INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
