Hike Code
• We have a deep desire to do great work (a quest for excellence)
• We’re default optimistic & enthusiastic (it’s worth extra 50 IQ points)
• We value self awareness and a continuous desire to develop ourselves
• We love bar raisers that raise the level of a group (both new and existing hikers)
• We love non-conformists, rebels but have a deep dislike for ‘brilliant jerks’
• We believe a deep alignment to our values is the entry fee
• We care about our impact in the world (missionary over mercenary mindset)
• We don’t take ourselves too seriously - can have a laugh
• This is hard work so we stay fitter than most - mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually
• We lead above the line (creative consciousness > victimize)
Remember
Working with great people is one of the best parts of life When interviewing, ‘Yes’ must be a big yes, and a maybe is a no. Remember, we’re acquiring an asset (not just a person) Mediocrity is the silent killer. Suffering and tolerating mediocrity is the worst reflex we can have. B players kill orgs. Behaviour is a choice, not a skill set. Choosing a behaviour not desired (‘jerk’) is choosing not to be part of the org. It’s a violation
