5. OPEN

anyone, on equal conditions with a transparent
relation between cost and pricing, to get access to
and share communication resources on one level to
provide value-added services on another level in a
layered communication system architecture

6. Clear, Simple, and
Few:
There should be no
doubt about the
direction and focus of
what you want
people to achieve. Try
not to have more
than two or three key
goals at any one time
CLEAR DIRECTION
AND GOALS
Understood and
Believable Enough:
People must be able
to articulate what
they are trying to
accomplish. They
must also believe that
the goals are possible.
Meaningful, Fulfilling
and Relevant:
Goals should be tied
to intrinsic and
extrinsic motivators
and be proportional
to the achievement
of the objectives

7. There should be no
question about what
matters most and who is
doing what. The tactical
plan can be left up to
your direct reports to
work out as long as you
keep in touch regularly
to answer questions and
monitor progress.
SENSE OF
ACCOUNTABILITY
Having Shared
Expectations
Team leaders and
employees should have a
shared understanding of
the expected outcomes,
timelines, key
stakeholders, roles and
responsibilities, scope,
success metrics, and
next steps.
