We are a Self-Managed Organization and these are 3 capabilities that make people successful in an organization like ours:

• Agency & Initiative: “I have within me the will to initiate action and follow through my plan with my own efforts.” (Instead of “I rely almost exclusively on the authority of others to direct me / my actions”.)
• Accountability:  “I am accountable for the outcomes of my actions, and what happens to me”. (Instead of “I see my actions determined by others”).
• Scope of Considering (System Thinking): “I consider the effects of my actions on other peers, teams and Vizzuality”. (Instead of “When making decisions about my work/growth, I just think of myself”).
