If you join a zoom call with me, my background isn’t a perfectly curated bookcase or beautiful plants, its this flag …
I chose this, not only because it was hanging in the developers section of my first office job, but because it is the antithesis of how you build a good culture.
Sadly this mindset is all too common and so dejecting. I recall working at an office where the production team wanted their area painted (a small request), but the business team wouldn’t do it until revenue targets were met – something the production team was not even responsible for!
At StoryTap, one of our five values is Family. We want to support our team members personally and professionally, proactively helping them so they can do the best job possible. We haven’t always got this right, but seeing that flag behind me is a constant reminder of how important team morale is and how I don’t want to operate.
