Operating thesis
The habits that build a career are the habits that build a trustworthy institution.
01Accuracy is a habit, not an event.
02Communication is not complete until the other person understands.
03Government relations is institutional work, not access-seeking.
04Compliance creates operating confidence.
05ESG matters when it changes decisions and outcomes.
06Local content should leave behind capability.
