Keys to success: Making sure that that the basics and little things are covered so that one can deal with the big things as they arise. Listening to people, respect their role and opinions and be willing to accept new ideas and thoughts. Be willing to have open and honest conversation. Challenge myself to see if there is a better process or solution and not accept the status quo and become complacent.
