Leading at CGINTL - Values in Action

• Accountability The PM owns the result. Our Leaders take responsibility for the success of the vision, mission, and strategy - and we hold a no-excuse-here mindset. On a FFP task order where savings and overruns both stay with us, that ownership is financial as well as operational.
• Integrity & Trust Always the first to tell the truth. The PM surfaces a slipping deliverable or an adoption problem to the COR before the COR finds it - that is how trust is earned, and trust is the foundation of a change managementengagement.
• Organizational Influence Business acumen through organizational agility, political savvy, and time management. Reading ACF's political landscape and sequencing change accordingly is the job.
• Marketplace Ministry This work is a calling. Our client's mission is the well-being of children and families; every hour of acquisition capability we build is an hour that mission runs better.
