A nine point "catechism of excellence" is defined: I Know What I’m Expected To Do, I Want To Do It, I Have The Ability To Do It, Someone (who matters to me) Will Notice If I Do It, I Know How Well I’m Doing It, Processes Help Me To Do It, I Have The Resources To Do It, The Environment Is Right, and I Can Do It Better Next Time.
