Skill in addressing unsafe or unrealistic expectations appropriately and assertively.
Demonstrated accountability, humility, and self-awareness, including a willingness to identify, discuss, correct, and prevent errors.
Ability to design, execute, and evaluate scientifically sound experiments that support strategic research and operational objectives.
Ability to translate strategic objectives into operational plans and activities using initiative, sound judgment, and critical thinking.
Ability to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and recommend appropriate alternatives.
