For us, values are not just inspirational words painted on the office wall. At Mojo, they are used shape the culture, guide decision-making, and make the right hires as we scale.

At the company All Hands, we award our values and learning champions to look after our company mascots that week.

Always Hungry

Mojo people are relentlessly ambitious. This isn't about competition with others, it's about being obsessed with your own potential and what's possible. Hunger here means setting bold goals, taking real swings, and finding joy in the pursuit. It’s self-driven, contagious, and visible in how you work every day.

When this value is lived:

• Setting stretch goals.
• Dedicating time to war rooming (collaborating intensively on a goal)
• Being nosy and contributing generously to add fuel to various projects around the business.
• Being a charming pain in the butt to external stakeholders by persistently chasing, bumping email chains, making bold asks.
• You make others believe they can achieve more than they thought possible

Anti-value:

• Operating in your own comfortable lane while the team sprints ahead
• Hitting all your goals because you set safe ones that don't stretch you
• Being unable to match your teammates' energy and ambition
• Delaying great ideas because your plate is too full

Say The Thing

Mojo is a truly safe place to work, but it definitely isn’t a place for wallflowers or passive peacekeeping. We expect you to speak up, challenge, and make Mojo better through ideas and feedback. We also expect you to invite challenge from your teammates. At every level, to every level. People have even been known to tell the CEO to fuck off and been met with thanks.

When this value is lived:

• Everyone feels safe to challenge and be challenged.
• Input, disagreement, and candid feedback are shared bravely and received gratefully.
• Speaking up is the norm, not just something certain personalities do.
• No one worries about whether their question is dumb.

Anti-value:

• Biting your tongue or being indirect with concerns, feelings, or dissenting ideas.
• False harmony of nodding along or green-lighting ideas you actually have constructive feedback about.
• After something fails, saying “I knew that wouldn’t work”.
• Gossiping or back channeling your feedback.

Swim in Spilt Milk

We don’t dwell on failures or setbacks or missteps. We swim in spilt milk and get right back to it, learning as we go. Mojo people are resilient, gritty and ambitious, moving from failure to failure with undiminished energy and optimism that we will succeed. We love those who are tenacious, dig in, bounce back, and use every so-called loss as fuel for the next win.

When this value is lived:

• Meeting mistakes with humor, learning, and a readiness to help.
• Failure inspires and motivates.
• Jumping in to help your colleges when something goes wrong.
• Post mortems, retros, and rupture repair.

Anti-value:

• Sulking, blaming, or losing steam after tough moments.
• Saying something can’t be done before reimagining the process.
• Giving up or letting setbacks kill your fire.
