I can be responsible for an culture improvement. You don't need a badge to say good morning to each person you see in the morning, or a say good-bye to someone on the way out. I notice our work culture was a bit isolated, some hellos, but the default is to ignore people (or that is what I had been asking for?).
2. I was frustrate a group meeting the other day, everyone else basically on the team was speaking about there project and currently I am buried in a Windows 10 upgrade. My responsibility to myself is to bring a better me to the project and to the team.
3. I can find ways to improve automation in our packaging team, and push our customers to self-service where is helpful to them. 
4. I can bring a higher view of the customer to the work. Listen the first time and work on our checklists, so that we gather our requirements the first time and get them correct. 
5. Complete what you start. This is a big deal for packaging. Bring you work to the definition of done! Or if that is not possible, document your progress and next steps for the work.
6. Improve yourself! This is a take off on item #2, but expanding that out a bit. I am looking to change the focus from what I am I getting from my current position to what am I becoming as far as a leader and improving my skills.
7. Be curious
8. Be inventive.
9. Document what you learned. Important in that we reuse scripts and block code, so accurate documentation prevents long, frustrating searches.
10. Communicate with your teammates who are affected by your work. 
11. Communicate with multiple sources: emails, blog posts, drop-byes and standups.
12. Share you visions with other members of the team. 
13. Put yourself out there! From 12, be vulnerable with your ideas.
14. Think over you ideas before you share them with the group. Show other you put some thought into what you shared.
15. Expand your self-study. For me that includes becoming knowledgeable in PowerShell and seek to improve my SCCM/Intune skills by actively seeking out that knowledge.
16. Acknowledge when other bring great ideas.
17. Encourage others in their work.
18. Make sure others get recognition, don't be focused on getting it for yourself.
19. Smile.
20. Smile more.
21. Pray and work
22. Ask others for mentorship?
23. What do you think?
24. Read Seth posts every day.
25. Let other know about this course.]]> 2019-01-20 00:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/doug20/7lfbd82vgwx6/wish/322440441 doug20 https://padlet.com/doug20/7lfbd82vgwx6/wish/324540345 1. Amazon

I was not personally invested in leading the project. I did want it to be successful, but I short on the enthusiasm, and person ownership to find a way to make it work. When problems arose, I took on the issues on my self and became more inwardly focused. I did not seek the help from outside the group to get solutions to my project. There was a lack of information on my part, but I was too passive and accepting of the issues. I tended to fall back on old ways and trying to rework them in way that would work. Additionally, I took on a failure focus, worrying about failure instead of looking and trusting for solutions. 
Then escalating the issue up for additional resources, either additional knowledge or people who had done such work before.
