“I value honesty, warts and all. If we don’t speak the truth, we can’t win. I value talent. Talent is the ability to deliver what’s needed, even if not spoken. I value creativity. Art, design, photography, video, music, and words can break through the noise and inspire, moving people to action. I value collaboration. While individual contribution is key, no one person has all the answers. I value mission. We need clarity of purpose. I value results. Otherwise, why bother? I value laughter. Because it makes work, and life, a lot better. — Stephen Ludwig”
