Topics Covered:

Tactic: If you don’t have the right answer, ask the right questions.

Tactic Make decisions based on the circumstance, not the individual you are dealing with.

Tactic: As a supervisor, if you're working with your hands you're not working with your mind. Always be cognizant of if you are operating at the task, tactical, or strategic level. If you have to move down a level due to circumstances beyond your contro, make sure to move back as quickly as possible.

Tactic: When you lose, or suffer a setback, smile and push forward. Do not give anyone the power over you to take away your passion.

“Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren't susceptible to rational evaluation.”

-Brian Eno
