No. That is just cheapening credit. No politics means giving credit where it's due and when it's due. In a good start up, people don't care much about giving or getting credit except for cool, remarkable and worthy things.
Everyone giving everyone else credit... That is what actually leads to some really poor cultures.
- sokoloff 17y agoEveryone giving everyone else credit for something is a good culture. Everyone giving everyone else credit for any individual thing or for everything is not a good culture. The first means that everyone at the company is being acknowledged as contributing, which usually means that they are in fact contributing. If I'm the "tech guy" and I can't give credit to the business or marketing or finance guy because deep down I don't respect what they do or think that it's my contributions that are making the startup go, then we're in for a bumpy road.
