The way
we work

We believe everyone in the Muse Group team is a leader. That's why our core philosophy is based on our leadership principles.

Leaders focus on daily outcomes. Each day is a small life. Speed and accuracy in planning are the foundation of trust.

We consciously embrace imperfection in work for the sake of speed. Perfectionism slows progress, so it’s essential to move quickly and try new things.

Radical responsibility means taking personal accountability for every aspect of personal and team work, including problems and their solutions. It shifts focus from "we" to "I," where I take full responsibility for the result without blaming external circumstances or other people.

Leaders focus on daily outcomes. Each day is a small life. Speed and accuracy in planning are the foundation of trust.

Follow the principles of persistence and strive for the best results.

Ask for help when needed and offer it to others.

Embrace Venus

Be specific. Trust. Take action.

Deep dive

Know where the line is

Follow the principles of interaction

Focus on the essentials

Respect Others. Don't be an asshole
