10 Corporate Rules I Kept

What is inside

• 1Rule 01, the Recap. The decision, the owner and the deadline, in three lines, before end of workday.
• 2Rule 02, the Credit File. A private running note per direct report, so pay reflects contribution and not recency or self promotion.
• 3Rule 05, the Kill Number. Write the metric, the deadline and the stop decision at kickoff, before attachment starts masquerading as conviction.
• 4Rule 07, the Red Flag Rule, and the literal question to ask on Monday: what are we not saying because it is uncomfortable?
• 5The closing instruction that matters most. Do not install all ten. Pick the one that removes the most friction in your company right now.
