-
Recognize opportunities and see trends before everyone else
- Develop people at all levels
- Clearly and passionately communicate the company’s vision, goals, and core values
- Live those core values every day and in everything they do
- Continue to learn from and listen to others without regard for their level in the company
- Accept the responsibility for all decisions — not just the successful ones
- Maintain a positive can-do attitude, no matter how difficult the circumstances, but are honest in describing the situation
- Focus on the priorities and do not get distracted by self-indulgences and needless low-priority items
- Make all the people in the company feel that their roles are important to its success and that you appreciate their efforts
