Core Competencies
Planning
Develops the steps necessary to accomplish long-term goals.
Identifies long and short-term goals and establishes realistic plans
to reach them. Allocates required resources, allows for contingencies
and ensures that plans fit with the larger needs of the organization.
Sets milestones to measure progress along the way. This is distinctly
different from individuals who ignore long-term or short-term goals,
fail to link their goals to broader initiatives, have not set
realistic plans that allow for contingencies, and/or ignore the
importance of milestones that could enhance
motivation in the
pursuit of long-term plans.
Managing Multiple Priorities
Handles multiple assignments and priorities yet still fulfills
all commitments. Readily accepts new responsibilities and adapts well
to changes in procedures. Gives appropriate priorities to various work
demands. This is quite different from those who struggle to stay
focused when faced with multiple priorities; focus only on one or two
job priorities while neglecting others; and/or hesitate, complain or
refuse to accept new procedures or assignments.
Managing Employee Performance
Takes action to ensure that employees fully understand their
roles, responsibilities and performance standards/expectations and
provides ongoing feedback and support as employees strive to achieve
expectations. Engages in two-way conversations throughout the year
that ensure an up-to-date understanding of expectations, performance
gaps and actions required to close any gaps. This is quite different
from failing to adequately communicate expectations, being unaware of
(or choosing to ignore) performance gaps, providing little or no
support in overcoming barriers and failing to provide regular, ongoing
feedback to employees.
Motivating Team
Takes action that results in a high level of morale and
motivation among team members. Assesses and communicates progress on
work goals and objectives as well as the level of morale on the team.
Raises the motivation level of the team and heads off issues that
might lower morale if they were not handled in a timely and effective
manner. This is quite different from those leaders who pay little
attention to team morale and fail to take steps that would positively
affect motivation levels.
Strategic Thinking
Can analyze organizational strengths and weaknesses and then
combine these with knowledge of the industry, market and organization
to develop long-term strategy. This is distinctly different from being
unaware of organizational strengths and weaknesses and/or are being
unable to combine a knowledge of the industry, market and organization
in a fashion that results in a viable long-term strategy.
