The Ten Commandments were not a suggestion.
There can only be one state of mind as you approach any profound test; total concentration, a spirit of togetherness, and strength.
Being ready isn't enough; you have to be prepared for a promotion or any other significant change.
If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.
Management must speak with one voice. When it doesn't management itself becomes a peripheral opponent to the team's mission.
Discipline is not a nasty word.
