1. Stressors Acceptance
Essence: Uncertainty, unpredictability, interdependencies, variability and mistakes are
facts of life. Dont try to eliminate them (fragilista behaviour), but learn how to benefit
from them.
2. Asymmetric Optionality (+ Rationality)
Essence: Create conditions where you have more to gain than to lose from volatility, so
that you are not obliged to be right all the times (you can lose something, sometimes).
3. Redundancy
Essence: You must have more than what you strictly need to respond to predictable
stress factors.
4. Via Negativa
Essence: Stop doing bad things (bad behaviours, bad initiatives, bad metrics, etc.), say
no very often
5. Skin in the Game
Essence: Create conditions where every interested parts have something to lose as a
consequence of their decisions or actions.
