GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Our Guiding Principles are representative of our most important underlying values, beliefs, philosophies and points of view. They steer us through all of our endeavors – both individually and collectively – with clients, partners and J.W. Webb colleagues alike.

The Crucible of Leadership© – The Guiding Principles

Life Is a Test…
        •  …of who we are and who we can become

See What Can’t Be Seen©
        • Boldly envision something worth striving for

Be Unreasonable©
        • The world is choking on what has become normal, usual and expected
        • Make the previously unthinkable…imminently doable

Be Insecure©
        • Act on your vision before you are secure about every detail
        • You can’t steal second without taking your foot off first

Burn the Ships©
        • Architect situations so that the chosen direction becomes the only direction
        • Success or failure against the vision are the only potential outcomes

Behave As-If©
        • The surest path to achieving a vision of success is to begin assuming the
          characteristics of the future image as soon as you commit to it

Race with Blinders©
        • Apply mental blinders as a shield from the endless onslaught of information and
          stimuli in the environment, most of which has nothing to do with achieving your goals

Nothing But the Truth©
        • Truth is respected above almost all else – starting with being relentlessly honest with
          yourself
        • Say what you mean and do what you say you’ll do
        • The quality of your character cannot be escaped

Be a Lighthouse©
        • Be clear and steadfast about what you stand for
        • Be calm and strong in the storm – show the way
        • “Do the right thing”…even when it’s very difficult to do so

Own Yourself©
        • Be fully accountable for your behavior
        • Accept responsibility for the results of your actions

The Only Thing That Matters…
        • … is what works
        • Pay attention to the real impact of your actions – despite your intentions, are you
          making things better?
        • If “it’s not working,” be willing to reconsider your view and approach
