what role models do:

Open up to ideas, asking questions & challenging respectfully.
Look for ways to continually improve & taking risks to make it happen.
Additionally, what leaders do:
Challenge the status quo & encourage others to do the same.
Create a safe environment where teams can share new ideas.
Enable others to make improvements.
Actions that compromise our values
Our commitment to being EXCELLENT would be affected if someone was NOT being INNOVATIVE.
Reluctance to consider new or creative ways of completing tasks or goals.
Dismissing ideas without understanding them first.
Being opposed to adapting & changing to help our role or team.
Focusing just on here & now not creating an environment where others can be creative.
Being risk adverse without reason.

Being a barrier to change without understanding it first.
“I’m always looking for creative ways to improve student experience, I recently introduced a digital system which was user friendly and gave targeted feedback.”
