Rules of the I&E Network:
1. Break the Rules and Dream — Challenge conventional thinking; innovation comes from pushing beyond traditional boundaries and noticing what others miss.
2. Open Doors and Listen — Be approachable and receptive to new people and ideas; active listening creates opportunities.
3. Trust and Be Trusted — Trust underpins collaboration; take small risks to build mutual confidence.
4. Experiment and Develop Value — Prioritize action over perfection: try, fail, learn, and iterate. Ask for help when needed.
5. Seek Fairness, Not Advantage (No Selling) — Foster relationships based on respect and reciprocity instead of trying to win at others' expense.
6. Fail and Persist — Failure is expected; persistence and forward momentum are essential.
7. Pay It Forward — Support others without expecting immediate returns; generosity cultivates future collaboration.
