Guidon has established four Core Behaviors that all Team Members are expected to uphold. These expectations are clearly define and encompass the following areas:
- Wash the Dishes
- Do the small stuff. This mantra has guided our behaviors since our inception when literal dishes were the responsibility of everyone in the office. Helping one another permeates all areas of our culture.
- Follow-Up on Commitments
- Do what you say. Keeping our word is not only important externally, but internally as well. Commitments are made to ourselves, each other, and our clients. Whether it be in professional development goals, annual firm updates, or project kick-off meetings, following through is all about maintaining a culture of accountability.
- Solve Problems Proactively
- Come with solutions. Identifying a problem is crucial but engaging the problem with potential solutions is even better. We tackle issues head on and take ownership – leading the charge toward a resolution.
- Lead Through Listening
- Listen first, talk second. This is a guiding principle in how we interact with each other and our clients. It prioritizes empathy and assumes nothing.
- Establish annual education and training plans and goals for self.
- Meet or exceed professional standards of work.
- Actively pursue personal continuing education.
