About Us | Core Values

---

Bear true faith and allegiance to the safety of others and your teammates. Bearing true faith and allegiance is a matter of believing in and devoting yourself to something bigger than yourself.  It is one who supports the leadership and stands up for fellow teammates.  By doing your share, you show your loyalty to your team and others.

Fulfill your obligations. Doing your duty means more than carrying out your assigned tasks. Duty is being able to accomplish tasks as part of a team. Our work is a complex combination of missions, tasks, and responsibilities--all in constant motion. Our work entails building one assignment onto another. Resisting the temptation to take "shortcuts" that might undermine the integrity of the final product.

Treat people as they should be treated.  In our code, we pledge to "treat others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same." Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. And self-respect is a vital ingredient with our Core Value of respect, which results from knowing you have put forth your best effort. Paladin is one team and each of us has something to contribute.

Put the welfare of others before your own.  Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving to keep others safe from evil, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how that teammate can add to the effort.
