We've just begun a new fiscal year here at Microsoft. That means a lot of folks - like myself - are scurrying to reflect and write down what we accomplished this past year.

But mostly, like all "new years", it is about starting a new, wiping the slate clean and forgiving all past transgressions :)

In the spirit of reflection, personal commitment setting and coolness, here are our company wide values:

  • Integrity and Honesty
  • Open and Respectful - with others and dedicated to making them better
  • Big Challenges - willing to take on and see them through
  • Passion - for customers, partners and technology
  • Accountable - for commitments, results and quality
  • Self-critical - questioning and committed to personal excellence and self improvement

Pretty cool; Happy New Year!
