Coach and care
Step up to lead in a digital world while building strong human connections with customers and colleagues. Give and ask for coaching and feedback every day. Care for your health and wellbeing and that of others. Be inclusive and build psychological safety. Hire great and diverse talent and develop them to their fullest potential. Drive team engagement and high performance. The sign of a great leader is a great team. -
Collaborate to win
It all starts with making a human connection and working together with customers, partners, and colleagues. Connect across our teams with an ‘easy to do business with’ spirit. Share information freely, don’t hide it. Engage in constructive dialogue, don’t avoid tough conversations. Collaborate with focus and an open attitude; be inclusive but efficient on who to involve. Collaboration is the seed for innovation and winning. -
Empower and trust
Ultimately, we are accountable and empowered to make the right decisions for the company. Trust your own judgment and common sense and empower teams to do the same. Don’t overcomplicate decision-making. Give clear direction in the face of ambiguity. Be agile and curious and use your best intuition and logic. Let ‘doing the right thing, in the right way’ be your compass.
