My first principles.
Twelve beliefs I do not negotiate on. They decide how I work, how I treat people, and what good looks like when nobody is watching.
Rules tell you what to do. Principles tell you how to think. A rule can be followed mechanically and still miss the point. A principle, once it is yours, guides thousands of small decisions you will never write down. These twelve are mine. I hold myself to them first, and the teams I work with after that, gently, consistently, without ego.
Make small and consistent efforts.
02Aspire Big, Think GlobalDon't settle for mediocrity.
03Do More With LessBe smart about how I use the resources I have.
04Manage YourselfAlways know what your contribution to the mission is.
05Say It. Do It.Plan it well so chances of success are high. I am the wall.
06Help Everyone Have Work-Life BalanceHealth and family are as important as career.
07Be Transparent as Much as PossibleMake mistakes. We're human. Just don't repeat them.
08Respect the Work Environment and Each OtherNo one is bigger than the mission.
09Winning Through Team Effort is More SatisfyingWinning alone is great, but it's lonely too.
10Quality is Non-NegotiableDot every i and cross every t.
11Continuous Learning is Essential for Survival and GrowthAcquire new skills to keep myself up to date.
12If It is Complex, Something is WrongKeep it simple at all times. We're not going to Mars.
