Working at Stellic / Culture / Values

The founders have inherited the My Heart is in the Work philosophy from Carnegie Mellon. Using that philosophy, here are the four values that we live by everyday. These 4 values are reflected in our behavior, in our decisions, and in our brand:

1. Be a Student 🔍 (aka Student)

   Curiosity • Growth Mindset • Humility

2. Own the Mission 🚀 (aka Founder)

   Extreme Ownership • Impact Driven • Ship. Shipmates. Self.

3. Drive for 10x 🌟 (aka 10xer)

   Leverage • Velocity • Excellence • 11-Star Experience

4. Lead with Heart ❤️ (aka Human)

   Human Centered • Empathy • Integrity

Here is how you can think about each of these values.

Be a Student 🔍

Curiosity • Growth Mindset • Humility

• Curiosity: strives to understand (1) the why behind the decisions, (2) the people and their behavior (3) first principles behind the systems, processes and the platform.

• Growth Mindset: adopts the Growth Mindset (as defined by Carol Dweck in a popular book). Carol best defines Growth mindset in contrast with Fixed Mindset.

  

• Humility: leads with openness without ego; titles and hierarchy don’t matter in discussions - ideas and persuasions do.

Signs of embracing this value:

• anytime you don’t understand something, you naturally lean towards learning and are comfortable in seeking help.
• you want to know enough to be helpful in any area you touch.
• you influence others by sharing the stories, reasons, first principles or rationale behind your perspective and gather feedback with curiosity
