The consistent application of principles in daily behavior and decision making.

Take Ownership
If you messed up, own it .. then ask for help - and the first one to say “How can i help” should be the person next to you.
A Project Doesn’t Define Your Self Worth
If one let’s it, they get defensive, and defensiveness destroys trust.
You Really Need to Care
Everything about accountability disappears when one stops caring. Care hard about the clients, partners, solving problems, and about making every day better.
Constantly Check your E2PC
E - Ego | E - Economics | P - Principles | C - Capacity maintain low E2 and high P & C
Embrace Change
Change is like throwing a rock in the water, it creates waves but the water always settles, and always faster that you expect.
Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with an intent to reply” - Stephen R. Covey
Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier
“The Ripple Effect for a leaders enthusiasm and optimism is huge, so its the cynicism and pessimism” - Colin Powel

ROR Is The Longtail
Value the long term of return on relations more than short term return on investment.
Think Win Win
It’s hard to compete with winners. It's even harder to compete with winners who create other winners.
Sweat More During Peace; Bleed Less During War
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, white defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” - Sun Tzu
In A Crisis, There Are No “Silver Bullets”
If you are in a production critical situation, assume there are 20 “Root Causes”. Once you fix one, keep checking to look for the others.
Personal Effectiveness Is Not team Effectiveness
Its is always okay to sacrifice a little personal effectiveness to improve team's effectiveness.
Do Not Assume The Worst When You Lack Information
If you trust first you’ll earn trust quickly.
Trust Is Not An Entitlement
It’s earned over, and over and can never be taken for granted.
