~Rules of the Garage~

Posted March 24, 2000



"The Rules of the Garage signify a new way of engaging with each other, a new way of cooperating. I believe these rules represent the essence of who we are and how we will work together in the future."

Carly Fiorina
The Rules of the Garage:

Believe you can change the world.
Work quickly, keep the tools unlocked, work whenever.
Know when to work alone and when to work together
Share - tools, ideas. Trust your colleagues.
No politics. No bureaucracy. (These are ridiculous in a garage.)
The customer defines a job well done.
Radical ideas are not bad ideas.
Invent different ways of working.
Make a contribution every day. If it doesn't contribute, it doesn't leave the garage.
Believe that together we can do anything.
Invent.
