Cultural and Behavioral Norms:

1. Hospitality and Kindness: Consistently embody a spirit of hospitality, being prompt, responsive, and specific in all interactions. This includes speaking hard truths and facing reality with kindness, prioritizing being of service over being merely “nice.   
2.  Definition of Hospitality: At its core, PowerShift Ecosystem is a hospitality provider.  As such, all Powershifters endeavor to exemplify the art of hosting by delivering world-class hospitality in all manner of interactions.Hospitality, for this Agreement, is defined as the felt sense associated with a concrete action or style of communication.  When delivered well, the action or speech conveys to the receiver a sense of “being seen” or “being heard.”  Hospitality can be further defined as communication and service that is prompt, responsive, and specific, even if what’s being communicated is unpleasant.  Sometimes defined as “greeting a stranger in a strange land“ every Powershifter shall strive to take a stance of welcoming energy toward one another and all PowerShift Ecosystem’ stakeholders.  As such, each Powershifter agrees to be as prompt as possible when responding to both positive and negative situations.

   To be clear, hospitality, or the art of hosting, is about being of service.  It is not simply about being “nice” but rather “kind.” Kindness speaks hard truths and ruthlessly faces reality.  Kindness is not merely telling our stakeholders (or even ourselves) what they or we want to hear.  Instead, it is always about speaking or acting in service of Purpose, come what may.  All Powershifters agree to strive toward kindness even over being nice.

   Similar to an Association Agreement, as a ROLE, we each agree to take a stance of hospitality when interacting with each other, our role work, and our stakeholders.  

3. Transparency and Openness: Maintain transparency in actions and decisions, openly sharing thoughts and feedback in a constructive manner.
4. Respect for Individual Differences: Honor individual autonomy and differences, participating in practices that enhance understanding of diverse perspectives.
5. Curiosity and Appreciative Inquiry in Tensions: Approach interpersonal tensions with a stance of appreciative inquiry, acknowledging efforts aligned with both Individual Purpose and the Enterprise’s Current Purpose.
