  • Know what to do. If there is not a policy, process or standard doesn’t mean there isn’t a right way to do things. Think, communicate and collaborate; then act.

  • It’s already tomorrow. Honor the past, learn from it and choose today’s news.
  • Focus on the IMPORTANT, manage the URGENT. Expect upsets in business. Don’t spend excessive time putting out fires. Create enough opportunity so bumps in the road do not escalate into poor decision making. Emergencies will be properly prioritized.

  • Leave the campground in better shape than you found it. Have a great legacy, it’s a real measure of what you build.
