3. Leaders set high expectations and demonstrate substantial personal commitment and involvement in quality.
4. Leaders integrate quality values into daily leadership and management and communicate extensively through the leadership structure and to all employees.
5. Leaders review organisational performance-including their own performance as leaders to assess organisational success and progress, and translate review findings into priorities for improvement and opportunities for the organisation as a whole as well as their own leadership effectiveness.
6. Leaders create an environment that fosters legal and ethical behaviour, and a governance system that addresses management and fiscal accountability and protection of stakeholder and stakeholder’s interests.
