Good list, with three small addendums....
6. Change equals growth, not pain. ...But change for change's sake is never positive. If improvements are offered through change, then it's worthwhile. Otherwise, stability is more important to promote.
7. Technology offers empowerment, not automation. ...It offers both. To say otherwise is disingenuous.
8. Work should be fun, not mere toil. Sometimes it's one, sometimes the other. If it was 100% fun, then there'd be no need for compensation.
Otherwise, not too bad. :-)

The differences in management styles are beautifully illustrated in the movie “Moby Dick”, as the three boats are chasing the Great White Whale.
In one boat, the First Mate is berating the oarsmen, and calling them names to make them row faster.
The second boat has Starbuck quietly urging and encouraging the men to row steady and together.
And the third boat has Captain Ahab sharing his creepy obsession with his crew. Eventually he starts rowing too! :-)
I always thought that was a fascinating scene!

Management is service, not control.I've always liked this one. If I EVER get to manage a group of people, I'm going to tell them that their job is to make me look good, and by the same token my job is to make THEM look good. win-win. Also that another part of my job is to get the obstacles that are holding them back out of the way.

Sun Tsu’s Art of War and Michael Porter's “Competitive Strategy/Competitive Analysis” were the best books on business I’ve read.

This hasn’t changed. Be aware that there are children of THE WORD and children of the world. And the children of the world will join the pack to devour you.
