Do		Don't
Get actively involved		Whine about obstacles
Be a change agent		Blame "the budget"
Champion an idea		Take personal offense
Execute using your unique skills		Think of excuses for not going forward
Take responsibility		Bite off more than you can chew
Stay on task		Forget to chew what you bite off
Focus on issues as problems, not people as problems		Unconsciously or consciously reinforce stereotypes
Recognize the power of small wins		Cling to "the good old days" way of doing things - if they were so good we wouldn't be here
Recognize that whatever benefits one gender or group benefits the other		Say, "We tried that." It's a new millennium.
Claim your sphere of influence and use it		Pass the buck-if you can't address an issue, who can?
Respect experience regardless of position		Defer to authority
