We build trust through accountability and transparency. We take ownership of our work and responsibility for the results. We consistently deliver on what we say we will do. We are transparent with our stakeholders and each other.

We approach work and each other with CURIOSITY. We seek to learn and innovate. We are open to new ideas, information, and perspectives and are willing to change our minds. We succeed through the meritocracy of ideas.

We practice CONSTRUCTIVE CANDOR. We reach understanding through open, transparent, and respectful dialogue. We communicate clearly when we give feedback, have difficult discussions, or share a competing view. We commit to decisions and move forward together knowing our views have been heard. 

We strive for CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. We evaluate our business and investment practices, as well as ourselves, for ways we can increase our effectiveness. We build efficient processes and eliminate needless bureaucracy. Each of us is in a position to make the IMD better.
