... and I didn't question why.

And thus is born tradition based on ..., actually I'm not sure what it's based on. Much bad process is a result of "because that's how I was told to do it" or, even worse, "that is how we did it at ...". From coding to coffee making to many other fields, progress is only made when people ask "Why?". The question shouldn't be judgmental or intended to create contention, but just for understanding and considering options. Emotive answers are almost always unhelpful, but white space and indentation issues often head that way.

    Thankfully, in the intervening quarter of a century I have become much better at asking WHY!

    Indeed, a core part of my business culture revolves around the Four C's: We Create, we Communicate, we Care about our clients and colleagues and we do everything with Curiosity

    We hire against those criteria and our Core Competencies, Job Descriptions and Assessments are all based around those simple Four C's.

      For cheap thrills, I googled Four Cs just now and found:

      • Cooperation, Collaboration, Contribution, Community
      • Customer focus, Culture, Credibility, Competency
      • Critical thinking, Creative thinking, Communicating, Collaborating
      • Curiosity, Connection, Compassion, Courage
      • Clarity, Consistency, Compassion, Curiosity

      ... but I like your business culture Four Cs the best! I especially like the way you phrased it. You seem to be growing an impressive business culture.

        Thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated.
        $work takes up a lot of our lives and it is so much more fulfilling when there are clear values to which everyone feels aligned.
