StoryBee Culture

We strive to hire the best. We value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, ownership, and collaboration.

 

Our core philosophy is team work. None of our achievement happened overnight; they all came with a great effort of teamwork and dedication. We are flexible, fun, stimulating, creative, collaborative and value independent thinking within team environment.

We expect everyone to give each other professional, constructive feedback within the organization on a continual basis. Leaders must demonstrate that we are all fallible and open to feedback. Learning fast and work motivated is a lasting effect from a positive working environment. We strive to maintain it. We build trust by being selfless in giving feedback to our colleagues, even if it is uncomfortable to do so.

Leadership Principles - Corporate Values

  • Consistency

    Exercise our Leadership Principles in every occasion to deliver consistent accountability and achieve coherent growth rate. We believe that success is about focusing on what needs to be done and following through, no matter the obstacles or hurdles. We create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results.

  • Ownership

    Everyone must own what they do. Everyone must think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term values for short-term results. Anyone in the company represents the company beyond just himself/herself. Never say “that is not my job.” Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.

  • Customer Obsession

    Everyone in the company is a customer of ours. Everyone must work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. We pay attention the market, and listen to our customers.

  • Social Impacts

    Everyone in the company must think about the social impacts of the decisions before making them. We are committed to deliver positive social impacts with our strength.

  • Think Green

    In this new world, both business and the environment can win. Being green is no longer a cost of doing business; it is a catalyst for innovation, new market opportunity, and wealth creation. We work under a farsighted program and innovative, creative solutions to address the environmental challenge.

  • Deliver Results

    We focus on the key inputs for our business and deliver the results with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, we rise to the occasion and never settle. Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention.

  • Diversity & Inclusion

    We learn more about diversity and inclusion each and every day, and we implement best practice around it. It is the key to our engagement with stakeholders.

  • Be Right, A Lot

    Exercise strong judgment and good instincts. We seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm our beliefs. We are never done learning and always seek to improve ourselves. We are always curious about new possibilities and stand ready to actions.

  • Innovate

    merely coming up with new ideas is not innovation; ideas must be implemented. Continuous improvement and innovation both make a contribution, a market impact or an internal improvement, but the difference between innovation and improvement is that the implementation of an innovative idea requires a significant modification of the company’s former routine. We are not afraid to make the right changes to innovate.
