Results Mindset:
• It’s a passion for performance and excellence with integrity. Performance defined as uniquely Kiwi and world-class customer
experience. This is competitive leadership. It’s placing a fresh emphasis on innovation, stepping out of our comfort zones to
challenge the status quo.
Customer Focus & Excellence:
• It’s externally focused on customers and ensuring our costs add value to their experience. We strip out the costs and
complexity that customers are simply not prepared to pay for.
Accountability and Responsibility:
• This is performance-driven leadership. “I will deliver against KPIs, holding myself to the highest standards. I will also hold
other people accountable—by setting clear expectations and then giving feedback on progress. It’s taking responsibility for
my own portfolio and accountabilities, not just by delivering my results but by helping my team deliver.” Finally, it’s personally
driving change and using operational discipline to deliver on the promise.
