In my brief moment with the new boss, he arrange a meet up with all of the staff of the department, he reminded me a few keypoint that seems simple but really really crucial

Dont stop reminding until you get an answer on certain matter

Be reactive and pro-active

Execution is key

Create a checklist and hang on to that checklist, always remember it to cross it until the project is finished and revised if necessary.

Well, the wording are not like this, i just simplify it for my own use.
