Remember, these behaviors aren't just about individual performance – they're crucial for TGLF's overall success.
By embracing these principles, you contribute to a positive, productive work environment where innovation thrives and we can collectively achieve our mission.
Your commitment to these practices demonstrates your value as a team member and supports TGLF's unique approach to learning and global impact.
- Align with organizational decisions: Understand that every task, instruction, and decision is part of a larger strategy. Even if you don't always agree, trust in the process and follow through. If you have concerns, raise them constructively through appropriate channels.
- Cultivate organizational belonging: Strive to understand and embody TGLF's mission. Your commitment to the organization's goals is crucial for collective success. Engage actively in team activities and discussions to foster a sense of community.
- Contribute constructively: While healthy debate is valuable, ensure your input is aimed at progress, not obstruction. If you disagree with a decision, propose alternative solutions rather than simply opposing.
- Seek help proactively: If you're stuck on a task, don't wait until deadlines loom. Reach out early for guidance. This demonstrates initiative and commitment to quality work.
- Balance independence and support: While it's important to be self-reliant, don't hesitate to ask for help when truly needed. However, first consult available resources and instructions to show respect for your colleagues' time.
- Commit fully, regardless of hours: Whether full-time or part-time, your dedication to quality and the organization's mission should be unwavering. Every contribution matters, regardless of hours worked, whether you are an occasion consultant doing a few hours of work, part-time staff juggling other commitment, or full-time dedicated staff.
- Prioritize internal responsiveness: While external relationships are important, remember that your primary commitment is to TGLF. Be as responsive and attentive to internal managers and colleagues as you are to external partners.
- Practice meticulous attention to detail: Take thorough notes, track assigned tasks carefully, and double-check your work. If you miss something, acknowledge it and implement systems to improve.
- Embrace self-reflection: Regularly examine your own practices and be open to feedback. Continuous improvement is a cornerstone of TGLF's culture.
- Own your mistakes: If you make an error or miss a deadline, acknowledge it promptly. Use it as a learning opportunity rather than becoming defensive or trying to cover it up.
- Communicate proactively: If you need to be unavailable for any reason, discuss this with your manager in advance. Clear communication prevents misunderstandings and shows respect for the team.
- Tackle all assigned tasks: Don't avoid tasks you find challenging or hope they'll be forgotten. Instead, discuss any concerns openly with your manager and work together to find solutions.
