Key leadership competencies

11/21/2017

 
According to Egon Zehnder, the key leadership competencies that are crucial for most executive positions at large organizations include the following:
  • results orientation
  • strategic orientation
  • collaboration and influence
  • team leadership
  • developing organizational capabilities
  • change leadership
  • market understanding
  • inclusiveness

When assessing managers who are advancing into leadership positions, consider their curiosity, insight, engagement, and determination. These ​traits are likely to predict how far managers will progress.

​As organizations assess candidates for leadership roles, how are they evaluating current competencies along with potential for growth? How are organizations providing opportunities, coaching, and the support that may be needed to close the gap between their potential and their current competencies?

In an ideal organization, individuals would have opportunities to be matched to rotations or assignments that will help them develop specific leadership competencies.
