The DOBCEL Leadership Competency Framework is made up of two key elements:

Seven core leadership competencies

These competencies describe leadership behaviours that apply to everyone, regardless of role, setting, or level of responsibility.

Domain-specific behaviours

These describe how leadership is expressed across different domains, including:

• Leading Self
• Leading Others
• Leading Schools

Together, the core competencies and domains recognise that leadership is shared, contextual, and expressed in different ways across the system.
