# Menlo is a Pro Sports Team
|
||
|
||
> "First, you need to learn how to play. You need 2-3 years together to learn how to play with each other." — [Nikola Jokić](https://www.reddit.com/r/NBASpurs/comments/1cdscti/wise_words_from_jokic_first_you_need_to_learn_how/)
|
||
|
||
Menlo is a sports team, not unlike a NBA team or a NFL team. We focus on putting the best players on the court, focusing on their 1% strengths, and building a team that can win together.
|
||
|
||
## Team vs. Family
|
||
|
||
We learn the best principles from [Netflix Culture Deck](https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/culture-1798664/1798664):
|
||
|
||
- We operate like a pro sports team
|
||
- There are limited spots on every team — every roster spot counts
|
||
- We hire, develop and cut smartly
|
||
|
||
## Continuity
|
||
|
||
However, we balance this with our belief in Continuity and Stability:
|
||
|
||
- Teams with psychological safety take better, long-term risks
|
||
- Teams need 2–3 years to truly gel
|
||
- Continuity matters; balance change carefully
|
||
- Cohesive teams outperform constant reshuffles
|
||
- Time builds trust, speed, and better decisions |
