  2. Find successess – no matter how small
  3. Find Failures
  4. Tell Stories
  5. Allocate resources
  6. Set targets

  • create a new department/organization for the sake of creating turf/control
  • Creating red tape — that will come
  • Faking the results by finding metrics that make you look good
