Direction, Collaboration and Autonomy

Direction at the appropriate level with the appropriate detail.

Direction sets goals that are achievable, relevant and measurable. Goals answer questions with enough flexibility to not be directives. Goals are almost always immutable and rigid. Goals have enough detail as to not be interpreted in ways that conflict.

Collaboration in the correct Direction.

Collaboration is working together against common goals in ways in which we can measure our success. There is a synergy and understanding. Collaborate on "how we are doing..." not "why we are doing...".

Clear direction and good collaboration leads to autonomy in implementation.

Be autonomous enough to measure against our goals without guidance. Collaborate enough to continue without intervention. Set direction, collaborate and go.
