5 principles we lived by, in my previous startup
1. Hiring Principle
Attitude >> Experience >> Education
We designed our hiring process to check for culture fitment, attitude, curiosity.
Which meant looking at the resume much later. Instead starting with understand the person.

2. Leading Principle
Every manager needs to have a 1:1 with their team member, at least once a month.
And the question of whether a 1:1 did happen, will be answered by the team member and not the manager.
If they felt it was more of a review and less of a 1:1, there was no 1:1

3. Money Principle
Negotiate on the terms like it’s your own money.
Pay when promised like it’s theirs.
If I ever got any email from a vendor asking for an update on their payment, we had failed!

4. Product Principle
YOU ARE NOT the customer
It is easy to believe that we represent the customer. While that may be true, it cannot be assumed.
We started with the assumption that we know nothing about the customer.

5. Speed Principle
Accuracy >> Speed >> Perfection
It is more important for products to be accurate, then be shipped fast.
It is more important for products to be shipped fast, than be perfect when shipped.
Customers valued things done right.
