What is Expedition Behavior?
01
SUPPORT THE GROUP’S GOALS
Make sure that everyone knows what the company's goals are. There should also be targets set for teams and individuals along the way. Always make sure that the company goals come first and that the group and individual goals are aligned with the company's vision and core values.
02
PITCH IN
It is expected with any team that every member contribute their part. Teams are collaborative, providing a space to share differing perspectives on issues respectfully while building community within the company.
03
HELP OTHERS BUT DON’T DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM
Everyone has behaviors that are fun on the first few days but can get old quickly. Keep a handle on these habits. We want room for everyone to maintain their individuality while having the opportunity to learn and grow within their respective roles. Being helpful is one thing, doing someone's job for them is another.
04
ADMIT SHORTCOMINGS AND CORRECT THEM
When we make a mistake, we strive to take responsibility for it and move on. This lets the rest of the team forgive and help out. Masking mistakes or trying to blame them on someone else or some uncontrollable situation often builds tension instead of cohesion.
05
SUPPORT EVERYONE’S GROWTH
Expeditions exist in part to build skills and strength in humans, as well as to achieve goals. Rotating leadership on teams and an environment where everyone takes turns leading, creating committees, scouting opportunities, and other key roles builds everyone’s leadership ability as long as there are safeguards in place if things go wrong. This redundancy is also a group’s protection against losing one critical person.
06
BE “COW-LIKE”
When the going gets tough, the tough…don’t react much at all. Being “cow-like” means staying calm and sorting it out. This applies to sudden storms or a frustrated teammate. Reacting strongly raises the group’s tension level. A calm demeanor doesn’t mean disregard—but it does help you think, act calmly, and make a plan.
07
RELAXED AWARENESS
We cultivate a mentality where we are relaxed and can do our best work. We are continuously scanning our environment for nuances in our workplaces, communities, and within ourselves so that we can adapt to situations accordingly.
08
BE FUNNY
Work can be stressful, and even more so when things aren’t going perfectly. We love to laugh and have fun. We keep the atmosphere light…except when it shouldn’t be!
