When our Grants Manager reads the phrase, “Other people are just as important as I am” they’ll think, “yes.” They might even say it out loud. Their mindset shows up in the ways they behave toward others. They take time to see the needs, objectives, and challenges of the people they impact. They accomplish what they need to accomplish in a way that helps others deliver their results as well.
When we talk with them about their values, they’ll see themselves in words like Human-Centered, Partnership, Equity, and Excellence. They’ll also see in these words a challenge to improve—personally and organizationally—in pursuit of a better impact on people and better business outcomes.
When we ask others about them, they’ll describe a person of remarkable capability, diligence, and focus. They’ll tell us about someone who:
- Sees and understands the objectives and challenges of people they work with and people they impact.
- Makes adjustments to what they’re doing based on what they learn.
