MY REFLECTIONS ON ANDELA'S EPIC VALUES

In just a few years Andela existed it has proven to be the best company in the world every person who needs to sharpen skills in technology dreams to work. today am going to share with you the reason behind their success.

what is their mission?
is to advance human potential by powering today's teams and investing in tomorrow's leaders. Andela also has its EPIC values which have helped it to become what it is today.

what is EPIC?

E stands for EXCELLENCE:

EXCELLENCE!! you can call it again distinction, quality, superiority, brilliance, greatness, value, worth, etc.
without even saying many things you can tell from the meaning of this word in Andela they want people to be excellent in everything they do, like when writing code they want that you write code of the highest quality and not just to work just to finish but to deliver excellent work.

someone who want to be excellent works very hard to the best of his/her abilities and he doesn't give up easily even when they are many reasons to do so, and you always strive for improvement even if you might fail but you take it as a lesson.

here are 6 keys of excellence:
. Learn from your mistakes.
. speak honestly and kind
. Make your dreams happen
. Take responsibility for action
. Be willing to do things differently
. Live your best life

P stands for PASSION:

PASSION is a strong desire that can get you to do amazing things, it is an emotion to be acted upon, is the fuel in the fire of action when you have passion for something, you love it even when you hate it. and also passion is that love you have for something which motivates you to never stop until you achieve what you want.
Personally, my reflection on this value is that when you are passionate about something you strive to improve, and you inspire those around you and also you work hard.

I stand for INTEGRITY:

INTEGRITY you can call it as well righteousness, fairness, sincerity, truthfulness, nobility, honor, and decency..etc. people with integrity are generally known as trustworthy, honest, and kind. This is the quality everyone should strive for. in Andela they want you to be this kind of a person even if its rare to find people like that but in Andela, they are there.

here are some tips which can help us to show integrity:

. Keep your word. if you want to establish a solid reputation with others you must deliver on your promises
. Keep your commitments
. Pay attention to your environment
. Stay focused
. Surround yourself with honest people
. Take responsibility
. Respect your employees

Integrity is about being honest in everything you do such us knowing the privacy of the company and not share with everyone who is not related. someone with integrity doesn't discriminate against people based on their background, race, country, or their skin color.

C stands for COLLABORATION:

Collaboration requires to respect others and always eager to help when you can, and when you collaborate you have to be honest and straightforward to your peers and you always try to make a better place where you are and a safe place to be.

Let me conclude by thanking ANDELA for their values because by having these values in life there is nothing you will not achieve.
