Our Behaviours

Our Behaviours are underpinned by our GCSB and NZSIS values, expectations for leadership in the public service and our combined commitment to a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace.

Communicate 

We foster positive interactions through open and honest conversations. We consider and adjust our communication approach, listen carefully, prioritise seeking understanding, and resolve misunderstandings quickly and respectfully. 

Collaborate 

We recognise and embrace the strength of working together. We seek input from others, provide space for diverse views, stay open-minded to new ideas, encourage information sharing, manage conflict respectfully and foster lasting connections. 

Solve 

We adapt to our changing environment with curiosity, creativity and commitment to continuous improvement. We embrace experimentation, learn from setbacks, overcome obstacles, and balance risk-taking with careful consideration of alternatives and potential consequences

Achieve 

We are committed to delivering exceptional outcomes. We set clear goals, plan and prioritise effectively and take personal accountability for delivering results. We own our decisions and are open to reassessing and adjusting our approach when necessary

Lead 

We recognise the importance of leadership and influence at every level. We understand our role, step up to lead when needed, and are committed to delivering on personal responsibilities and collective goals. We foster a positive work environment through self-awareness and understanding of others.

Develop 

We challenge ourselves to reach our potential and help to bring out the best in others. We aim to perform at our best, value feedback and support each other in identifying opportunities to grow.
