Empathy
Empiricism
Excellence

I can only get to 7:

  • delivery of value, thru trust and ownership
#4

Individuals + interactions > processes/tools.

#5

never quite there

#6

Happy customers safety for #knowledgeworkers

#7

Values, individuals, communication, empathy, safety. a.k.a. VICES

#8

Respect,
Collaboration,
Empowerment,
Trust

#9

Small bites. Chew fast.

Ruthlessly prioritize. Furiously iterate.

Good enough never is.

#10

#11

#12

#13

Observation
Feedback
Respond to change

#14
