Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking. Innovation grows when people push past traditional limits and imagine what others don’t yet see.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and perspectives. Active listening leads to unexpected opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Build a foundation of trust. Take small risks together to create mutual confidence and collaboration.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Favor action over perfection. Try things, learn from failures, and iterate. Ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Focus on respectful relationships and equitable partnerships rather than trying to “win” at others’ expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Accept failure as part of the process and keep moving forward with determination.
7. Pay It Forward — Offer help without expecting immediate returns; generosity cultivates goodwill and future collaboration.
