Key Behavioural Skills

Humility – We put “we” before “me” and emphasise the power of the collective, nurturing the team and building on the strengths of each individual. We are not concerned with hierarchical power and we involve, trust and value the knowledge and experience of other people at all levels of the organisation.

Relationship building – We understand the importance of building relationships, both inside and outside the organisation. We have the ability to interact with traditional and non-traditional stakeholders in ways that lead to greater impact for the organisation.

Listening – We are good listeners who can see where the deeper levels of tacit thoughts and assumptions differ. Our messages to others are clear and consider different preferences.

Mutual Accountability – We can explain our decisions and how we make them based on our organisational values. We are ready to be held accountable for what we do and how we behave, as well as consistently holding others accountable.

Self-awareness – We are able to develop a high degree of self-awareness around our own strengths and weaknesses and our impact on others. Our self-awareness allows us to moderate and self-regulate our behaviours in order to control and channel our impulses for good purposes.

Enabling – We all work to effectively empower and enable others to fulfil the organisation’s objectives by creating the conditions for success. We passionately invest in others, developing their careers and not just their skills for work. We offer freedom; demonstrating belief and confidence provides appropriate support. We give more freedom and demonstrate belief and trust, underpinned by appropriate support.
