Leadership Principles

Leadership principles guide our thinking and decision-making from every day projects to long-term planning. When making decisions under complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity (CUA), we determine our point of view and actions through the lens of our principles.

Customer Obsession — Mattermost exists to make customers successful. Every project starts with the customer perspective.

Ownership — Own the outcome of your actions. Act on behalf of the company, not just the team. Never say "that's not my job."

High-Impact — Choose high-impact projects over low-impact projects. Figure out what matters most and focus on those priorities.

Self-Awareness — Seek to understand strengths and growth opportunities while being open to criticism. Share critiques constructively and respectfully.

Insist on High Standards — Have relentless high standards. Continually raise the bar for high-quality products and processes.

Earn Trust — Make decisions based on maximizing the trust of others in your judgement. Be open, self-critical and factual.
