‘response’ and ‘ability’ Choosing in accord with
what is important to our project, and to our team and to us.
own it all – Act from the inside out not outside in.
How? Pay attention to what has our
attention –practice attention territoriality.

Be.Do.Have - Dare to stand where we are going but are not yet –Be a response-ability warrior
Captaincy Practice: exercising “response-ability” for everything
