Treeview strives to be a team of managers of one. A manager of one takes ownership by setting their own pace, direction, identifying what needs to be accomplished and taking action without waiting for explicit instructions or external energy. They manage their time effectively, work independently and understand that there is always more work to be done, more initiatives to take and more opportunities to work on.
We work asynchronously and remotely, so it’s important to proactively share information about the status of what we are working on. Status updates should be communicated from the closest point of contact to the work and should be broadcasted asynchronously. The responsibility of keeping everyone in the loop lies with those closest to the context. No one on the team should need to ask for an update because the information should already be available asynchronously.
We all have the details and context for our work, assume others do not. Provide the necessary context when collaborating with others. Make it easier for them to understand and engage with a conversation or request. Do the prep work for others to ensure smooth collaboration.
Introduce urgency into what we do. Emotionally align with the status of each project and phase and execute with the appropriate urgency. Do not rely on external pressure to drive your actions. Set your own direction when one isn’t given, determine what needs to be done and do it without waiting for someone to tell you to. Assume that others are busy. If you need something, take the initiative to get it yourself.
Be humble and proactive. Reach out for guidance, feedback or support when needed. Managing risk means identifying challenges early and seeking help before small issues become big problems. We’re a team which means leaning and supporting each other.
We hate micromanagement. Treeview’s core-team operates with autonomy, self-drive and self-motivation. People who need constant direction, rely on external pressure and energy to get things done or default to idleness are not a fit for Treeview’s core team.
We expect every team member to have Seniority, agency and manage their time effectively.
