Overarching theme: As a leader, all actions and outcomes are your full responsibility. Plans are yours, failure to plan is yours, tactics are yours, communication, training, resources; everything.

• No bad teams, only bad leaders. Build high performance teams by instilling extreme ownership at every level.
• Believe in the plan. If you don't believe in the plan, nobody will. This allows you to take the necessary actions required when things get tough and to convince others to do the same.
• Simplify.
• No ego. Ego clouds judgment, prevents you from taking and receiving advice.
• Prioritize and execute. Find the critical path, complete linchpin steps first.
• Leading up and down the chain of command.
