1.4 Values of Pine Labs

At Pine Labs, our culture is guided by the principle that 'Every Day is Game Day'. This ethos is broken down into six core values that define our approach to work, innovation, and leadership.

• Take the shot: Decide fast, deliver right: This value reflects a mandate for agile execution, where product managers are empowered to make rapid, data-informed decisions and ship features without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.
• Be the sherpa: Lead your crew on every expedition: This speaks to the product manager's role of leading through influence, aligning the entire cross-functional team—engineering, design, sales—around a shared product vision and clearing obstacles along the way.
• Be the CEO of what you do: You own it. Make it happen: This directly invokes the classic "PM as CEO of the product" mindset, emphasizing total ownership and accountability for a product's success from discovery to delivery and beyond.
• Care with tough love: Empower each other with trust, respect and openness: From a product perspective, this is the core of effective stakeholder management: being able to say "no" to feature requests while transparently explaining the rationale, fostering a culture of open debate to build the best product.
