We believe it’s …

1. Crucial to show respect and speak with civility. Authenticity is not a license to be rude and insulting. Insults leave scars. Build bonds instead.

2. Necessary to speak up respectfully vs. holding a grudge. What we leave unsaid explodes later.

3. Valuable to listen. It shows strength and professionalism not weakness and surrender.

4. Beneficial to adapt to each other’s social styles. It doesn’t mean you are fake. It is professional flexibility.

5. Worthwhile to learn about each other. This improves results.

6. Essential to show humility. It keeps us learning from each other. It’s not humiliating. It’s exhilarating.

7. Critical to show initiative without running over others. Combine initiative with great listening.

8. Important to contribute your talents. Go beyond your job description. It realizes everyone’s potential.

9. Imperative to continue to contribute even when your idea doesn’t win out.

10. Necessary to be confident not arrogant. Confidence learns; arrogance doesn’t. It thinks it knows everything.
