Leadership Competency Framework

A leadership competency framework is a set of competencies crucial for ascertaining success in leadership positions. A leadership competency framework is modeled after an organization’s vision and strategy to enable leaders to focus on expected behaviors and results. Thus, every organization has a different leadership framework that propels the organization and its leadership forward.

A leadership framework is a blueprint of competencies that establishes a benchmark for performance in the larger organizational context. A leadership competency model is useful when hiring or developing new leaders. Usually, a leadership framework consists of technical skills, past work experience, educational qualifications, and behaviors, attitudes, qualities and traits that make a successful leader.
