Lovepop Operating Philosophies
A+ talent loves working with A+ talent. A+ talent delivers 10x outcomes.
Growth mindset. We believe people develop over time, that capability increases through belief and hard work. Most increases in productivity come from leveling up and applying more leverage and focus over time rather than by applying more resources or hours.
The team I’m on is more important than the team I lead. From Patrick Lencioni’s “The Advantage”: leaders need to put their working team’s objectives ahead of the objectives of the team they themselves lead for an organization to be effective.
Executive leadership team commitments: We value our time together, Create a safe space, Get everything on the table, Make clean agreements, Set the standard.
