Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit

Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.

This principle encourages healthy debate and requires leaders to voice their concerns, but once a decision is made, to fully support it regardless of their initial position.
