Competency Development

A competency is an underlying characteristic of an individual that is causally related to the standard of superior performance in a job or situation. Underlying characteristic means the competency is a fairly deep and enduring part of a person’s personality and can predict behaviour.

Each job requires a set of specific competencies and there are standardized requirements to perform specific role. Competency is a predisposition to behave in ways shown to be associated with getting successful outcomes. It underlies and defines patterns in an individual’s observable behaviour on the job.

Detailed comparisons of managers and leaders across different functions, different industries and different cultures reveal that superior performing managers of all types and levels share a general profile of behavioural competencies.
