Core Leadership Values

These four values have been a proven mix of ingredients for Ravi, making the best teams, workplaces, and outputs.

Nurture Intuition and Talent

Many teams over-rely on A/B tests; the outstanding ones value and nurture intuition and talent derived from in-depth experience.

Efficiency

Optimize how we design, build, and ship so we can all gain more time towards strategies beyond the status quo.

Invest in the Work

Think to where the hockey puck is going, and not what is in front of your feet. Then, invest in how to get there with the proper hedging of tests and risk.

Wholistic Thinking

From how someone may physically interact with our work, to how it's made, and our operational implications for maintaining it, it's important for designers to be wholistic in strategy.
