We are curious, can make decisions on our own, initiate change, and take action independently. Taking action doesn’t mean we do everything alone. Instead, we know when to collaborate and when to ask for help.
We manage ourselves and don’t need someone to tell us what to do to be productive. Our first instinct is to take the initiative rather than expect a policy or ask for permission.

Further, kindness means we value people over process and performance, psychological safety over chasing numbers, and frequent feedback over worrying about not being liked.
