High Performance Work Group Manifesto:

• Reject the “Box”.  We do not want to be categorized into anything normal or stationary.
• Do not seek what is easy or comfortable.
• We value problems, roadblocks and change.  We expect and seek out problems, roadblocks and change.
• We value the team.
• We value diversity of opinion.
• We value the “and” and reject the “or”.  We want it the way we want it.
• We enjoy being told that something can’t be done.  Then going out and proving the “teller” wrong.
• We are pirates. Not conformists.
• We are arrogant and difficult for conformists to get along with.
• We believe we can do it.
• We reject traditional thinking and embrace creating our own future.
• We are not afraid to fail.  We are afraid of people who are afraid to fail.  They are the bad apples that can spoil the whole barrel.
• We do not focus on addressing wrong answers.  This is the purview of the small minded.  Instead, we focus on addressing the wrong questions. This is the venue of really smart folks.
