Virtues and principles to explore
Held as inquiry, not as a verdict.
Humility
Center principle

Stewardship
Service
Hold what is built in trust for those who will live with it.
Hope

Stand in uncertainty, where there is room to act — not in optimism or despair.
Starter questions

- 03If a colleague raised this concern tomorrow, how would we receive it as inquiry rather than accusation?
- 04What capacity would we need — in people, in the institution, in the tools — to meet this well?
