2.1 Emotionally literate and trauma-informed conduct management develops a healthy and continuously evolving workforce. Measurable commitment to honesty, integrity, and fair dealing creates a positive organizational culture and high-functioning organizations resulting from management conduct. Management accountability and transparency creates growth, innovation, and creativity in a conscious and collaborative workforce. 2.2 The establishment of a recognized and efficient framework of leadership and managerial behaviors sets clear expectations for effective management practices and delineates what employees can anticipate in their professional experience. 2.3 Seeking these standards during the promotion process ensures that managers and leaders are held accountable to these expectations even before assuming their roles, thereby positioning them for success. The training not only reinforces their understanding of the expectations but also enhances their competence to fulfill them. 2.4 It is common for individuals to make mistakes and subsequently require coaching that both corrects and encourages them. Specialized training in how to provide and potentially receive such coaching will help mitigate professional and humane repercussions for both managers and their subordinates. 2.5 The outcomes of using standardized modern management conduct and accountability shall be measurable and subject to continuous improvement.
