A few years back we've defined our values at Stockly, and the way a Stockler should behave to represent the group. Here are a few examples of our 15 commandments. Curious to have external feedback about it 👇
𝐍𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐞.
Don't judge the person you are talking to, especially before learning more about them. And even after. Of course you have your perception, and the right to dislike someone, but never feel superior and judge their behavior or their mindset.
𝐍𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.
Speak about people with restraint and respect. Don't trash people. If you want people to say good things about you, to be nice when you are not in the room, the very first necessary step is not to speak badly about other people.
𝐁𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞.
Do not brag, always remind yourself that you are a speck of dust in the universe. Any man who must say "I am the king" is no true king.
𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.
Learn from everyone. You should always try to spend more time listening than talking. Hearing yourself talk doesn't bring you any new information, listening to others does.
𝐁𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥.
Always fight for your ideas, for what you believe in, but do it with rationality. A point is powerful when it relies on real figures & examples.
𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.
Always be nice with people inside and outside the company. But if you feel someone is not being nice to you, don't take it personally: try to understand and to open discussion.
