EMPOWERING HUMANITY
TAKES REAL LEADERSHIP
The SWEN leadership values shape all aspects of our life at work. They guide our conversations, help us make decisions and motivate us to create solutions that empower our teams, our company and humanity as a whole.
SWEN Leadership Values
Treat mistakes as learning opportunities.
Not everyone is going to get things right all the time, but we admit when we are wrong and rectify our mistakes so we can set a good example and use the situation to improve ourselves and those around us.
store
knowledge, create data.
We document and store our work, processes and ideas to ensure the entire organisation -- including future team members -- learn from them and are moved forward by them.
Recognize exponential potential.
We recognise and reward ambition over tenure, especially when that ambition is coupled with innovation and excellence.
Have emotional intelligen-ce.
We continually seek feedback and maximise opportunities to learn and improve and when feedback is sought from us, we present it in a way that educates and assists.
Innovate relentless-ly
We encourage innovation in every aspect of work and life, focusing on how we can use our talents and intelligence to be faster, more efficient and more productive.
Take Action
Strive for Greatness.
We research, we evaluate, but we also take action when a decision needs to be made and something needs to be done. We use our attitudes, energy and focus to strive for greatness and instil a sense of pride in our teams.
Win the war for talent
Hiring and retaining the top people and having them consistently perform at their best allows SWEN to win the global talent war and fulfill our mission.
Know what’s going on
Factual information is the lifeblood of a healthy society, so we investigate the facts until we understand them and present them in ways that empowers through the content we curate and the tools we build.
Take responsibility in work and life.
We carry ourselves with poise, humility, gratitude and appreciation because we know that how we conduct ourselves in life, within our families, in our communities and in general society influences our work.
Take calculated risks.
We use logic and data to calculate when it is appropriate to take risks so we can improve.
Tell important stories
We tell important stories with different perspectives that inform, inspire, encourage and empower people to help them fulfill their potential.
Be passionate and hopeful
Optimism is what we choose in the face of great challenges, believing in our abilities to deliver our mission and achieve our vision.
Learn, unlearn and relearn.
We accept that we might have to stop thinking about something in a certain way so we can open our minds and learn about it again in a better way. Everything we think we know is open to changing and evolving with new information.
