Fairness is all about impartiality and the absence of favoritism.

I treat others justly.

I hear other points of view with openness.

I expect respect for my perspective.

I care more about doing right than being right.

I believe in fair play.

I have a win/win attitude.

Dignity, impartiality, openness, respect, fairness – these are all traits that are important to the success of the Team. Sometimes we must sacrifice our immediate desires to support another’s growth. It may be uncomfortable in the moment, but the outcome establishes a culture of wellbeing that models various aspects of fairness. You see fairness doesn’t mean that expectations will be exactly the same for each person, it means positioning each member of the team to reach his or her highest potential. In this way, entire the Team wins!

Have a wonderful week and strive to ‘care more about doing right than being right’ in your journey!
