Habits Over Talent
- High-performing teams succeed because of practiced habits, not just talent or luck.
- Cultivating daily habits and practices drives consistent team excellence.
Use Premortems To Prevent Failures
- Do a premortem: visualize failure, work backward, and identify risks before starting.
- Address those risks up front to avoid obvious and preventable mistakes.
Disagree, Then Commit
- Disagree and commit: voice disagreements but fully support team decisions afterward.
- Separate your identity from ideas and choose which battles to fight for the team.
