Hello
!
@flinc, @m_ic
Why we exist (our vision)
@flinc, @m_ic
– Vision flinc-Team
“flinc is established as new means of transportation”
@flinc, @m_ic
– Mission / Core purpose flinc-Team
“We create mobility through existing resources”
@flinc, @m_ic
@flinc, @m_ic
When you’re good in communicating your vision, people will follow you with passion. Passionate people are more motivated. More motivation means more happiness. Happy
people achieve more!
@flinc, @m_ic
How we hire
@flinc, @m_ic
How we hire
- Wrong hiring is the top 1 opportunity to fuck up your company!
- A people hire A people, B people hire C people..
- Team hires team, managers only recommend.
- Smaller world class teams are better than large teams.

“4 Uhr Bier” :)
Core value 1: Live family
Core value 2: Be adventurous
Core value 3: Be excellent
Core value 4: Learn from failure
Core value 5: Make others successful
@flinc, @m_ic
These 5 values are the basis of our company culture. They give us boundaries and make clear which
behaviour is appreciated and what gets criticised. They show us what is right and what is wrong.
@flinc, @m_ic

Our Core Values & Principles
We had a gap between our 10 year goal (vision) and two week goals. That’s why we needed an additional layer: OKRs (Objective and Key Results)
@flinc, @m_ic
How we set goals- Quarterly! Cascaded: company - team - personal.
- 100% transparent.
- Inspiring and ambitious objectives
- Failure welcome! (as long as we learn from mistakes).
- Not coupled to bonuses!!
- Part of our weekly meetings.
- Quarterly 1on1s.
@flinc, @m_ic
How we make decisions
@flinc, @m_ic
How we make decisions
- Everything is urgent. But what is important?
- Common truth: Customer happiness is key.
- Identify core problems (e.g. through customer experience mapping).
- Only work on the biggest problems and the biggest opportunities.

How we fire
@flinc, @m_ic
How we fire
“Which of my people, if they told me they were leaving
for a similar job at a peer company, would I fight hard to keep at flinc?”
Managers, if an employee is not on your list, give him better feedback (don’t fire him)!
@flinc, @m_ic
Final thoughts
@flinc, @m_ic
How I told you it is How it really is
The perfect world is not realistic. Actually we don’t want it, as it means we are standing still.
We need conflicts, as long as they make us better and are constructive. This is up to you!
@flinc, @m_ic
Shit Detector Problem Solver
“The coffee tastes awful!” “The coffee tastes awful - I already ordered some new beans. Let me know what you think.
@flinc, @m_ic
Key Takeaways
- Problems and conflicts are normal, they will never end.
- Keep asking “how can we become better?”
- Take ownership and solve problems!
- —> become a learning organisation
