Drivers have a bias toward action. They get stuff done, are self motivated, and strive to move the needle at all times. If you’re not a driver, then SKYCATCHFIRE is not the right fit for you.
| A driver motivates and energizes others. | A passenger waits for inspiration or requests to be motivated by others. |
|---|
How do we motivate our employees? We hire people who are motivated.
| A driver is relentlessly resourceful and acts like an owner. | A passenger finds excuses and is often "blocked" instead of taking full ownership to make a way. |
|---|
A driver delivers despite the challenges, roadblocks, and constraints. They know how to solve problems while not letting setbacks and failures stop them.
| A driver raises the bar proactively and often. | A passenger believes it's not their responsibility to push initiatives all the way across the finish line. |
|---|
Without prompting, drivers come up with new ideas to make things better, help others improve, and provide constructive feedback across the board. They are slow to announce problems and quick to propose solutions when they see something that could be done better.
| A driver consistently delivers great outcomes regardless of challenges. They’re constantly looking for ways to improve all aspects of the business and create more value for our clients. | A passenger just shows up and puts in time without thinking how they can have a larger impact on the company. They're told what to do and they just do it. |
|---|
Drivers consistently deliver great outcomes to increase customer satisfaction, attract more drivers, launch projects that make an impact, ship quality code to production, etc.
| A driver is excited about the work we’re doing and has a sense of urgency about their mission to move us forward as a company. | A passenger does the bare minimum and lacks general urgency. They say, "I'll just do this tomorrow" or "I'll wait until someone asks." |
|---|
Drivers are self motivated to finish. They know their tasks are part of a bigger initiative and are always on board to see the whole thing through to the end.
| A driver says things like, "let's try it out!" They look at problems through the lens of opportunity and thrive when challenged. | A passenger says things like, "that's impossible" or "we've always done it this way". |

We celebrate a bias toward action. Drivers try things until they find a way forward.
