INSIST ON GREAT TALENT<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nOnly with excellent people can Gong be successful in the long run.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe\u2019d rather grow slower than lower the bar for hiring and maintaining exceptional talent. Ideally we are looking for people who are as good if not better than us.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

CULTIVATE BELONGING AND DIVERSITY<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nOur responsibility transcends hitting our goals and KPIs. We know that Gong\u2014and the world\u2014will be a better place when people from diverse backgrounds, races, genders, cultures, sexual orientations, ages, and experiences thrive.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe work hard to ensure that everyone feels they belong at Gong and make the extra effort to bring them in.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

EMPOWER YOUR TEAM<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe hire, grow, and nurture great people so they can do great things at Gong. We provide our teams with direction and context, then trust and empower them to make it happen.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nPart of empowering your team is understanding that we all make mistakes. We see mistakes as opportunities for learning and development.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

SHARE. A LOT.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWithout information and context, Gongsters can\u2019t make decisions and achieve great results.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe promote a culture of open information sharing and encourage our teams to communicate transparently across the organization.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe err on the side of over-sharing and communicate frequently and clearly to our teams and to our own leadership.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

ENCOURAGE DEBATE<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe don\u2019t have all the answers. With great people by our side, we listen intently and encourage them to express their ideas and opinions, especially when they are different from our own. We celebrate and encourage their feedback.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe don\u2019t make decisions by committee, yet we are genuinely interested in hearing a diverse set of views prior to making a decision.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

DEVELOP AND GROW<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nOne of our core responsibilities is to mentor and coach our team members.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe take time to develop and grow successful Gongsters and take pride in their success, even if it materializes in other teams or even other companies.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

Go Big<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe set ambitious goals that feel uncomfortable and are hard to achieve.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe are aware that we may not fully achieve them, but we\u2019d rather strive for great things than take the easy route.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe\u2019re willing to take calculated risks to yield those big outcomes and experiment with new ideas so we can make Gong exceptional.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

WE ARE ALL TEAM GONG<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe\u2019re all part of the same team\u2014Team Gong. Gong’s long-term success will be determined by collaboration between teams. We won\u2019t get there by narrowly focusing on our own team goals.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nInstead, we operate as one team to help us win.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

MAKE TOUGH CALLS<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nAs leaders, we’re often required to make uncomfortable decisions that may make us or others around us unhappy. Letting inertia guide us or following the path of least resistance may be easier in the short term, but will not get us to where we need to be.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nInstead, we act swiftly and decisively, making the best choice for Gong.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

NO ROYALTY<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nLeadership is about responsibility, not superiority. We all play an important role in Gong\u2019s success.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nWe act humbly and modestly, serving our team members, and building relationships as humans regardless of our titles.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

HONE YOUR CRAFT<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe aim to build one of the world\u2019s best companies. We aim not only to grow bigger, but keep getting better at most things we do.\n<\/p>\n\n

\n\nThis means to continuously improve and be the best at our craft, both within our area of expertise and as leaders. We learn from the best, encourage those who strive to excel, and help our teams achieve higher standards.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-section-content>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-section>\n\n\n\n\n
