True Leadership Competency MODEL
THE competence model for effective sustainable leadership.
The True Leadership COMPETENCY MODEL provides a proven foundation for modern, sustainable leadership. It defines key competencies for ethical conduct and long-term business success and helps companies develop their leaders in a targeted manner.
What is the value of a competency model?
A well-founded competency model for leaders is a strategic governance tool. It integrates strategy, culture, HR processes, and individual development into a coherent system. Organizations without such a model manage leadership implicitly and, as a result, often do so inconsistently, subjectively, and inefficiently.
The competency model describes the skills, attitudes, and behaviors that leaders in a company need to lead teams successfully and responsibly. It makes leadership expectations binding and measurable—from “self-management” to “analytical skills.” In doing so, it also provides a binding foundation for the objective development, selection, and evaluation of leaders.
Why do organizations need a professional competency model?
A well-founded competency model for leaders serves as a strategic framework for effective and sustainable leadership. It translates corporate strategy, values, and cultural guidelines into concrete, observable competencies, thereby making leadership expectations clear, binding, and measurable. As a normative reference system, it creates objectivity and consistency in key HR processes—from selection and succession planning through feedback and performance evaluation to targeted leadership development. At the same time, it supports organizations in systematically developing leadership behavior and aligning it specifically with long-term business success, ethical conduct, and organizational sustainability.
