I appreciate how the article highlights the importance of professionalism in OST programming, particularly in how staff interact with families and partners. The idea that "get this right and everything else gets easier" resonates with me, as I've seen similar principles applied in software development teams where a strong foundation of communication and collaboration can make or break a project. In my experience, establishing clear expectations and protocols for communication can help ensure that everyone is on the same page, which is especially crucial in programs that involve multiple stakeholders. What strategies do you think are most effective for fostering a culture of professionalism in OST programs, and how can these be scaled to larger organizations?
