- When I have to fix things, I must not have done my job right in the first place
- I gain recognition from knowing things are running smoothly and predictable
- My clients are important; the world revolves around them
- I don’t know everything, so I ask lots of questions to uncover problems and opportunities
- I delegate responsibility to those who can handle it and I guide them to success
- I read instructions, because somebody else learned it the hard way, and wrote about it
- Everything under my control is my responsibility; therefore I empower myself to fix it
- When a serious problem arises I work with the team to develop a plan before it gets out of control
- Finally, I don't reinvent the wheel; I find who is doing things right and copy their success
