Staying focused - avoiding the use of cell phones and computers; if necessary, step out of the <br />room to take the call <br />5.

Respecting one another's time by being on time, coming prepared, and be willing to do the <br />work <br />12. Driving decisions by achieving at least a 70 percent buy -in of the attendees <br />Each person will contribute one dollar in the "Penalty Box" for not adhering to one of the principles. <br />Edited by Anita S.
