“We believe culture outperforms everything. The most important treasure within the Zapata Technology team is our people because they live our company’s culture and represent our ability to support our customers in saving lives.” -Randall Zapata, President of Zapata Technology

Our practices, our beliefs, and our values comprise our culture and we identify each in these descriptions:

	We base our approach on facts and logic, emphasize what is possible, conceptualize new directions, and pioneer new concepts.
	We are results-oriented. We push each other for optimal solutions. The best idea wins at Zapata.  “People don’t want to buy a quarter-inch drill.  They want a quarter-inch hole” Theodore Levitt
	We discourage unproductive meetings and events that waste everyone’s time, and we are creative at avoiding them. We’d rather have competitive challenges to see who is the best, and we do (e.g. gaming, tennis, bowling, shooting, poker, racing, etc.).
	We have a top-down approach to management, which ensures our small teams can focus on the tasks at hand. Because of their perspective on projects, management is able to link teams and people when necessary. Management communicates requirements to key personnel and shifts resources to improve alignment and project flow.  We are a flat organization for communication where anyone is allowed to talk with anyone with ensuring the correct chain people are informed.
	We lead with solutions. Customers define mission success, and we use our expertise to determine and control the solution.
	We feel we are the best and cannot rely on a successor.
	We prefer being drama free. We focus on removing friction so we can get work done.
	We love 1-on-1 coaching and learning, and we do not necessarily like group learning because it is based on the assumption that the entire team needs instruction.
	We utilize incentives to reward top performers and set high standards. We focus on individual rewards, not group rewards. In our ladder rewards system, people compete for the next reward rather than everyone being rewarded at the same time.
	While we support the growth of team members, we seek and assume the highest level of competence and little need for direction. We are not followers. Team members may and are encouraged to compete with each other to excel. We consider learning from your mistakes to be a requirement, not an option.
