The 10 WEs are ten principles that establish the foundation for a system of beliefs and govern how the team treats one another (first) and those the team serves (second).
These ten principles, each beginning with the word “WE,” provide a
cultural currency that has the same value for every member of the
organization – from the newest intern to the tenured executive.

- Learn the importance of principle-based leadership
- Uncover the hidden pitfalls of leading with (even if unknowingly) a “me orientation”
- Become intimately familiar with each of the 10 WEs and real-life stories of successful WE transformations
- Receive a step-by-step model for evangelizing the principles
- Be armed with the tools to create your very own Culture of Excellence
