Does it ring true?

If each of my leaders wrote down our three biggest priorities this year, the lists would match.

We know exactly who we serve, and we say no to the rest.

I can describe where this company will be in three years in two sentences, and so can my team.

The important work gets planned, and what gets planned gets done.

Our meetings end with decisions and owners, not with more meetings.

I could take two weeks off, never check email, and come back to a business in better shape than I left it.

I end most weeks with energy left over for the people I love.

When something goes wrong, my first instinct is curiosity, not blame. Including blame of myself.

I can name the one thing I’m avoiding saying to someone on my team, and I have a plan to say it.

I tell myself the truth about this business and about how I’m doing in it.
