Larry has a good list. I'd replace #3 with: 

3. That physical and electronic records both exist and should be treated
identically.

Yeah, well it should be, but it depends on how large your organization is,
how heavily regulated you are, and how strongly your RM Program is
supported/funded.

1) What your organization's definition of a record is
2) That Records Management is EVERY employee's responsibility
3) Where to find your RM Policy and Retention Schedule
4) Where to get assistance interpreting the application of both of the above
5) That "I wasn't aware" isn't a viable excuse, at ANY level

I'll stop there.
