Very nice, I can imagine someone turning it into a little satirical webpage, which implements a kind of decision tree:

1. Choose from a set of challenge types (e.g. meeting a deadline, reliability)

2. Choose whether the challenge was "met" or "failed".

3. Choose whether you want to make the person look good or bad, by following/ignoring a principle.

4. Results: A list of relevant principles with short rationalizations.

I'm almost tempted to try, except perhaps I should treasure my ignorance.

If a tool like that gets popular enough that most employees are using it for office-politics, it might even start to deflate the whole Leadership Principles thing.
