Stocks to flows. Centralized to distributed. Broadcast to peer-driven. One-way to two-way. Command and control to community.1. Set people for success Even when their definition of success is different from yours2. Give more than you take Commons are important; collaboration is cooperation plus amplification3. Say what you mean, do what you say Speed of trust depends on this4. Deliver fast error recovery This is more important than failure avoidance5.
