Common Sense Principles and Approach that I use to drive both business and personal relationships; as well as create mutual trust and accountability chain.

1. Partnership Principles
• Challenges are healthy
• Change is good
• Collaboration is key
• Speed of execution is critical
• Strong silos = corporate weakness
• Clear expectations drive results
• It’s Okay to say no = don’t overcommit
• Open and honest dialogue strengthens partnerships
• What used to be, may not always be
• Listen to your customers’ needs and wants
• Performance and relationships count
• Accountability and ethics; make them part of your driving principles
• Leadership Roadmap = anyone can be a Leader

2. Leadership Roadmap
Create a Compelling Vision
Set a vision and strategy for the future state and inspire other to
follow. Show passion for this vision at all times. Never waver. Build
optimism and accountability for the path, project, objective and
destination. Motivate, lead and achieve.
Model the Way
Build trust by demonstrating transparency and integrity. Be respectful.
See the way as a journey and one that your team will want to
participate in.
Lead More
Leadership is driven by situational awareness at all times.
Mentor, coach, teach and enable your people and partners; they are
the tools! Be decisive and focus on team and individual empowerment.
Seek to understand and communicate at a high level. Never
assume, do not rule by intimidation and always cultivate innovation
and ask “what’s next?”
Communicate
Listen at all times. Focus on this skill. Lead by listening and creating a
culture of openness. Recognize and celebrate victories, regardless of
the scope or scale. Be vulnerable.
Make Development a Top Priority
Develop yourself, your team and your partners. Be accountable for the
success of yourself and your relationships. When people fail, the leader
fails; live this culture. Inspire continuous improvement on all levels.
