Our Members come first
Simply put, without our members, theres no LinkedIn.
Everything we do is ultimately driven by our desire to
create value for our members. We encourage employees to know
and understand our members to ensure the long-term health
of the LinkedIn ecosystem

We manage compassionately by recognizing that people have experiencs
and perspectives that may differ from our own. By fostering trust among
members, customers, colleagues and partners, we all succeed.

We expect our employees to communicate with clarity and provide feedback
in a constructive way. There is a virtuous cycle associated with transparency:
The more we share whats working and whats not working, the more likely
were able to generate solutions to problems, leverage best demonstrated
practices, and ensure that every member of the team feels that this is their
company.

A key reason we believe LinkedIn has been successful is that we
encourage our team to take intelligent risks.
We strive to always maintain the start-up mentality on which the
company was founded. Not every risk we take will work out, so
its important to learn from those mistakes and then move on.
33. ACT LIKE AN OWNER
We expect our employees to act like owners with regard to every
decision they make, no matter how big or small.
Dont ask why The Company does something. Its Our Company
lets decide what were going to do about it.
