Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.

Use a broad range of tools, methodologies and techniques to generate new ideas and solve problems.

Use critical thinking to break down complex concepts.

Understand the broader objectives of your project or role and how your work fits into the overall strategy.

Develop a deeper understanding of the business context and how it is changing.

Use reflection to develop self awareness, enhance strengths and address development areas.
