-
Accountability - Taking ownership of your actions, decisions, and outcomes. This means meeting commitments, admitting mistakes, and following through without making excuses.
-
Competence - Maintaining the knowledge, skills, and judgment required to perform your role effectively. This includes continuous learning, staying current in your field, and delivering quality work.
-
Integrity - Aligning your actions with ethical standards and stated values - being honest, transparent, and consistent whether or not you are being observed.
These three underpin most broader frameworks of professional conduct across industries, from medicine and law to business and education.
