    Treating everyone fairly with the same respect regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion and more importantly these days, political affiliation. Seems employees who align themselves with republicans are viewers as lower class employees who are not intelligent which makes for very uncomfortable working situations

    Resists mansplaining. Listens. Invites female employees to give feedback, especially in male-dominated meetings.
