In times like these.

Companies like to measure how we perform under pressure and use that as indication about who we are, what we’re capable of, and what we deserve.

Especially in times like these.

I also think it’s important we observe how companies show up under pressure, to see what it says about them and their character.

Especially in times like these.

It’s easy to claim a wholesome culture and ambitious values during times of ease. But culture and values, while adaptive, are also supposed to establish a baseline for times both calm and trying.

It’s hard to keep up the promise of your culture and your values when things start to get tough. But that’s why we establish our shared culture and shared values in the first place; to help us through times like these.

逆水行舟，不进则退.
[Life is like rowing a boat upstream, if you ain't going forward, you're falling behind.]

Especially in times like these.
