts. We're vocal when something is going wrong, seeing it as an opportunity for a better world.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Having Fun</strong>: While our work is serious, we trust our gut when we have a 10x motivation to try something new.
