A team without a leader is like a ship on a voyage, but without a captain.

A system guided by principles grounds its people in “truths”, allowing them to grow and continuously improve.

Every team member must work as a steward of theresources, relationships, and opportunities available for the team and must strive for prudent management.

The team works because of teamwork.

Central to the performance of any team is accountability to the people and to itself, for the course to which the team is responsible.

Two good people are better than one good person. Together we can do what no individual can do. This isthe power of synergy.

If you really want to know what an organization ora team values, just study their culture.

A rigid structure does not give room for adaptabilityand change. A rigid structure turns people into slaves of rules, procedures, policies, and practices.
