CB Insights Leadership Principles
At CB Insights, everyone is expected to be a leader. These leadership principles are like an operating system for our culture. Use the principles as a practical guide to making decisions. Solve customer problems.
It’s our highest calling. Designing a product? Start from the customer problem it solves. Updating our sales process? Flip it around, and simplify the customer buying process. Think BIG! Start small.
Great changes start with a first step. Find it. Take it. Build a system around what works. This is the secret to bringing a vision to life. Go and see with your own eyes.
Meet the customer, use the product, talk to the field. Great systems aren’t built from afar. Priorities: Choose one.
Leaders give the gift of clarity. They find the most important thing and do it. Max power. Top speed. Bureaucracy.
May the best ideas and execution win. Complexity.
Leaders use frameworks and systems to simplify. No commitment.
Leaders don’t compromise just to get along. Debate. Disagree. But once a decision is made, commit. Leaving what’s important unsaid or undone.
No “circling back.” Data informs. Insight transforms.
Pull the thread. Ask why. Leaders are curious. They use what they learn to create clarity. Insist on excellence.
Leaders set high standards and overcome obstacles. They do the kind of work they’re excited to share with the world. Live off the land.
Leaders creatively use resources already available to them – especially AI – to execute and automate their work. Good judgment.
Leaders have it. Where it comes from: insight, listening, first-hand experience. How to apply it: carefully on big, hard to reverse decisions. Swiftly on limited, easy to reverse ones. Help others.
Leaders know we’re building this together.
