3.      Do I role-play based on the person(s) I'm with?

4.      Am I the same person in the spotlight as I am when I'm alone?

5.      Do I quickly admit wrongdoing without being pressed to do so?

6.      Do I put people ahead of my personal agenda?

8.      Do I make difficult decisions, even when they have a personal cost attached to them?

9.      When I have something to say about people, do I talk to them or about them?

10.    Am I accountable to at least one other person for what I think, say, and do (Maxwell, 2003, p. 61)?
