Core Values
To astonish the customer, not just to satisfy the customer:
"I don't care if they don't notice everything we do. Just as long as they notice something that's different about us."
Only the non-complacent thrive:
"We will always be on the lookout for complacency."
Actions speak louder than words:
"Walk the walk." "No one carries more importance to the core mission of the City than another. Only job descriptions differ."
The best team polices itself:
"If you treat a fellow crewmember or customer badly, there are enough people around who care enough that you're going to hear about it."
Expectation + Ownership = Ultimate Motivation
Employees have to understand the business
Build a team of big thinkers:
"If you hire A-players, you don't have to sit on them and tell them what to do."
Change is the status quo:
"Be a champion of positive change. Be sure the end result of change is positive. Be cognizant of the efforts of change."
Stay small as you grow:
"Practice Visible Leadership."
Propagate the culture:
"Treat your people right," "Communicate with your team," "Inspire greatness in others," Encourage initiative and innovation," and "Do the right thing."
