• Timely decision-making and realistic deadlines
• Silence and space: taking time for inner reflection
• Integrity/reliability: doing what we say we will do.
• Accountability: being personally responsible, including not exceeding one’s capacity; participating in evaluation.
• Positive reinforcement: encouraging and respecting others; admitting and allowing for mistakes, regarding mistakes as potential learning experiences
• Plan/do/review: applying the lessons of what has worked in programs and in practice.
• Recognising conflict: addressing it promptly, with professional help as required.
