## From README

Core Principle Focus on culture before hiring. Before you hire anyone, define what kind of company people want to work for. Values are how you do that. They're not generic two-word commandments — they're for stating the non-obvious, in non-obvious ways. Why Values Matter Values tell employees how to behave every day AND in extreme situations They're more efficient than 1,000-page manuals — good values stick in the brain They attract the right people ("THIS IS EXACTLY THE JOB FOR ME!") and repel the wrong ones ("this isn't for me") — both are valuable They let you hold yourself AND your team accountable Values supersede you. They allow the company to scale beyond your personal involvement.
