Select Strategically-Aligned Leadership Competencies
Increase leadership capabilities by selecting brand-aligned competencies and developing to them.
- Developing leaders has been the #1 organizational priority for three years running according to our HR Trends and Priority survey.
- Leadership development has taken top spot because good leaders have a significant impact on agility, employee attraction and retention, organizational alignment, and financial performance. Further, current leadership development efforts are widely seen as ineffective.
- Establishing formal leadership competencies is the first step in both understanding what your organization needs and closing leadership gaps.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Leadership competencies should be easy to understand, develop, and implement. They should guide all leaders with not only what to do, but also how and why to do it. Many experts agree that the majority of leadership competencies will be roughly the same across industries and organizations.
- McLean & Company’s seven strategic leadership competencies have been developed from a future-forward perspective aligned with general business deliverables to ensure measurability and accountability for the program and from leaders.
- Since organizations are unique and differ from each other, we do not advocate a “cookie cutter” approach. Your organizational strategic imperatives will determine which competencies from our framework will best drive and support your future goals.
Impact and Result
- Competencies lay a foundation for leadership performance expectations-setting, measurement, and development investment.
