Competency DEVELOPMENT GUIDES. Introduction to Competencies. Competencies are probably most closely related to abilities.
However, in our craft, the term ability normally means either able to do or a special talent; while competencies relate more to expertise and experience. Competencies can be thought of as the state or quality of being well qualified to perform a task. A person gains competency through education, training, experience, or natural abilities. Klemp (1980, p21) defined competence as “an underlying characteristic of a person which results in effective and/or superior performance on the job.” While a more detailed definition is “a cluster or related knowledge, skills, and attitudes that reflects a major portion of one's job (a role or responsibility), that correlates with performance on the job, that can be measured with well-accepted standards, and that can be improved with training and and development (Parry, 1996, p50) While there are many definitions of competency, most of them have two common elements: David McClelland.

Linking Company Objectives and Personal Performance © VeerBinkski Objectives should align across the oganization.
You're probably familiar with the phrase ‘what gets measured gets done.' Defining and measuring effectiveness – especially the performance of workers – is a critical part of your job as a manager. The question is: How do you define the skills, behaviors, and attitudes that workers need to perform their roles effectively? Some people think formal education is a reliable measure.

Nonprofit Leadership Development Guide - Bridgespan. The Skills Leaders Need at Every Level. A few weeks ago, we were asked to analyze a competency model for leadership development that a client had created.
It was based on the idea that at different points in their development, potential leaders need to focus on excelling at different skills. For example, in their model they proposed that a lower-level manager should focus on driving for results while top executives should focus on developing a strategic perspective. Intuitively, this makes sense, based as it is on the assumption that once people develop a skill, they will continue to exercise it. But, interestingly, we don’t apply it in athletics; athletes continue to practice and develop the same skills throughout their careers. And as we thought about the excellent senior executives we have met, we observed that they are, in fact, all very focused on delivering results, and many of the best lower level managers are absolutely clear about strategy and vision.

Integrity builds trust both within organizations and with the people they serve. It also facilitates timely and effective decision-making. Ethical behavior and graceful management of tough situations are what sets leaders apart, allowing them to earn the trust of their employees and credibility within the field.
