The values are trade-off focused, meaning they include two ends of a spectrum and aim for optimal balance. For example, we care about taking action fast and in high quality. Those are often mutually exclusive, so we care about making the right trade off in the right context. In 90% cases shipping something that’s ‘good enough’ is ‘good enough’ because the speed with which we move matters more than the quality of the v1. In the other 10% of cases, being highly deliberate is crucial (for example when making decisions that are costly and hard to revert).
We are outstanding at having impact because we find the right balance between delivering fast and producing excellent results. Each situation requires a different balance, and we become great at navigating it.
