The ones I would add are ones that I have had issues with, and generally affect the larger organization. If you have these problems in a small company you are in real trouble. 1. Incent everyone to work toward a common goal. 2. Don't create systems with conflicting objectives and then ask/expect people to be team players. 3. Either have managers who have the authority to make decisions, or take out a bunch of layers. 4. Don't stop listening to the people that actually do the work. I really like those rules a lot.
