RegX: Achieving Regulatory Excellence

The working life of regulators frequently involves varied and often contradictory pressures, high (possibly unachievable) public expectations, a need to maintain effective relationships with their duty holders, and too little or too much or too changeable guidance from their authorising environment.
And yet we all aspire to be excellent at what we do. What makes for an excellent regulator?
