Chapters
As you approach everything that you do, you have to be clear about what your values are and the values of your organization are. And maybe I can just end with how people ask me, well, what are your values and what are your top three values or things like that. I like to divide them into three areas. Personal values, interpersonal values, and what I call action values. And so in terms of personal values, what I strive for is honesty, integrity, and personal accountability. So owning that decision, knowing that if I made the mistake, that I have to own up to it. Interpersonal values, respect, collaboration and compassion. Again, that's what I strive to live by. And action values, optimism, initiative and tenacity. And optimism, of course, what I love about Stanford is that is such a deeply entrenched value here. Optimism, initiative. You can't leave it to others to do things. You have to be willing to step up to the plate. And finally, tenacity. Because nothing important in the world gets done easily. Nothing of significance gets done easily. You have to keep at it. Everybody here in this room knows it, but you can't say it enough. You have to get back on the horse and you have to keep going.
