Ensuring Organizational Results - Connecting Competencies to Mission, Vision, and Strategy

Leadership should support the healthy functioning of organizations. A leadership competency model identifies leadership behaviors that produce the desired results for the organization. Therefore, the leadership competencies that make up your competency model should be directly linked to your organization's mission, vision, and strategy.

Establishing this link ensures that leadership competencies are in line with your values, reflect the desired future state of your organization, take into account the market your organization serves, capitalize on your organization's points of differentiation, and ensure that work gets done in an efficient manner.

Before launching your 360 feedback campaign, the LeaderNation portal provides space for you to summarize critical aspects of your organization's functioning. Attending to this section will ensure that you focus on what is important to your organization when you create your leadership competency model. The text you insert should address some of the following key questions:
