Mattthew Brauer: General ManagerHow I Participate in CS2Leadership Team members make strategic decisions for CouchSurfing and lead defined departments of volunteers who are entrusted to make tactical decisions for CouchSurfing. The members participate in dialogue and debate guided by the mission about vital issues and decisions facing the organization. Team members come from a range of perspectives, but each member has deep knowledge about some aspect of the organization and/or the environment in which it operates.CouchSurfing ExperienceAll over the world!PhilosophyOur purpose first and foremost is to serve the mission of CouchSurfing. We are committed to excellent service to the community, effective and regular communication, a transparent decision-making process, quality operations management, and accountability to our mission and membership.
The core values of the team are:
Focus. Our top priority is to achieve the mission of CouchSurfing and serve the volunteers and members. Focus on the mission means that CS resources (workforce, finances, etc.) are dedicated to projects that directly serve to achieve the mission. The mission serves as the main criterion for determining which undertakings to support.
Service. Leadership is dedication to the mission, the members and the project, and is inclusive in nature. We strive to to bring people together. We are representatives from the community and are open to voices from within the community. Leaders work closely with Ambassadors and volunteers to ensure that the needs of the members and the project are being met.

The leaders serve as navigators determining the course of the company and making the strategic decisions about the future of CS, taking into consideration input from Ambassadors and the community as a whole. We have defined a clear policy for the Leadership Team, which includes the requirements for
membership, a consensus decision-making process, policy for removal from the team, emergency provisions, public records and accountability. For more information on this policy, please see:

We are creating a peer-review system to insure leaders and volunteers meet high standards, are accountable for their actions, and are constantly challenged to grow and improve.
