The document provides 13 thoughts on ensuring success and continuous improvement. Some of the key points include: (1) having a 360 degree view of your goals and plans, not just what is right in front of you, (2) understanding the purpose and why behind goals to fully achieve them, and (3) focusing on quality execution of plans and in-process measures rather than just outputs or efforts. The overarching message is the importance of common sense practices like seeing issues from different perspectives, permanently fixing problems, and walking the talk in one's words and actions.

Editor's Notes
- A plan is merely an aspiration, destination Where are the mile stones Where are the vehicles Example: Last year’s budget, month on month failure to achieve targets, meet revised projections
- Late sittings, 7 day weeks, best efforts Smart efforts Any solution Vs. elegant solution Examples of good application: 24 hours work order, KAMS, Generating contractors bills, MUL – no store
- Is our leadership team jelling Do we trust each other Can we see the others’ point of view
- Taking a system wide view or are we thinking in silos End to end look My life depends on the job Would you, as an entrepreneur have acquired a customer eg. VOIP Would I requisition for 400 post-it pads
- 1. Always aim higher. But by how much?
- Sweeping under the carpet does not help. Neither does fixes. Fixing vs. solving PONC, RCA, Attack the cause How do you ensure it will not recur, as part of your effort to solve the current problem
- We did do the consensus stuff Do we get up from meeting too soon, and not attacking the how
- Milestones Dashboards
- Delay in decision making is not acceptable Is our system rewarding the non-decider?
- From-inside view out to outside-in approach Escalation is very important
