IN A COMMUNITY OF CHARACTER .................
Trust is the name of the game.
We celebrate the accomplishments of others rather than being threatened by them.
We don’t take advantage of the kindness of others.
Folks do their own work, and never take credit for that of others.
We look for people to do things right, not wrong.
Tough topics are discussed face-to-face, not behind people’s backs.
We don’t tolerate discrimination based on gender, religion, faith, ability, sexual orientation, size, age, race or ethnicity.
Treating others’ property with care is how it’s done.
There are always two sides to an argument.
We leave a place better than we found it.
Folks ask, “How are you?” And, stick around for the answer.
We listen to the views of others, even if we don’t agree.
Interruptions are infrequent. After all, it’s not just about us.
We rise to the challenge instead of hiding behind what’s “safe.”
Folks want to improve the world and enjoy it, too.
We admit when we’re wrong instead of playing the blame game and learn from our mistakes.
Respect is earned—and mutual.
We treat people fairly, kindly and with compassion.
There’s a desire to go beyond first impressions.
We teach one another and willingly accept what we can learn from one another.
