I love my job.
Although there are NUMEROUS reasons why I love working at Mavidea, I thought that I would put together a “Top 10” list for today’s Daily Attitude Email. I feel very blessed to be part of this awesome team and here is why:
1. We do the right thing…EVERY DAY. Nothing less, just the right thing. This is evident most often when we perform service for the client. We navigate ourselves with the idea that we are going to do what is right by the client…not based on what is best for Mavidea’s bottom line.
2. We have a diverse team. As we have grown, we have increasingly become more diverse and this will continue as we grow even more. I believe that we have an atmosphere that embraces different perspectives and backgrounds. We are all a team with a unified focus on our clients and each other.
3. We execute. You have heard me say that we are out-executing other firms in our industry and that is the truth. Execution takes focus, hard work, consistency and effective communication. I see all of those attributes daily and as a result, we are moving at a pace most IT firms never experience.
4. We are focused on our culture. Mavidea must be a place that creates an enjoyable lifestyle for each Mavidean. Each one of us is accountable for helping the company enrich our culture and we all embrace that.
5. We love to have fun. We work hard, but we play hard too. This is definitely part of why we have a great culture, but even so, it is worth pointing out. We all know it is OK to be goofy or belt out a song/dance or shoot someone with a Nerf dart when the time is right.
6. We are Go Givers. I have witnessed firsthand numerous scenarios where our Go Giverosity (yes, it’s a word…now) has inspired other organizations to also be Go Givers. In an important way, it is changing our community and touching the lives of so many others outside of Mavidea.
7. We care what people think about us. Almost 5 years ago, we started a company dedicated to serving others. As a result, we care about how that service impacts people. We do our best to generate feedback from our clients as well as our team so that we can continue to improve what we do.
8. We have humility. As a young company, we have had to get out of our own way. We could easily be too proud to make changes or too stubborn to identify and acknowledge our weaknesses. However, we take the opposite approach and genuinely WANT to know how we can improve things within our company. Mistakes are part of the learning process and allow us to get better. We would have never grown this quickly if we had a different approach.
9. We have sooooooooooo much potential. If you think the first 5 years were crazy, HANG ON…it’s going to be a wild ride during the next 5 years. We have built something really special and we will continue to grow and evolve. I firmly believe we can accomplish ANYTHING we set our minds on. Look out, world, here comes Madvideo!
10. Jake’s Daily Attitude Emails. Wow. Can you believe Jake cares about us enough to spend 15-30 minutes early each morning to put this email together? He does this in an attempt to help each of us have a better day and I am grateful. Thank you for doing what you can each day to make a difference. It inspires me to be a better person and work harder myself to make a difference too.
Man, I love you guys.
Everybody Wang Chung tonight…
