We all come from different backgrounds, countries, upbringing etc that have their own values. In order for us to work good as a team and collaborate efficiently, we need to have a set of values and guidelines when it comes to working together, such as: diversity, communications, efficiency, results etc
Values are basically the foundation upon which a company and a team operates on. Without them, we would be working in an unbalanced, chaotic way, inefficient and frustrating for us and for others.
The values enables the team members and the individuals to complete their tasks without constant supervision, without the need to request approval from their manager and so on.
From my perspective, values are the first block of rules in a company, that will define how we work, collaborate and what expectations we have from each other, as colleagues and as a company.

  1. We need values because they create a certain set of “rules” which make onboarding new team members more efficient, and it’s also a way for setting and managing expectations. Values are especially important in a global company with employees all over the world, because they set a common ground for understanding and working with each other.

  2. Values help with decentralized decision making because by having a common set of “rules”, you as an employee do not need to go to managers in order to make decisions, you just follow the hierarchy of values and you will arrive at your answer.

  3. Because people are different in the sense that they come from different cultures, or different way of working, values are a way to set expectations and to have a common ground of interacting with each other, even though the cultures are completely different.

  1. We need values to direct our actions in alignment with our goals that ultimately fit into our moral compass and overall vision. Values are what create groups of people who share certain shared interests.
  2. Decentralized decision making in web 3.0 is driven by a similar set of shared values that individuals and organizations have. Moralis operates on a level of decentralization that empowers individuals to work and create from anywhere in the world.
  3. Due to people coming from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures, it is crucial to understand the differences among people and how to be mindful, respectful, and conscientious of those differences. Collaboration with people of all backgrounds is synonymous with the decentralized structure and it is very important to be mindful of.

Understanding values helps to make collaborative work to be easier and more comfortable for all

When decentralized decision making is required understanding values within the dynamic group allows for decisions to be made for the good of the team when made with the understood values of the team

Collaboration with values and how those values are viewed across culture, diversity as they are applied across a professional network, avoid resentment, misunderstanding and confusion.

  1. Values are needed to get the Team on the same level like each other when it comes to working on same project. These kind of guidelines ensure that everybody is familar with the structures and behaviours.

  2. Values make it possible to interact in a decentralised way. Everyone knows where to get the core guidlines, so it’s also possible to communicate and operate on a high intern standard.

  3. Values play a crucial role in fostering collaboration across cultures and professional backgrounds by providing a common ground for understanding and interaction.

We need values so that many people from different backgrounds and with different history and experience can cooperate to improve the careers of the team members as well as the individuals.

Values help with decentralized decision making by allowing faster progression and more open-mindedness to occur within the group. If we were held back by a chain of command on every decision, the world of Web3 would evolve faster than we could keep up. I really agree and am excited about the concept of decentralized decision making, especially because it gives the freedom for ideas to flourish without the reputation of the individual in the company being much of a factor as to if they are listened to or not. Allowing a more equal breeding ground for ideas from many sources will propel this business forward. What an innovative idea! I really enjoy that concept and I am excited to have my voice heard in this community.

If no negative feedback to the boss was allowed, we would have a mob led by a blind man.
