Being an Ethical and Inclusive Leader
Requires managers and leaders to do the right thing, at the right time, and for the right reasons.
Leading with integrity

Championing inclusivity
I am a compassionate leader who ensures fairness for all, by challenging injustice and championing actions that remove intentional and unintentional barriers.
Looking after wellbeing
I support a people-first culture that considers individual needs, ensures psychological safety, open communication and promotes and supports wellbeing throughout the organisation.
Prioritising the environment
I evaluate the impact that me, my team and my organisation have on the environment, and take action to minimise harm and maximise positive outcomes for the planet and its people.
Committing to sustainability
I balance the needs of people and society, the planet and the environment, and profit and economic sustainability.
