Recognizing Context and Acknowledging Heritage

It's crucial to take a moment to recognize the context of the environment in which leadership takes place. Acknowledging the traditional territories and cultures on which one operates establishes respect and awareness.

Performance: Clear definitions and expectations are the foundation of success.
