  • Appreciating we’re working in an ecosystem and our actions impact others
  • Coaching others to see and accept their accountabilities and being open to learning
We agree unacceptable looks like…
  • Not communicating when we will miss an accountability
  • Blaming and shaming others
  • Failing to ask for help
