Identification with Greenpeace goals and supports its values: Understanding of and commitment to Greenpeace’s core values and a passion for delivering Greenpeace’s mission.

Energy

● Demonstrate a positive mindset and solutions-oriented attitude: Where others see problems, pitfalls, and potential for disaster, you might see opportunity and new possibilities to make a difference. You are basing your ideas on the assumption: There are solutions out there, and we just have to work on them. But if it is not worth solving, let us not waste time on it.

● Demonstrate stamina and resilience: You are dependable under pressure and strong despite adversity. You can deal with complex or difficult situations with a cool head. You do not give up when the going gets tough. You accept when mistakes are made, learn from them, and move on. You can recover quickly after failures, disappointments, or dead ends. 

Energise

● Appreciation of the impact and importance of people-powered campaigning: with a commitment to drive engagement at all levels 

Expertise

● Demonstrate the ability to see a situation accurately with a broad set of perspectives: You are able to make the “right” judgement calls and decisions.

You know how the organisation is structured, how decisions are made, and how information flows. Furthermore, you have a high level of understanding of the changing external context in which Greenpeace operates and the ability to make a judgement about how to respond. This is why you can “read” factual evidence as well as the environment in a meaningful manner and thus help devise a plan of action. Sometimes you “see” what others do not see.

Execute

● Being a role model for accountability and straightforwardness: High sense of personal accountability and the ability to hold others accountable.

● Knowledge sharing: Uses formal, informal and systematic methods to share information with others to increase organisational effectiveness.
