Peter Drucker said, “Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast,” and we believe that is true. Culture is defined by ceremonies, artifacts, and the behaviors of the team. At Hard Yards, we attempt to be intentional about the culture we are building together. Whether learning how to be a pit crew together, conducting offensive driving maneuvers as a team, or honoring our clients with bobbleheads, we aspire to maintain a high peforming culture that enforces our values and drives great outcomes for our clients.
Values
We value transparency (courage, integrity, communication, and clear priorities)
We value diverse, team-based work (selflessness, passion, collaboration)
We value continuous, incremental learning (curiosity, innovation, and open minds)
Articles of Agreement
Life is short, we want to solve hard transformational problems.
There is no such thing as a work/life balance – it is all life. We choose to create our life’s work in complete alignment with our personal values.
We covet freedom and responsibility, so we limit rules and demand initiative. Act in the team’s best interest (team, teammate, self).
Every day we are faced with situations that challenge us and make us uncomfortable, leaving only two choices: step forward into growth or step back into comfort. We choose to step forward every time.
We take pride in mastering our craft and in our ability to bring empathy, logic, and character to solve any problem. We also understand that there are forces we do not understand and always leave room for our customers to vote.
We love what we do, we love why we do it, and we love who we do it with and if one of the above is missing – we do not do it.
