Dusty staff handbooks that make an appearance when something goes wrong and tons of rules scream "we don't trust you" to your people. Instead, having broad principles that use notions of reasonableness that start from a position of trust breeds innovation and personal accountability. Be clear about your culture, values, treat people with respect, show evidence in action, demonstrate exceptional leadership by example and the boundaries will set themselves. This drives a shared responsibility for culture and behavior and enables people to thrive and bring their best selves to work.
