<blockquote> * Spend more time really understanding the present and making it better than you do predicting or designing the future (the now is undervalued) * Leave things in a better state than you found them * Decentralise the decisions, centralise the vision and principles * Automate routine stuff, leave the complicated stuff to humans * Find (or create) and reinforce positive feedback loops * ~~Don’t worry about predicting the future, focus on understanding the present~~ * Make it safe to change your plans * Do the work to make the work work * Avoid creating bottlenecks, never be a gatekeeper * Avoid big, attention-seeking, resource hungry projects: find the little things with unnoticed potential that don’t need lots of energy - set a few of these going </blockquote>
