RULE #1: TEAM UP.
Listen more often than you speak. Seek out a diversity of
voices. Don't pretend to have all the answers.
RULE #2: NURTURE
OTHERS. Empower your stakeholders. Let others win.
Motivate and inspire.
RULE #3: LOVE CHAOS.
Question the status quo. Stay out of your comfort zone. Embrace
conflict.
RULE #4: FOCUS ON
RESULTS. Clearly see what's to be accomplished.
Establish your vision. Know that the path will change, but the
endpoint won't.
RULE #5: SPREAD THE
WORD. Bring people along with you. It's not about
charisma. It is about communication.
