JUST GO BUILD

• You see a gap in the system, and you do not wait for someone else to fill it. You fill it.
• You self-seek the resources available at Volta that you need to be successful.
• You don’t just point to problems, you point to solutions too. Pointing to solutions is just as important as pointing to problems.

THE DATA SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

• You make decisions based on past data collected and future data projections.
• You present your raw data to your team, you do not wait for it to be complete.
• Your opinions are backed by data.
• You let the best idea win, even when it is not yours.

MAKE IT MESSIER

• You build prototypes in all aspects of your work; build something, try it, and see if it works.
• You encounter a problem and you first seek to understand the problem before solving it. Immerse yourself in it, absorb it, drink it in, become the problem.
• You share your early-stage work with your collaborators, and you ask for their input.
• You always select the cheapest option, with reasonable evaluation.

ASK WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS

• You ask questions respectfully, openly, and directly.
• You ask why decisions are being made the way that they are.
• When asked questions about why you have made the decisions you have, you provide as much information as you can.
• You absorb the other person’s response and collaborate on the best action plan.

TRANSPARENCY FIRST

• You tackle problems directly and immediately, with all parties involved.
• You are an objective observer to problems within the work you produce.
• You understand that feedback is never personal.
• You own the work that you do.
• You do not hide under anonymity.
• When you disagree, you say so.
