Extreme ownership.
The buck stops with me. I own all failures in the team.
Default to action.
Take calculated risks, manage risk, learn and adjust.
Keep plans clear and simple.
If the team is confused, it is the PM's fault. Simplify and Communicate.
Strategic balance.
It is always a balance of speed, cost and quality. Know what is the most important.
Documentation.
Have clear and shared records for decisions, risks, commitments.
Knowledge.
Project manager should have thorough understanding of the scope, risks, budget and schedule.
Communication.
Probably one of the most important ones that I am developing. Any tips on how you have done it to make sure the team and sponsors are on the same page?
Any one of these resonates with you?
What are some of the principals of yours?
Battle stories to share where these principals made a difference?
