They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. - They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere - They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs. - We value calculated risk taking. - Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention. - Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
