I commit myself to the core principles of Operational Excellence:
## 1. You Set The Rhythm
Projects Move At The Pace Of Their Team Syncs. Sync more, be hyper communicative, and move faster.
## 2. Do More To Do More
More actions = More Output. This is the secret that everyone knows and nobody does.
## 3. Be Hyper Communicative
Leadership, success, and great client service all start with hyper communication.
## 4. Clarity = Speed
Gain both by doing the One Thing that will give you success. Simplify to Accelerate.
## 5. If It Matters, It Must Be Measured
If you want something to change you've got to be tracking it.
## 6. Be Honest
In Thought, Opinion, and Word; Even If It Hurts.
## 7. Be Present
Respect The Time Others Give You. Time is the only nonrenewable resource you have.
## 8. You Get What You Give
Bring a 5 star attitude if you want a 5 star experience. Showing up with a good attitude is part of the job.
## 9. Better Every Day
Compound Your Improvements. Operational excellence starts with optimization.
## 10. By Endurance We Conquer
We continue until the task is done, less it need never be done.
## 11. Seek Leverage
If you do it twice, automate it. Leverage AI & Automation to do more before you do more to do more. This is strategic laziness.
## 12. You Are In Charge
Remember: you are the only one who can hold yourself accountable. Extreme ownership and radical autonomy start with you.
