Service ethos

There are more extensive writings on service ethos (e.g. here), but here's a digestible summary:

  • Do it
  • Do it now
  • If I can't do it now, do it as soon as possible
  • If I can't do it today, do it first thing tomorrow
  • Do it to the absolute best of my ability (EEH)
    • Effectively
    • Efficiently
    • Harmoniously
  • Do it precisely the way I have been instructed, to the extent I have been instructed
  • To the extent I have been left discretion, be guided by principle (EEH), elders, and God
  • If in doubt:
    • Ask up the chain of delegation for further guidance
    • Consult sideways on best practice
  • Seek to continuously improve process and execution
  • Report back
