Three principles. Short enough to remember. Strict enough to guide decisions.
Clarity before motion.
Slow down long enough to see the real problem, the incentives, and the second-order effects—then act decisively.
Stewardship over ego.
Treat power as responsibility. Build durable outcomes without humiliation, performative dominance, or short-term extraction.
Build trust across divides.
Translate across cultures and institutions with respect, discretion, and truth—so progress remains human and sustainable.
