Our Mantra
At Gen we have a mantra which is to be Bold, Agile and to deliver Accelerated Growth, this focuses our efforts and defines the way in which we will deliver to the market.
Our Spirit
Our spirit, makes us unique, binds us together and sits at the very essence of who we are and how we ‘show’ up.
Our fear of failure is mitigated by a thirst for positive disruption.
We demonstrate intellectual humility – we can admit we are wrong and may change our options often, when new information or insights come to hand.
We value talent, skill & knowledge but prize agility and adaptability above all else.
We are optimists believing that we can and we will always find a way…..mindset matters.
Our Drivers
We are motivated and driven by:
An entrepreneurial spirit and desire to be inventive and free from tight organizational constraints.
A desire to learn and grow, to push and challenge ourselves and to test the limits of our potential.
To attempt the extraordinary, motivated to achieve even in the face of set back or obstacle.
To collaborate, pursuing shared rather than individual goals, believing that we do our best work when we default to ‘open’ rather than ‘closed’.
Playing a role on the global stage, leading and influencing the future of our industry and sector and by deeply understanding the needs of our clients.
Leadership at Gen
Leadership at Gen is not based on principles of power and control but rather on encouraging self-determination, experimentation and creativity. Our leaders actively:
Encourage experimentation: The role of a leader is not to reduce risks or prevent failures, but to create an environment resilient enough to take these risks and handle the missteps.
Instill trust: Silos are the enemy of agility, to be truly agile requires foundations built on trust, discipline and single-minded focus, collaboration and transparency are essential to success.
Cultivate diversity of thought: Believe that different views, healthy debate and respectful conflict are good things, they are the catalysts for creativity & will fuel our innovation
