We have the ability to engage with traditional and non-traditional stakeholders
in ways that lead to increased impact for the organisation.
·        
Listening: We are good listeners who
can see where deeper levels of thoughts and tacit assumptions differ. Our
messages to others are clear, and consider different preferences.
·        
Mutual Accountability: We can
explain our decisions and how we have taken them based on our organizational
values. We are ready to be held to account for what we do and how we behave, as
we are also holding others to account in a consistent manner.
·        
Self-Awareness: We are able to

and our impact on others. Our self-awareness enables us to moderate and
self-regulate our behaviors to control and channel our impulses for good

Agility, Complexity, and Ambiguity:
We scan the environment, anticipate changes, are comfortable with lack of
clarity and deal with a large number of elements interacting in diverse and
unpredictable ways.
·        
Systems Thinking: We view problems
as parts of an overall system and in their relation to the whole system, rather
than reacting to a specific part, outcome or event in isolation. We focus on
cyclical rather than linear cause and effect. By consistently practicing
systems thinking we are aware of and manage well unintended consequences of
organisational decisions and actions.
·        
Strategic Thinking and Judgment: We
use judgment, weighing risk against the imperative to act. We make decisions
consistent with organizational strategies and values.
