Bad red tape makes it hard for people to do their job. Good red tape keeps the crime scene away from people who shouldn't be meddling with it. Red tape will always be there just make sure it's in the right place.

Distribute Everything

Everything we do should be distributable. If you're creating something that you don't want anyone to see, then it's not worth creating. Simply put, shout your value because no one else will.

Good news: You design the kind of world you live in. Good things don't just happen. When we plan our work days like we plan a party, a culture will be established and a good culture will always adapt to the new wave of technology.

What would happen if you treated your clients like your girlfriends? No one plans out their dates as a "to do list" to complete. However, in our responsibilities, we sometimes find ourselves merely completing the "to do list" thinking we've succeeded. What's missing? We call this the Desired Outcome, or the D.O.

What's the solution?

What happens when someone brings you a solution in the midst of a mess of problems? Momentum starts to build. Always bring options. Never just come with a dead-end problem. Change the name of the game: bring at least two solutions with one problem.

Create the rules of the game before you come to the table. How effective is it to have a meeting with managers? The DRP(direct responsible person) owns the success, owns the failure, owns the communication, owns the team.

Create the rules of the game and take excuses off the table.
