The rule for creating rules

• Impact on culture straightforward

Lessons from Louverture

(i) Keep what works

• Voodoo singing as communication
• Guerrilla tactics from war veterans

(ii) Create shocking rules

• Forces people to ask why? Ingrained in culture
• "Amount of communication is inversely proportional to the level of trust"

(iii) Dress for success

(iv) Incorporate outside leadership

• Great culture allows you to assimilate leaders from cultures you want to penetrate

(v) Actions speak louder than words

(vi) Make ethics explicit by explaining the why
