UNVARNISHED COMMUNICATION
Be honest. Talk directly with the person you want to encourage, praise, or confront. Gossip is not acceptable.
PLANNING & PREPARATION
Be ready and prepared to deliver on your responsibilities. Anticipate needs. Have a plan and a contingency plan.
TAKING RISKS
Take risks… calculated risks. Analyze the risk-reward. Sometimes, the greater risk is not taking the risk.
INNOVATION
Creatively solve problems. Continuously seek to improve. Innovate with products, projects, services, processes – in everything we do.
JUST DO IT
Embrace responsibility. Serve others in a way that exceeds expectations. Take the initiative to get things done and done well.

Be responsible with the resources (time, money, and talent) you’ve been given. Grow, lead, and serve. Selflessly give to others and create ripples of influence that will make this world a better place.
EXECUTING THE FUNDAMENTALS
Do the basics very, very well – those things that customers won’t notice when you do them well but they will notice if you don’t. Don’t take shortcuts.
FINDING YOUR SWEET SPOT
Take initiative to grow personally and professionally. Discover your: Mission - What the world needs; Vocation - What someone will pay for; Profession - What you’re good at; and Passion - What you love.
TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS
Build trust by staying true to your word and treating others with respect. Admit your mistakes. Make things right at no extra cost. Go more than half way.
REJUVENATION
Restore a proper work-life balance. Proper rest, time with family, a good laugh, regular exercise, and time away is healthy. Make time to be alone (TreeTop Time) to reflect, evaluate, process, and plan.
TWO EXTRA THINGS
Do the extra small things that make a big difference with customers, co-workers, and community. Go the extra mile.
HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Set the bar high and hold yourself accountable to it. Perform your best whether someone is watching or not. Continually improve.
