The Leadership Competency Framework describes observable leadership behaviours that support effective practice and can be developed over time.
The framework:
- Applies across roles and contexts
- Focuses on behaviours rather than personality, style or position
- Supports reflection, learning, and growth
- Complements professional standards by describing how effective practice is enacted
The framework is not:
- A checklist to be completed once
- Limited to formal leadership positions
- Prescriptive in how it should be used
- A performance rating or appraisal tool. It may be used, where helpful, to support reflective conversations about setting expectations, goal setting or growth or development, but it does not determine ratings or outcomes and does not replace existing review processes.
Leadership development is ongoing and contextual. Individuals may demonstrate different competencies at different times and in different contexts.
