## Our management culture at Asana

At Asana, we [value](https://asana.com/about) transparency, balance, working together as peers, and investing in each other, and we try to apply these values to our management culture. We think that good management requires balance. We try to give people the freedom they need to contribute at their full potential, while also providing the support that helps them grow to become even more capable.

Our approach is “distributed responsibility,” exemplified by our [AoR (Area of Responsibility) program](http://www.quora.com/Asana/What-is-an-AoR-at-Asana). Instead of having all decisions flow through the management hierarchy, we go out of our way to distribute them as evenly as possible across all employees. At the same time, our approach emphasizes personal growth, especially through mentorship. I believe the most important contribution of a manager is to serve their reports by unblocking them, mentoring them, and pointing them in a direction that best serves their needs and the priorities of the organization. I explained our approach more in a [blog post](https://medium.com/on-startups/c01c6846e06e) I posted today on Medium.

We’d like to share our [internal document](https://docs.google.com/a/asana.com/document/d/1Nebx9nOGc9LB4QbM4UWwa69npQ1enPtMOMHMQ9daHTU/edit#heading=h.ez8nobclqno) that outlines the beliefs and practices that help inform our management culture at Asana. Our goals for sharing this document are to start a conversation about management culture and inspire other companies to share their own thinking. We’d love to hear your thoughts on management culture in the comments.

지난해 기업들은 하이브리드 형태의 업무가 팀의 공통된 목표 달성에 미치는 영향을 직접 경험했습니다. 내부 조사에 따르면, 기업에서 근무하는 직원들은 업무 시간의 55%를 앱과 툴 사이를 전환하는 데 소요하고 있어 업무가 누락되고, 작업을 마무리하지 못하고, 마일스톤을 달성하지 못하는 것으로 나타났습니다. 팀은 계속해서 ...
