Never compromise non-negotiables.
Do not live in fear of your last mistake.
Micromanage until there is trust, then get out of the way.
Build a qualified team and foster a strong, positive culture.
Create a culture in which it is okay to make mistakes and unacceptable not to learn from them.
What brought us here won’t take us to the next level.
Take responsibility for your role in what happened.
Embrace setbacks.
Create positive peer pressure by challenging one another.
Beat your prior best.
Treat the company’s money like your own.
View each crisis as an opportunity.
Be radically open-minded but not easily persuaded.
Fight any temptations to lower expectations and standards – don’t lower the bar.
Treat your people right or someone else will.
Identify and don’t tolerate the problems that stand in the way of your achieving those goals.
Create an environment where the team is taken care of financially and professionally.
Be crystal clear on what the deal is.
