Companies with resilient cultures have a <\/span>much better<\/span><\/a> chance at long-term success than those that lack this sense of connection. Importantly, the best companies in the world have a clearly defined set of shared values. Finding the best employees requires looking for values fit more than a cultural fit. While every company should thoroughly investigate their own criteria, there is much to be gained from shared experiences. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have always been proud of our culture at Density<\/a>, and for many team members it\u2019s one of the key reasons for working for the company. After five years and dozens of drafts, we boiled down our core company values to the following: be humble, seek feedback, and always solve the fundamental problem. <\/span><\/p>\n

These three tenets are the foundation of <\/span>Density<\/span> and guide all our decision-making. I wanted to share why we landed on these three and how you can apply them to your own company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be humble<\/b><\/h2>\n

Encourage humility in both client and employee interactions. Humility helps organizations build a logical, socratic culture by encouraging self-awareness. Being open about strengths, weaknesses, and room for improvement is a ballast against politics, arrogance, hubris, and gamesmanship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humility is great for business, both internally and within customer relations. It helps employees build authentic relationships with customers, and one another. Humility encourages transparency about the capabilities of a business\u2019 services, allowing companies to be open when they are not the right solution and making employees trusted counselors to their customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humility wins business, it\u2019s inclusive, it keeps us nimble and honest and it leads to high voluntary employee retention. This is why you should hire and fire around humility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seek feedback<\/b><\/h2>\n

Company cultures that consistently identify conflict are more likely to resolve it. The first step to reaching such a resolution is feedback. <\/span><\/p>\n

While some people believe feedback should be given anonymously, this approach is not constructive. In a truly open work environment, feedback shouldn\u2019t be seen as an attack or a punitive measure, but as a helpful starting point to improve the company starting at an individual level. <\/span><\/p>\n

Discreet and polite feedback, especially when given one-on-one, should be constantly encouraged in the workplace. Here are some phrases you\u2019ll hear around the office at successful companies:<\/span><\/p>\n
