Please send any suggestions on reading I can provide for our executive team to help them understand what it means to identify the management and leadership "core" competencies for a company.

We are embarking on a management and leadership development program that will eventually lead us to succession planning.

We are preparing to do an exercise around defining our 10 ten management and leadership competencies. This is a group that likes to have time to read and process before "doing".

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Bonnie

Before you identify the core competencies you may want to identify managements’ results value chain and want is expected from the management team. If you know want results you are trying to achieve then you can identify the required competencies. Results drive an organization.

Bonnie,

Do you already HAVE 10 leadership competencies or are you required to GROW 10 of them?

Bonnie, look for "The Successful Manager's Handbook" by Personnel Decisions, Inc. It is competency-based and provides a very good model for developing leadership competencies. It should also help you communicate to your management team.

Thanks for the suggestion!
