The spirit of the HighSide name is rooted in the challenges that are faced while rafting one of Colorado’s many rivers. Maneuvering through the kinds of challenges found on these rivers is akin to navigating the challenges faced in the modern business environment; You must be able to see the next obstacle coming, you cannot falter in the face of challenge, you must possess the appropriate technical expertise, and you must believe that teamwork is essential to success.
Honesty always, especially when it’s hard.
Finding the best solution to any problem we experience is dependent on full transparency.
Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.
We work hard every day to earn the trust of our partners and our team.
Accountability is for everyone and is to everyone.
We are all accountable to each other in one way or another. We live up to our accountability and we expect others to live up to theirs.
HighSide is one team.
We work swiftly as a team to solve any issues that arise. We are in this together.
Play to win.
We are in the game to succeed. We win by being better prepared, working harder, working smarter, and focusing on creating better outcomes for our stakeholders.
We are here to get it right. Not be right.
Ideas are always welcome – from everyone. The best idea always wins.
Humility in everything we do.
Leadership is a humble exercise. Humility builds trust, and trust builds teams.
