SIX PRINCIPLES THAT DRIVE OUR COMPANY
Get Real
Winning companies see the environment for what it is and themselves for what they are. It is all too easy to perceive things as we wish them to be, not as they are. When we believe that our company is superior to others in its market, we are asking for failure.
Get Moving
Once you have a grip on reality, you need to act on it. Sooner or later, in companies of any size, risk aversion sets in. Going to meetings and merely studying a situation should not take priority over doing something about it.
Speak The Truth
Speaking the truth requires candor, openness, and positive, proactive honesty, as well as intelligence, courage, and self-respect.
Inspire Concretely
Clearly define the company’s values, the purpose of your employee’s work, and the mission you are trying to achieve.
Challenge False Paradoxes
When faced with a dilemma, think first about how to win it all, not about what to sacrifice.
Lead
Set a clear direction, develop trust, produce winning results.
“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way.”
