Carmichael & Russ Capital: Our Core Values
We are dedicated to cultivating a culture that empowers our team members to thrive, innovate, and lead.
Our core values are the foundation of our identity and guide every aspect of our operations. We believe in fostering an environment that not only attracts but also nurtures talent passionate about making a significant impact.
Below are our core values that articulate the environment team members can expect and the ethos they are encouraged to embody:
- Need-to-Know Attitude: We value a “need-to-know” attitude, emphasizing the importance of being continuous learners. Understanding our clients, users, teams, and leaders deeply enhances our collective success and fosters a supportive environment for everyone.
- No Close Games: Winning is our aim, not for the sake of winning itself, but to celebrate our dedication to excellence. We take pride in our achievements and constantly seek to surpass our standards, knowing well that victory comes from hard work and integrity, not just competition.
- Team Above Individual: The collective “Us, They, and We” far outweighs the individual “I and Me.” Our strength lies in unity, and our language reflects this principle. Success is a shared journey, and every member’s contribution is valued equally.
- A Team of Leaders: Leadership is distinct from management and is a trait we encourage in all team members. We believe in the power of leading by example, where everyone is a leader in their own right, capable of inspiring and guiding others.
- Knowledge Sharing: “No one knows everything” is a principle we live by. Every team member, irrespective of their title, is encouraged to share their insights and solutions. We value the diversity of knowledge and experiences within our team.
- Do the Right Thing: Doing the right thing is inherent to our culture. Our actions are guided by integrity and ethical standards, not for recognition, but because it’s the right thing to do.
- Why Not You: “Why not you?” is a question we pose to every team member. We believe in the potential of our people, and we want them to see it too. Confidence in one’s abilities and contributions is key to individual and collective growth.
- Foster a Helping Environment: Daily acts of kindness, whether it’s sharing a file or giving advice, are essential. We believe that no act of help is too small, and such actions contribute to a supportive and collaborative culture.
- We Represent Each Other: We understand that our team members’ reputations precede them, reflecting on the entire company. Excellence in personal conduct is paramount, as it enhances our collective reputation.
- Preparation as the Key: We advocate over-preparation to alleviate pressure. Being thoroughly prepared for any situation instills confidence and ensures excellence in execution.
- Open Communication: Keeping secrets, especially those that can impact our work, is discouraged. We promote an environment where speaking up about issues and changes is not only accepted but expected.
- Celebrate Innovation: Innovation, whether in technology, communication, or processes, is crucial for our continued success. We encourage creativity and the pursuit of efficiency and effectiveness in all our endeavors.
These core values are not just words; they are the essence of our corporate identity and the blueprint for our actions. We are on a mission to attract individuals who resonate with these values, ready to contribute to our collective success and grow with us.
Join us, and let’s shape the future together.
