I like this!
If you’re up for additional suggestions then maybe:
– something about seeking out and then rigorously using evidence to inform policy and action? This should include a high level of user/citizen collaboration (I think it is worth spelling that out?)
– something about the political overview? Informing and implementing the will of the people as expressed through their democratic representatives? (you may feel that this is in the “civil service values” but I suspect some of the other things you spell out are too.)
– something about never forgetting whose money it is!
And then if you’re talking about senior leadership there may be something that is less about the individuals doing these thing themselves to a high standard (though they should) but starts to become about the way in which they create an environment in which these these happen.
Nice 🙂 Thank you! Heres the original, for context https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/405453/CS_leadership_statement_3__1_.pdf [PDF download – meah

And how about the leader in your environment, mate? 😀
How about it?
