No matter your role; no matter the company.

1. Figure out what you should focus on and stick to it. Limit distractions as much as possible.
2. Do the things you say you will do. If you can’t, tell people that sooner rather than later.
3. Believe people are doing their best unless they give you a reason not to believe that.
4. Stay humble. What goes up must come down.
5. You have two jobs: what’s in your job description comes first. Then also — how to do your job better.
6. Ask for help when you need it.
7. Offer help if you’re able to.
8. Stand up for yourself (especially when no one else does).
9. Never assume someone else’s job is easy.
10. Remember everyone you work with is human. And you are, too.
