Rules of Engagement at Architel. . .

What do you think about these “Rules of Engagement”

  • I will be passionate—about Architel’s mission, about my work. I will love what we do for companies and employees everywhere.
  • I will demonstrate respect for the individual; I will be nice and listen to others, and respect myself. I will act with integrity and professionalism.
  • I will do what it takes to get the job done, no matter what it takes, but within legal and ethical boundaries.
  • I know that this is a company, not a charity. I will not waste money—I will question every cost.
  • I will present an exhaustive list of solutions to problems—and suggest actionable recommendations.
  • I will help my colleagues and recognize the team when we win. I will never leave them behind when we lose.
  • I will constantly improve Kaizen! I will approach every day as an opportunity to do a better job, admitting to and learning from my mistakes.
  • I will selflessly pursue customer success.
  • I will support the culture of meritocracy and pay for performance.
  • I will focus on results and winning—scoring points, not just gaining yardage.
  • I will be transparent. I will communicate clearly and be brutally honest, even when it’s difficult, because I trust my colleagues.
  • I will always be in sales and drive customer satisfaction.
  • I will have fun at work and approach my work with enthusiasm.
  • I will be a good person to work with—I will not be an ass#&%$.

I agree to live these values. If my colleagues fail to live up to any of these rules, I will speak up and will help them correct; in turn, I will be open to constructive criticism from my colleagues should I fail to live by these values. I understand that my performance will be judged in part by how well I demonstrate these values in my daily work.

Let me know if you think this would be a good document for all employees to agree to and sign. These as adopted from SuccessFactors and suggested by Guy Kawasaki.
