"Every team that I've been on has an atmosphere, a culture," coach Steve Kerr said. "You walk into the building and how do you feel? And that's important. So our job as a coaching staff, and as an organization, is to make this a really great place to work. And the players' job is to come in and get their work in. And if we can all together make that a fun proposition, an enjoyable one, then you got an atmosphere that you enjoy every day."
Archer is not for everyone. But for those who want to do great work and are passionate about our vision, we will give you our best. We commit to developing leaders and take seriously our role in coaching others as we tackle challenging and engaging work at our real estate investment firm.
Everyone is obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. We do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined though, we commit wholly, and we support each other to achieve the goal.
It’s everyone’s responsibility to facilitate an environment based on compassion, accountability, informed choice, curiosity, and transparency.
There will be hard, challenging work ahead. Part of the joy comes from solving the challenging problems together with stellar teammates.
Sometimes the best teammates are the ones who are willing to do the hardest, least desirable jobs. Our responsibility to our teams and clients is to constantly look for ways to remove obstacles.
We always start with the customer and work backward. We work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although we pay attention to competitors, we obsess over customers at our real estate investment firm.
Falling in love with the problem means accepting your ideas might be wrong. It means the solution that’s in front of you, regardless of how much work you’ve put into it, isn’t valuable until it’s been successfully tested with the end user. Most importantly, it means that ideas are not precious; the problem is.
We have a high bar for quality, but rather than tinkering in a lab, we prefer to put our solutions in front of customers to learn, collect feedback, and improve more quickly.
We are never done learning and always seek to improve ourselves and our team. We are curious about new possibilities and act to explore them.
We create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. We think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers.
Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking and seek to learn from our mistakes and others’ to continually find better ways to act decisively.
