VALUE
Being
Considerate
Cooperation is the key to achieve our goals, whether playing individual or team roles. Start with respect for everyone involved. Next is to expand your community of supporters, while drawing out the capability and passion of each of them.
Integrity
Don’t hesitate to express your opinion and act on that conviction when you believe that is right. When things don’t go right, rather than making excuses, accept the results honestly, then analyze, and improve them. In the spirit of self-responsibility and not shifting blame, strive to work with integrity.
Take the
Extra Step
Having fulfilled your own role, seek to achieve even higher goals. Whatever the job, it is always possible to go the extra mile. When that tenacity lights a fire under the desire for improvement, growth becomes faster.
