Core Principles
The non-negotiable beliefs that govern decisions when no playbook exists. Memorize them. Apply them under pressure.
The tenets
- 01Capital is trust, denominated in dollars.
[Placeholder] Treat every dollar entrusted to us as a vote of confidence we must continually re-earn.
- 02Brevity is respect.
[Placeholder] Long memos hide weak thinking. Compress until the argument is unmistakable.
- 03Preparation is non-optional.
[Placeholder] Walking into a room unprepared is a violation of the standard. There is no exception.
- 04Disagree in writing.
[Placeholder] Dissent is welcomed, but it must be recorded. Verbal pushback that is not written down did not happen.
- 05Outcome over output.
[Placeholder] Activity is not progress. The only acceptable measure is the realized outcome.
- 06No theatrics.
[Placeholder] We do not perform. We work, we report, we move on.
