Intentionality is: purposefully thinking and taking action toward a specific outcome.
At Stellate, intentionality permeates everything we do. Our actions demonstrate our choices in the “how” and “why” of the way we show up to the broader ecosystem and to each other. Our intentional actions build the foundation of trust, vulnerability, and accountability, which enables us to do the best work of our lives.
Being intentional about our actions also means not taking action when it’s not the right place and time to do so. We are committed to driving focus by doing less because even seemingly small decisions can have deep ripple effects across Stellate.
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
We can’t win alone, we have to win together. Combining our unique experiences and skillsets allows us to achieve more together than we ever thought was possible. By fostering an environment of trust, collaboration, and growth we can maximize our collective potential and do the best work of our lives. Let's work together to win as one team!
We assume good intent.
We assume the best when consuming information. Whether it’s listening in a conversation, reading a message, or reviewing a proposal, we assume our team has the best intentions in mind and we come back to them with care and curiosity.
We default to open.
We actively create opportunities for improvement by being open with information, process, and learnings. **By sharing in the open, we are enabling each other to make decisions and thus all of us move faster.
We value individuality.
We acknowledge English is mostly our second language, and the fact that we come from different cultures and life experiences, we want to embrace the things that makes us different and collaborate in building a better company and making the best possible products. The whole is more than the sum of its parts!
We share ownership of our purpose.
We are all stakeholders of accomplishing our mission, we will hold each other accountable, and always challenge each other and our assumptions to keep us focused on our purpose.
We do whatever it takes.
We proactively raise our hands, act on things, and put our efforts into improving the ecosystem we operate in. While we work towards common goals, we embrace that we have diverse priorities and certain aspects of our work that are dear to us. This means that we see opportunities arise at different points and in different areas. These combined efforts make sure we are moving forward as a company.
We create a space for all of us to belong.
Having a sense of belonging enables us to do our best work, trust our peers, and come with an open mind. This means we collaborate in creating a space where we can make mistakes, learn, and grow.
We are fast, together.
We don’t go undercover and play the hero, instead we share context, and move together to accomplish our goals. We will prioritize documentation and knowledge sharing over racing to the finish line alone. We support each other, push each other, and make sure we are all moving forward even if that means slowing down to check our pulse.
We embrace vulnerability.
We acknowledge we are not robots performing tasks, we are humans with real feelings. We listen to each other, we don’t do feigning surprises, and show up with empathy and openness to any interaction. This also means we support each other when having a bad day or trough any situation we might be going trough life, and we give each other space when needed.
We make time for fun.
We cannot collaborate effectively without trust, and having fun together is a great way to build trust. We make space and time for bonding as a team and getting to know each other better.
We include each other.
We pay attention to what others say, and intentionally hold space in all conversations to make sure everybody is included.
