The Strength of Diversity and Inclusion
Leaders respect all persons, promote inclusion, value unique perspectives and welcome and encourage hard conversations. Recognizing that disparities exist across gender, race and other identities leaders seek viewpoints from diverse constituencies, break through silos and work to ensure the best possible solutions.
The Power of Caring
Recognizing our common goals and destiny, leaders take all the time needed and give all the attention necessary to listen with empathy and speak with integrity.
Strengths-Based Approach
Leaders focus on a strengths-based approach and believe that positive change occurs when we appreciate, value, and invest in what is best in our people and community.
The Greater Good
Leaders look for common ground, prioritize equity and act for the greater good.
A Success Mindset
Leaders believe that anything is possible and have the courage and will to envision success.
The Value of Collaboration
Within and beyond their own walls leaders respect and honor all boundaries, seek to overcome barriers, partner with others, and achieve shared outcomes.
Unwavering Commitment
Leaders take responsibility for tasks and achieve specified outcomes by committing to action and completing the job.
