We have left the competencies that focus on departmental or organizational areas. Now we enter the land of individual focus. And if you notice, the focus is on YOU--it is YOU that is doing the modeling and nurturing in this competency.
So how would you rank yourself in this area? ARE you developing your own leadership skills -- or just resting on the laurels of what you learned in college, or in that leadership training by what's-his-name a few years ago, or what you saw your first supervisor do back in the day, or in that workshop they sent you to when you first became a manager... Uh-oh...
What's out there? Those of you that have been honing and developing your leadership skills in preparation to make the next step up the ladder--tell us what you've done, or are currently doing, to develop those appropriate leadership skills.
