Expect discomfort
Manage the Partnership
Be positive, persuasive, and collaborative
Get help from senior executives
Anticipate conflict and act in advance

To get great results, focus on learning, not results
Talk about what you don't know
Make formal but routine revisions to the plan

Create a custom scorecard
Seek the Truth
