Charter
The IAOMT is a trusted Academy of allied professionals providing scientific resources to support new levels of integrity and safety in health care.
We, of the IAOMT, have declared ourselves being a High Performance Leadership Team. By virtue of this declaration, we have committed ourselves to upholding and embodying the following Ground Breaking Principles in every action we take, every conversation we have, every decision we make:
Integrity
We will act with integrity, individually and as a team, at all times and in all that we say and do. This means honoring one's word and one's commitments, doing as one says and as one promises. It means being whole and complete with each commitment we make and each decision that we agree upon, it means acting in an aligned and consistent fashion.
Responsibility
Each one of us, individually and as a team, have recognized and declared that we as leaders and members of the IAOMT, are responsible for every act and decision rendered in the past, the present and the future of IAOMT. We have acknowledged that, as our decisions and actions affect the IAOMT, its associates and its customers; we are cause in the matter.
Accountability
We have committed ourselves, individually and as a team, to the concept of accountability and all that it implies. We freely give up the right to "not listen" in all areas for which we are accountable, and we recognize that as a result, we have the absolute last say in those areas.
Trust
We have committed ourselves, individually and as a team, in relation to each other and to those to whom we give our trust, to create, build, maintain and when necessary – to restore the bond of trust, which we do not give lightly.
And whom do we need to be to promote health in the next 25 years?
We all need to adopt a strategic way of being Masters of Communication.
By declaring ourselves Being a High Performance Leadership Team, by committing ourselves to living these Ground Breaking Principles in all that we do, by applying these concepts every day towards the fulfillment of our existence, we will live our Strategic Way of Being Masters of Communication in the new world era.
