Meg Whitmann's nine-point personal philosophy.

1. Do something you enjoy because if you do not you are unlikely to be any good at it.
2. Deliver the results whatever you're doing.
3. Codify the lessons learned.
4. Be patient and stick around good people and good things.
5. Build a team and share credit.
6. Be fun to work with.
7. Ask what you don't know or understand.
8. Don't take yourself too seriously.
9. Never, ever compromise your integrity.
