🖤 We love the depth Levels go into with breaking down their values page by page, but also giving some more context to this with video, over and above just being words on a page. You get the sense that culture and values is deeply important to the business based on the space they provide on their handbook to this. Great work Levels! 👏 ** ****Check out their entire handbook for inspiration here: 🔗Level's full handbook

Summary Notes

• Disagree and Commit is a principle which encourages team members to align around a goal, regardless of their outlook on it
• The foundation of the principle is to have people express their honest opinions about an initiative, and commit to whatever direction the company decides to go
• The principle is used as one Amazon’s core values, and originates back to Andy Grove (former CEO of Intel)
• The idea of disagreeing about an initiative and following through with relentless commitment is what helps to make a decision (and the implementation of it) more effective for a team and company
