At Fundnel, we encourage people to speak their mind. I welcome opposing views because this can lead to creative solutions for achieving our goals. However, we make sure that our culture never becomes aggressive in a way that harms the team’s morale. We want people to challenge ideas but not put each other down.
Knowing that I have limited energy and attention span in a day, I’m very disciplined about prioritising what I focus on at work. So every morning, I identify the most important items on my to do list and simply make sure I complete each of them well.
