Ideation – it’s a volume playBe relentless in your ideation and
the testing of the status quo
Creativity and vision help, but they aren’t the most critical prerequisites – instead, be open-minded and perceptive
Ideas should be founded on a real potential outcome
Single-step fixes are seldom enough – it’s the completed jigsaw puzzle that changes the world
Share seeds of insights, ideas and experiences – no hoarding allowed!

Friends…you gotta have ‘em
It’s not enough to understand the finer points of your organization
Cultivate an ecosystem of the like-minded, the willing, the fearless and those with complimentary skillsets, experience and access
Help, mentor, inspire (and always keep learning)
Be a resource for change

Execution – the bottom lineAbove all, do what you say you’ll do – outstanding
execution is bottom-line credibility
Never stop talking, thinking and considering, but always make real progress
Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness
Once you’ve ‘crossed the finish line’, keep running
Give credit to everyone else and mean it
Intrapreneurs create environments that help them execute, over and over again
