About Us

A dream team is one in which all of your teammates are doing extraordinary work.

Our version in a dream team: Consist of talented people who are excited to pursue ambitious shared goals.

On our dream team we encourage collaboration, share information and discourage politics.

There’s lots of love and there are demanding peers. It’s exhilarating and how we learn the most, do our best work, improve the fastest and have the most fun.

We model ourselves on being a professional sports team, not a family. A family is about unconditional love.

A dream team is about pushing yourself to be the best possible teammate, caring intensely about your team, and knowing that you may not be on the team forever. Dream teams are about performance, not seniority or tenure.

It is up to the leaders to ensure that every player is amazing at their position, plays effectively and is given new opportunities to develop.

 

That’s how we keep winning the championship.

Unlike a sports team, as iAM grows, the number of players also grows.

We work to foster players from the development leagues so they can become the stars of tomorrow.

 

Loyalty and performance is great as a stabilizer. Team members with a strong track record at iAM get leeway if their performance takes a temporary dip, or if they are in a new role.

Similarly, we want team members to stick with iAM through any short term dips iAM may have.

That said, we don’t believe in long-term allegiance to a stagnant group, or to an only-adequately-performing team members.

On our dream team, there are no brilliant jerks as they are detrimental to great teamwork.

We insist on decent human interactions, no matter how brilliant someone may be.

When highly capable people work together well, they inspire each other to be more creative, more productive and ultimately more successful as a team than they could be individually.

 

Dream teams are not right for everyone.

Some people prefer job security, and choose to work at companies that are more focused on stability and seniority, and less rigorous about performance management. Our model works best for people who value excellence and the opportunities it provides.

Team Bonding

We do not seek to preserve our culture—we seek to improve it.

Every new team member helps to shape and evolve the culture so we find new ways to accomplish more together.

We are learning faster than ever, because we have more dedicated people with more diverse perspectives working to excel as the dream team.

That cultural excellence propels our business excellence, which increases stakeholders satisfaction and in turn propels our long term growth.

It’s how we (ordinarily people) build an extraordinarily successful organization.
