To Be On This Team

When doing the work, with the organizations we work with, for the causes we fight for, the team must:

  1. be open to ideas, coming from all directions

  2. understand the process isn’t something to simply complete

  3. get as many people bought in along the way as you can

  4. pushback yes, confrontation no

  5. we are here for the cause

  6. in the search for what’s possible, know what is

  7. there is no such thing as the ideal scenario

  8. bring to the table what needs to be brought

  9. the process can be adjusted, it’s okay

  10. no one is the smartest person in the room

  11. there are times to speak, listen, write, and refrain

  12. it’s the people, then the work, don’t worry about externalities

  13. everyone does their part, no need for excuses

  14. there’s talk, and then there’s getting it done

  15. professionalism, maturity, respect, humility

  16. we deliver, end of story

  17. and things change, that’s how it is
