CouchSurfingNetwork
From the CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.
The CouchSurfingNetwork is a team to balance out the Leadership Team.
We believe in:
- Transparency and clarity
- Communication
- Self-organization
- Networking
We don't believe in:
- Spreading marketing language
- Top-down management strategies
- Corporate or governmental ideas
Hence we disagree with some ways the CS Leadership Team is set up, and we dissent from established policy.
We think these qualities are very important for any successful virtual team:
- Ability for respectful conflict resolution through confrontation rather than avoidance
- Ability for open, direct and sincere dialogue with the community
- Ability to take in and reflect upon constructive criticism and act on it accordingly
- Ability to operate in a multi-cultural environment, actively realizing the mission of intercultural understanding in accepting varying communication styles and other differences stemming from diverse cultural backgrounds
- Ability to operate in a largely virtual organization
