Qualifications: COMPETENCIES Cultural Second Mile The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth. Outsized benefits are realized in the second mile. Don’t Touch the Marshmallow The strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner. Abundance Mindset Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example – does a new “A” player on your team pose a threat (scarcity) or an opportunity to grow as a team? Skills Beat Credentials What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won’t get you anywhere at Protomet. That’s Hard…Good Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it’s possible, and we’re getting better at it. Functional High Standards: Expects personal and team performance to be nothing short of the best. Attention to Detail: Mistakes are encouraged but must perform world-class work consistently to succeed. Details matter. Humility: Low focus on self, confidence to admit mistakes, listens to others and an accurate (not over- or underestimated) sense of accomplishments and worth Mental Bandwidth: Will be tasked with managing multiple ongoing projects in a fast-paced culture. It’s not for everyone. Innovation: Practical intelligence, curiosity, and an aptitude for learning combined with the spirit of testing and change that leads to innovation Values and respects people as a servant leader No Gossip: Hand negatives up to leadership and positives to peers and below S#!t happens, but out of respect for others, leaders will not allow profanity to be a part of their daily interactions and conversations. #J-18808-Ljbffr
