      -Done is better than perfect attitude

      -Agressive and competitive mentality

      -Voracious learners

      -Resilient to failure and always looking to improve

      -Opinions and ideas on how to do things better

      -Bias towards action

      -Impact driven

      Sounds like a good set of value except:

      Agressive and competitive mentality

      Nothing wrong with being competitive but a lot companies work off a person with the strongest personality wins. And it seems like the rudest person makes it to the top.(Not saying that's your company.)
