- Thou Shalt Not Rule by Consensus – not everyone will always be pleased with every decision, but as long as everyone has been heard, the team is healthy, then Ye must live with and support decisions.
- Thou Shalt Be Decisive – it’s less important what Ye decide, than it is that Ye decide, so…decide.
- Thou Shalt Not Rely on Secondhand Information – Ye cannot solve an issue involving multiple people without all the parties present. Take time out for Pow-Wows, if needed.
- Thou Shalt Fight for the Greater Good – egos, titles, emotions, and past beliefs must be put to the side. Focus on the vision of the organization. Cutting through candy-coating, personalities, and politics lead to faster decisions.
- Thou Shalt not Try to Solve Them All – take issues one at a time, and in the order of priority (the most important 1st). Quality vs. quantity counts.
- Thou Shall Live with it, End it, or Change it – 100%. (Tip: Ye living with it should be the last resort).
- Thou Shalt Choose Short-Term Pain – Solve your problem now, rather than later.
- VIII.Thou Shalt Enter the Danger – The issue that Ye fear the most is the one Ye most need to discuss and resolve.
- Thou Shalt Take a Shot – Propose a solution! Don’t wait around for someone else to come up with your great idea.
- Thou Shalt Not be a Moist Sausage – Ye must have a strong will, firm resolve, and be willing to make tough decisions.
