Act with discretion. Keep secrets secret. Match words and deeds. Remember all the promises you make and set realistic expectations so you can meet all of your commitments. Highlight knowledge domain boundaries. If you don’t know something, be willing to admit your lack of knowledge. Make decisions fair and transparent. Always look at things objectively and from all sides of the matter. Hold people accountable for trustworthy behavior. If someone does well, let them know. If they disappoint you, let them know because they will not respect you if you let them walk over you.
