Meet Urban Company | The Founders

Hi, my name is Abby Raj and I'm one of the co-

founders

of Urban Clap. Today I will talk to you about one of its very important cultural pillars, which is property. Ownership comes from an interesting word, owner and owners for those who don't work. every other person is self-employed so you know let me give you an example think of me as the owner of

urban

clap every morning when I wake up no one tells me what to do if I decide I don't want to go to work I don't I'm not going to work well , so the interesting question that arises is why do I make the effort to go to work?

Why do I force myself to run to the office every day? And when you start asking that question, do you know why? Doing what we do regardless of whether someone asks us to or not, you begin to appreciate the meaning of world ownership, ownership is really about taking charge of whatever works for you, what you are given, or who you are. responsible and think about it, end it. comes the conceptualization of the problem, solve the problem until you reach the action steps and the next steps after the action. This is, you know, generally a very disturbing thing, especially for young people in that career because throughout our education, in our school of education, etc., we have been molded in such a way that we are asked to follow tasks , so we are given a list of tasks and if we complete them, then we know that we have done a good job, for example, in school, if you know, you get a certain percentage. of certain grades then you know you are a good school, however this completely changes once you own something because no one tells the owners what you know so no one hands over a list of tasks to an order and tells them He says to complete that list of tasks. which will lead to having done a good job, so it's really up to the owner to decide what are the set of things that need to be prioritized, what are the efforts that need to be made and made and what are the next steps and To that extent, the owners They really charge for results and not for efforts and we really keep this philosophy at the center of everything we do and it overlays the concept of ownership.

We believe that every intelligent individual does not want to work for someone, he wants to work for himself. and so we give them a lot of freedom, we allow them to completely own any workflow or any area or function that they're responsible for and then it's up to them, you know that feeling when you want something really, really bad, it's the most important in your life and you are willing to push yourself to the limit. Turn the world upside down if necessary to reach your goal. That feeling is hostile. It is the strength that belief gives you.

The trust. Ideas under pressure to solve. tough problems at Urban Clapham we bring our hustle to work every day as a

company

, as a team and as individuals, and this isn't just about being aggressive or working hard, it's about finding the smartest, most practical and meaningful solutions to your work problems and your business. goals but when that is not enough when it comes to effort we give it our all sometimes as a

company

all the teams come together to work on a common problem if you start important for the company but we achieve it this is how acid one of the most crucial The elements in the success of an organization are the element of reimagination, just like any other organization or any other living organism, we as Urban Clap need a mechanism, a way to constantly question ourselves, constantly innovate and that is really where the imagination plays a role. what we as an organization should use this is what we should embody by questioning what we are doing, by constantly thinking about what we are going to do next and this is our self-assessment.

Okay, this plays an important role in our growth to really fulfill the purpose that We exist for that, we are here at Urban Flap or a very young organization and every family member, every teammate here is really responsible for driving the growth of how they are contributing to the broader purpose. I think in itself that innovation that they bring. to the table that the responsibility to grow is what reimagine basic truly embodies is another of our strong core values, simply put, it really helps us focus on what's important, it really helps us cut through the clutter when it comes to rights of the workflow. which is actually essentially a way of working, a way of living for us, a vision of Urban Flap, we strongly believe in keeping things simple, we strongly believe in keeping things very direct and to the point and this for any teammate It becomes a pretty important way of making decisions. it's really where you individually, this is really where each person owns their work, finishes their workflow and the way they start or is there a way they're expected to start prioritizing by asking themselves, hey, is this the right thing to do? ? the ten things I have are these, the things that move the needle, this is going to move the needle by 80% or is it a marginal use case, okay and essentially, so you're in an

urban

trap, keep the Basic things, keeping things simple, really helps us move fast and really helps us fight for what's right.

What we believe in. The reason why reinventing is a very important part of our culture is because this is our mechanism to truly Reno eight. It is our mechanism to grow the team. The young urban Israeli applauds. We have a fairly young team and therefore it is very important that each person as part of this family really innovates in terms of their domain, in terms of what they are trying to do, it is really the ability of each of us to question what they are doing to find new and better ways to achieve the same goal to step back and see what else could be done and that is essentially epitomized by a core cultural value called reimagining yourself.
