CB Insights Leadership Principles

At CB Insights, everyone is expected to be a leader. These leadership principles are like an operating system for our culture. Use the principles as a practical guide to making decisions.
We are what we repeatedly do. By living the principles outlined below, we will build an outstanding company and do insanely great work.

• Solve customer problems.It’s our highest calling. Designing a product? Start from the customer problem it solves. Updating our sales process? Flip it around, and simplify the customer buying process.
• Think BIG! Start small. Great changes start with a first step. Find it. Take it. Build a system around what works. This is the secret to bringing a vision to life.
• Go and see with your own eyes. Meet the customer, use the product, talk to the field. Great systems aren’t built from afar.
• Priorities: Choose one. Leaders give the gift of clarity. They find the most important thing and do it. Max power. Top speed.
• Bureaucracy. May the best ideas and execution win.
• Complexity. Leaders use frameworks and systems to simplify.
• No commitment. Leaders don’t compromise just to get along. Debate. Disagree. But once a decision is made, commit.
• Leaving what’s important unsaid or undone. No “circling back.”
• Data informs. Insight transforms. Pull the thread. Ask why. Leaders are curious. They use what they learn to create clarity.
• Insist on excellence. Leaders set high standards and overcome obstacles. They do the kind of work they’re excited to share with the world.
• Live off the land. Leaders creatively use resources already available to them – especially AI – to execute and automate their work.
• Good judgment. Leaders have it. Where it comes from: insight, listening, first-hand experience. How to apply it: carefully on big, hard to reverse decisions. Swiftly on limited, easy to reverse ones.
• Help others.Leaders know we’re building this together.
