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 — we take initiative aligned with this mission.
2. How We Work
A. Proactive Ownership (“알아서 움직이는 문화”)
We expect every team member to:
•
Identify problems before being asked
•
Propose solutions, not wait for direction
•
Move projects forward independently
•
Ask “What is the highest-impact thing I can do right now?”
•
Communicate progress clearly and consistently
Ownership = you care about outcomes, not just tasks.
B. Find Work, Don’t Wait for Work (“지시하지 않는 업무를 찾아서 하는 조직”)
At ibGuru, nobody sits idle waiting for instructions.
Instead:
•
You explore new opportunities
•
You refine existing processes
•
You create ideas that push the product forward
•
You suggest experiments
•
You actively remove bottlenecks
Every person is an engine for innovation.
C. KPI-Based Work, Not Time-Based Work
We don’t evaluate:
•
How long you sat at your desk
•
How many hours you worked
•
Whether you asked for permission
We evaluate:
•
Did you move the needle?
•
Did your work deliver measurable impact?
•
Did you finish high-value tasks without being chased?
Autonomy is earned through responsibility.
D. Clarity Over Micromanagement
Founders define:
•
Mission
•
Direction
•
Priorities
•
KPIs
Team members decide:
•
How to execute
•
What tools to use
•
What experiments to run
This reduces micromanagement naturally.
E. Transparent and Direct Communication
We prefer:
•
Honest conversations
•
Fast feedback loops
•
No politics
•
No passive waiting
•
No ambiguity
If something is unclear, you ask.
If something is wrong, you speak up.
