(Culture) Mission-Driven, Not Task-Driven

1. Our Core Working Philosophy

Everyone works based on the mission:
Make high-quality secondary education globally accessible, affordable, and enjoyable through AI-native learning.
We don’t wait for instructions β€” we take initiative aligned with this mission.

2. How We Work

πŸ”₯ A. Proactive Ownership (β€œμ•Œμ•„μ„œ μ›€μ§μ΄λŠ” 문화”)

We expect every team member to:
β€’
Identify problems before being asked
β€’
Propose solutions, not wait for direction
β€’
Move projects forward independently
β€’
Ask β€œWhat is the highest-impact thing I can do right now?”
β€’
Communicate progress clearly and consistently
Ownership = you care about outcomes, not just tasks.

πŸ” B. Find Work, Don’t Wait for Work (β€œμ§€μ‹œν•˜μ§€ μ•ŠλŠ” 업무λ₯Ό μ°Ύμ•„μ„œ ν•˜λŠ” 쑰직”)

At ibGuru, nobody sits idle waiting for instructions.
Instead:
β€’
You explore new opportunities
β€’
You refine existing processes
β€’
You create ideas that push the product forward
β€’
You suggest experiments
β€’
You actively remove bottlenecks
Every person is an engine for innovation.

πŸ“Œ C. KPI-Based Work, Not Time-Based Work

We don’t evaluate:
β€’
How long you sat at your desk
β€’
How many hours you worked
β€’
Whether you asked for permission
We evaluate:
β€’
Did you move the needle?
β€’
Did your work deliver measurable impact?
β€’
Did you finish high-value tasks without being chased?
Autonomy is earned through responsibility.

🧭 D. Clarity Over Micromanagement

Founders define:
β€’
Mission
β€’
Direction
β€’
Priorities
β€’
KPIs
Team members decide:
β€’
How to execute
β€’
What tools to use
β€’
What experiments to run
This reduces micromanagement naturally.

πŸ’¬ E. Transparent and Direct Communication

We prefer:
β€’
Honest conversations
β€’
Fast feedback loops
β€’
No politics
β€’
No passive waiting
β€’
No ambiguity
If something is unclear, you ask.
If something is wrong, you speak up.
