Competencies



General


Build Positive Relationships
Tries to build effective working relationships with fellow work group members. Asks for and provides information to clarify situations. Tries to expand on original ideas, enhances others' ideas, and contributes own ideas about the issues at hand. Places higher priority on work group goals rather than on own goals. Seeks agreement from fellow work group members to support ideas; explains value of actions. Establishes good interpersonal relationships by helping people in work group feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions (enhances self-esteem, empathizes, involves, discloses, supports).

Communication
Makes an effort to clarify purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Tries to keep the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. With guidance from others frames messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; tries to use terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Occasionally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; tries to present message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Interprets messages from others and responds appropriately; at times requires guidance from others on how to respond.

Continuous Learning
Occasionally seeks and uses feedback from fellow work group members and direct supervisor and a limited number of other sources of information to identify appropriate areas for learning. Identifies and participates in routine learning activities (e.g., courses, reading, self-study, coaching, experiential learning) that help fulfill learning needs. Participates in learning activities in a way that makes the most of the learning experience (e.g., takes notes, asks questions, critically analyzes information, keeps on-the-job application in mind, does required tasks). Tries to put new knowledge, understanding, or skill to practical use on the job; furthers learning through trial and error. With guidance from direct supervisor, puts self in unfamiliar or uncomfortable situation in order to ask questions and learn.

Customer Focus
Understands customers and their needs and considers such factors in the completion of day-to-day job tasks and responsibilities; supports more experienced employees as required to develop and sustain productive customer relationships; uses available information to understand customer related circumstances, problems, and needs; considers how day-to-day actions will affect customers; responds quickly to help more experienced employees meet customer needs and resolve problems.

Innovation
Seeks alternative ways to view or define problems. Tries to combine ideas in unique ways or makes connections between disparate ideas; explores different lines of thought; views situations from multiple perspectives; participates in brainstorming approaches/solutions. Focuses on areas for innovation and suggests solutions that address meaningful issues in own work area. Technical
