I Elevate Those Around Me.

​

Expectations of Leaders:

·      People are excellent at many things, but not the same things.  Leaders bring diverse people together to capitalize on strengths and achieve a common goal.  

·      A leader will push the team and keep true to the objective.  In the process, team members grow.  A leader will facilitate accomplishment of the team, and in the process develop teammates to be better trained and more capable. 

·      A leader values their team personally and professionally.  Everyone has different goals, needs, and values.  Bring your complete and authentic self to the team—it’s why you are here!

 

Core Leadership Values:

·      Extreme Ownership:  I take full responsibility for the team.  

·      Progression: There will be clear goals.  Without a direction there is no possibility of success.  

·      Integrity: Being true to core values and shared principles.  

·      Health: Mental, physical, and spiritual support to do the things we need to do.  

 

Leadership Style:

·      Coaching.  I observe, comment, and suggest; I rarely command.  You will be encouraged and supported in your professional development.

·      Positive feedback.  People respond better to positive feedback.  If I give negative feedback, it will be focused, actionable, and clear.

·      Communication.  You will give and receive feedback.  You will know where you stand.  

 

What I expect:

·      Be prepared.  Be true to the team and yourself.  Fulfill your role.

·      Pursue the mission.  Keep the goal in mind.  Every team and every individual have a purpose, work that purpose.  

·      Proactivity.  You don’t need to wait to be told.  Take control.  If there are no leaders, be the leader until a more suitable person is available.  

·      Productivity.  Use your time effectively.  Advance the project, elevate your team, and improve yourself.  

·      Support.  Inside and outside the project, support your team and expect support in return.  We all will bring our whole selves to the project.  Life inside the team, outside the team, and outside work are all components of our true selves that require support.

·      Disagreement. Disagree well.  Diverse teams are more effective.  We all benefit if we create a safe space and are willing to thoughtfully listen to each other.

·      Accountability.  Errors are a normal and expected part of the process.  Be transparent during process improvement.
