Guidelines

• Actions surpass planning – but do not act without a plan
• Identification of value drivers is a critical success factor
• To speak the same language leaves little room for misunderstanding
• Simplicity and clarity beat complexity
• Importance of a balance between strategy and operational execution
• Time spent with alternative proposals and constructive criticism is well spent
• Listening before answering improves the quality of results
• Do not spread yourself too thin – set priorities and get (external) help when needed!
• Develop the strength to say “no”!
  
• Too many initiatives and priorities puts the future at risk
  
• Recognise, evaluate, prioritise, select and start to implement!
