I forget where I read this, but the best values are ones that actually explicitly state the tradeoffs you are talking about as part of the value. The best values are statements that, if the logic were inverted, could also apply as values to a different company that cares about different types of outcomes.
The one that comes to mind immediately would be the classic FB "move fast and break things" motto. It explicitly states what the company wants, and what it's willing to sacrifice to get there.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoYes, I have seen values like: Consistency over Completeness Fairness over Kindness Volume over Efficiency etc
- tomnipotent 7y agoSounds like Andy Grove's "High Output Management", which I believe mentions that values need to be something you can use to make a decision one way or the other.
- PMan74 7y agoAgile manifesto nailed that Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
