   the right place, and ensure that everyone knows how they can

   meeting with a clear statement of its purpose.

-  Practice management by walking around (MBWA) to obtain
   unfiltered information about how the organization functions.

   member of their staff can do their job as well as they can.

   organization, and refrain from construction of disconnected
   empires unrelated to business goals.

   they know can't be delivered, do anything they say they'll do,
   and provide notification as far in advance as possible when
   circumstances prevent fulfillment of a commitment.

   talk, and say they don't know when they don't know.

-  Maintain a good working relationship with all departments, and

   processes under their control.

   vacation a year, and that at least three weeks of unused
   vacation can be carried over from one year to the next.

   training a year, and enable employees to choose their own
   training if not chosen by their management.

   colours available to all staff.

   old, with word processing, spreadsheet, database, and graphics
   applications, and email, newsgroup, and web access.

3.5  All Personnel will:

   aspects of their job.

-  Actively listen to everyone, never interrupt, and change their
   mind when they hear a better idea.

This process ends when all personnel look forward to coming to
work at the start of each day, and leave at the end of each day
with a genuine sense of joy, self-worth, and achievement.

Failure to have fun will not be tolerated.

This version supersedes previous issues and takes precedence
over constitutions.
