The people who consistently succeed at Better Together are those whose actions and behavior reflect our five core values. If you adhere to these values and answer “yes” to each of these questions, you may be a fit.Owners Mindset : You are invested in the outcomes of our mission.
Are you a self-starter who is able to take initiative in order to complete a task?Do you often seek opportunities for professional growth?
Choosing Gratitude : There are many things in life that can make us upset. Every day we have a choice to either be negative or give thanks.
Do you often go out of your way to help others?Have you written a thank-you card in the last 30 days?Are you a positive person who is more focused on opportunities instead of obstacles?
Love Others : We aim to love others like Christ loves us. Our hope is that our lives would be filled and overflowing with love, so that we can make a difference in this world.
Do people often say you are a good listener?Do you make decisions based on what’s best for others over yourself?Do you often find yourself looking for ways to make others feel empowered, important, and appreciated?
Partnership-Oriented : Internal and external relationships are not transactional. That starts with our team members and the perspective that we need the rest of the team to succeed in order to win personally.
Are you comfortable creating your own structure for work, such as setting work hours, your own priorities, and creating clarity and a work plan from a broad goal?Do you tend to be the one who initiates conversations with colleagues, rather than waiting for them to come to you?
The Sky is the Limit : We have a big vision at Better Together. No one on our team is counting hours or widgets. We are here to get results, and sometimes that will require going the extra mile or doing a job that isn’t technically ours.
