company-values
Help define company values and culture for a minimalist business
by slavingiaFree
Description
company-values is an agent skill that helps a founder define a company's values and culture, based on the approach in The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia. The skill's core principle is to set out the kind of company people want to work for before hiring anyone. It argues that good values are not generic two-word commandments but statements of the non-obvious things your company cares about, stated in non-obvious ways. The reasons it gives are practical: values tell employees how to behave every day and in extreme situations, they are more efficient than long manuals because they stick in people's minds, they attract the right people and repel the wrong ones, and they let the founder hold the team accountable. Values also outlast the founder, which lets a company grow beyond one person's involvement. The skill uses Gumroad's values as starting points, not as a template to copy. It is aimed at founders who are setting up their company culture, preparing to hire, or who want to write their values down. It is part of the slavingia skills collection and is added to a compatible agent with the skills command.…
