Let Purpose Guide Hiring And Decisions
- Use your organization's purpose as the yardstick for every decision and hire people who believe in it.
- If work doesn't impact your team's lives, reconsider its fit or your processes to preserve integrity.

- Replace busy with intentional choices that align with your purpose and measure success by impact.
Make Choices For Your Old Self
- Consider your 80–90-year-old self to evaluate present choices and avoid future regrets.
