The Core Values

of the

Lead with Extreme Ownership

“All responsibility rests with the leader.  The leader must own everything in his or her world.  There is no one else to blame. The leader must acknowledge mistakes and admit failures, take ownership of them, and develop a plan to win.” -From Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

Everyone on the team is a leader.  We:

• Plan, Prep, and Create Healthy Habit.  We do not wing it. We plan and prep and because of the hard, dedicated work we put in behind the scenes, we make it all look easy and seamless.

• Support each other and the community.  We are not looking for others to blame.  It is up to us, together, to build the best community in Austin.  It doesn’t matter if it’s part of our individual jobs, we step-up to help.

• When making hard decisions, we are decisive.  We understand that not deciding is worse than making the wrong choice.   All decisions are made with our core values and the community’s best interest at heart.

• When communicating to our members, instructions and workouts should be kept simple.  If someone doesn’t understand, we need to do a better job of communicating.

• Prioritize and Execute.  In context of the big picture of the business or correcting a movement fault with a member, we do not try and tackle every issue at once.  We prioritize the most important and we get it done before moving on to the next issue.

• Everyone in the community must understand the vision and goals of the community. Coaches are empowered to make decisions and every person in the community must understand not just what to do, but why they are doing it.

• Lead up and Down the Chain of Command. We take ownership of the entire CrossFit City Limits community and our role in it.  We take responsibility for leading everyone in our world, ourselves, members, other coaches, and leadership alike. If someone isn’t doing what we want or need them to do, we look in a mirror first and determine what we can do to better enable this.  We don’t ask our leader what we should do, we tell them what we are going to do and get feedback.

We Provide Constant Feedback with Candor & Compassion
