Cultural Self Assessment
| Cultural | Values | Read More | Self Assessment + Personal Story |
|---|---|---|---|
Empathy | Communicative | 5.- Empathy is key to any team. There is no doubt that one can always get better at understanding who we are speaking with, and how they are feeling. There is always room for improvement. Having a small daughter definitely makes this a key element one needs to focus on! | |
disconfirm own beliefs | 9.- I’ve always believed that ideas are like apples on a tree, ripe and ready to be picked! If I am convinced by an argument, I am happy to incorporate it. | ||
self-aware & articulate | 7.- I believe that I can present ideas and articulate them in a coherent and clear manner. | ||
Personal | share a drink | 7.- Oh my, as one grows older it gets harder and harder to stay up! But what a great feeling it is to have that drink! | |
spend 10 hours daily together | 7.- I have noticed that it is when you are talking to people that one is the most creative. However, one then needs alone time to ensure you meet your objectives. A healthy balance is necessary. Having said this, as many of us work remotely, spending time as a team is incredibly important. | ||
nurture & mentor | 9.- Probably one of my strong points, but not yet applicable to Harmony. Being new to the ecosystem I am still learning as I go, but will happily provide support as I see where my colleagues could benefit from my skills, particularly when it comes to working in different cultural settings. | ||
Collaborative | make everyone shine | 8.- Absolutely. Your colleague wins, we all win. | |
people over process | While one is obviously inclined to say people… the answer is not that simple as they are not incompatible. A lack of process can lead to tensions within team members. They go hand in hand. Good processes can make people thrive as they focus on their core competencies. | ||
dare to disagree | 7.- As one better understands the protocol and the company’s corporate culture, one feels empowered to dare to disagree. This is the case within Harmony. | ||
Passion | Devoted | long-time craftsmanship | 8.- Having a little girl gives perspective on this point! Professionally, we are only at the beginning of blockchain |
obsess over details | 8.- As time and time goes by…. more and more so. The space is getting crowded, and it is only by delivering quality work that we will stand out. | ||
hungry & foolish | 8. Without a doubt. | ||
Aligned | share the mission | ||
optimistic about flying off a cliff | 9.- Well, we are still here, in an emerging business and its a bear market! :) Being optimistic helps when you when the environment you were raised in cared for you and loved you. | ||
your 50-year dream | The family. | ||
Authentic | consistent with own actions | 8.- Don’t ask what you would not do yourself… but keep in mind that if someone would not do what you do, they most probably do some other things much better than you! | |
make tough decisions | 7.- There simply is no way around this, or circumstances come back with a vengence. | ||
admit mistakes | 9.- It goes back to the point on ideas. You can only improve. | ||
Excellence | Technical | top 1% superstar | 6.5.- I need to improve my technical understanding of blockchain, but believe I can bring value based on my banking and international development experience, having work (and nurtured a network) in numerous countries |
effective tooling | |||
relevant to our needs | 8.- I believe I can provide important added value by supporting Harmony grow in emerging markets. Social Impact will see exponential growth and lead to high number of transactions . Another important business line is the corporate strategy | ||
Potential | 10x growth | 9.- Constantly trying and great to be in an industry where both the subject matter and my colleagues allow me to grow. | |
voracious learner | 8.- Absolutely, but it is aways hard to strike that balance between family work and learning! | ||
contrarian thinker | 8.- I left banking to work as a humanitarian worker in conflict zones. | ||
Impact | accomplish important work | 8.- The reason I came to this field. BC can make real difference on millions of people’s lives | |
activity < productivity | 7.- Focus on those key points first, particularly if they can block other people’s work. | ||
thrive in chaos | 10.- Absolutely…maybe too much! |
