Members of the Collaborative Leadership Group agreed some principles of how we work together.
Our Key Principles are:
Communication –
- Clear expression and exchange of ideas, thoughts, opinions, knowledge and data
- Active listening, working to understand the emotion and intention behind what’s being shared
- Onward communication about our work with the teams, networks and groups we represent
Respect:
- Valuing the qualities, skills, and positive attributes of all our partner colleagues
- Treating each other with professionalism and consideration
Trust:
- Positive relationships – generating cooperation and resolving conflict between partner colleagues and providing feedback in a helpful way
- Good judgement and expertise – seeking and trusting in ideas and opinions of others; using their knowledge and expertise to contribute to achieving results and responding quickly to problems
- Consistency – setting a good example, following through on commitments and being willing to go above and beyond
