“Leadership is applicable to all facets of life: a competency that you can learn to expand your perspective, set the context of a goal, understand the dynamics of human behavior and take the initiative to get to where you want to be.”
~John G Agno

Recruiting, developing and retaining talent in an industry is critical to the success to your company especially in economic uncertainties. These leadership activities are essential components of every successful manager and executive who has the responsibility to help grow and develop talent.

I recently partnered with company to design a competency matrix and succession plan for all of the key executive positions. This powerful process will lead to future success; bringing amazing clarity to vagueness that often permeates an organization.

WHY:

• Visibility to career pathing / succession planning
• Provide skills assessment and the gap analysis
• Improve Organization /Department/Individual strengths
• Foster employee development; enables coaching / feedback
• Ties to functional/ team component of company model

WHAT:

Competency
A competency describes the knowledge, skill, attributes and / or behaviors that clearly defines the requirement for success in a job.

Functional/ Technical:
Demonstrates appropriate depth of understanding and skill in current functional area.

BOTTOM LINE: The differentiation between what you can and cannot learn on the job.

HOW:

• Complete coverage for all proficiencies
• List necessary skills, for successful performance, for each position
• Ensure universally accepted by stakeholders
• Tie into company functional/technical competency and overall performance
management
• Develop communications materials

To learn more about these POWERFUL programs please call or email me for a sample competency grid.
