Believe in your vision and your business. Commit to it. If you – and your people – love what you do, you'll try to do it the best you possibly can.

Define shared values and let values rule. As Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Computer, put it, "The only thing that works is management by values. Find people who are competent and really bright, but more importantly, people who care exactly about the same things you care about."

Reinvent your business continually. Work on your business. Set stretch goals. Search for new opportunities. Facilitate cross-pollination of ideas. Make brainstorming a religion.

Insulate radical innovation projects from corporate bureaucracy. Allow experimentations. Give people freedom to fail and start again more intelligently.

Live speed. Build a fast company. Think fast. Make fast decisions. Simplify everything. Eliminate bureaucracy. Pursue opportunities faster than your competitors.

Institutionalize innovation. Establish culture supporting innovation, innovation processes and metrics. Create cross-functional teams driving innovation, provide strategic alignment and necessary resources.

Make business fun.  Business today is about passion, fun, and winning. Don't take yourself and your business too seriously. Get less formal. Make fun part of your culture. Establish creative chaos environment. Celebrate success.
