Question 17

Customer Obsession

Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer

trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.

Ownership

Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.

They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. They never say “that’s not my

job.”

Invent and Simplify

Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify.

They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by “not invented

here.” As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods of time.

Are Right, A Lot

Leaders are right a lot. They have strong business judgment and good instincts.

Hire and Develop the Best

Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They recognize exceptional talent,

and willingly move them throughout the organization. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their

role in coaching others.

Insist on the Highest Standards

Leaders have relentlessly high standards - many people may think these standards are unreasonably

high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and driving their teams to deliver high quality products,

services and processes. Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are

fixed so they stay fixed.

Think Big

Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires

results. They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers.

Bias for Action

Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study.

We value calculated risk taking.

Frugality

We try not to spend money on things that don’t matter to customers. Frugality breeds resourcefulness,

self-sufficiency, and invention. There are no extra points for headcount, budget size, or fixed expense.

Vocally Self Critical

Leaders do not believe their or their team’s body odor smells of perfume. Leaders come forward

with problems or information, even when doing so is awkward or embarrassing. Leaders benchmark

themselves and their teams against the best.

Answer 17

Earn Trust of Others

Leaders are sincerely open-minded, genuinely listen, and are willing to examine their strongest

convictions with humility.

Dive Deep

Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, and audit frequently. No task is beneath

them.

Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit

Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is

uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for

the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.

Deliver Results

Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely

fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle.
