• know how to communicate more effectively with team members of different genders, backgrounds and circumstances;
• know how to include the perspectives of team members of different genders, backgrounds and circumstances into decision-making and problem-solving; and
• work more effectively in mentorship relationships with team members of different genders, backgrounds and circumstances to transfer trade and workplace knowledge to the next generation.
