Succeed at home first
Seek and Merit Divine Help
Never compromise with Honesty
Remember the people involved
Hear both sides before judging
Obtain Counsel of others
Defend those who are Absent
Be sincere, yet Decisive
Develop one new Proficiency a year
Plan tomorrow’s work today
Hustle while you wait
Maintain a Positive Attitude
Keep a sense of Humour
Be orderly in person and in work
Do not fear mistakes-fear only the
absence of Creative, Constructive and
Corrective Responses to those mistakes
Facilitate the Success of Subordinates
Listen Twice as much as you speak
Concentrate all Abilities and Efforts
on the task at Hand, not worrying about
Next job or promotion
