Competencies



General


Collaboration
Mentors others in working effectively and cooperatively with team leaders, managers and internal employees; consistently and proactively establishes and maintains good working relationships by actively involving team leaders, managers and internal employees and helping them feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. Places higher priority on team and organization goals than on own goals. Offers to provide assistance and/or thought leadership to other project team leaders when doing so would benefit the organization.

Communication
Consistently and proactively clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Guiders others in keeping their audience thoroughly engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames highly complex and or advanced information in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Regularly seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Attends to both direct and indirect messages from others; correctly interprets messages and responds appropriately. Mentors and advises fellow project leads and other internal employees on effective communication techniques.

Decision Making
Consistently and proactively recognizes a wide range of highly advanced or unusually complex issues, problems, or opportunities across the organization; determines whether action is needed. Adeptly identifies the need for and collects information to better understand issues, problems, and opportunities; has advanced knowledge in integrating unusually complex information from a variety of sources; detects unusually complex trends, associations, and cause-effect relationships. Guides others in creating relevant options for addressing problems/opportunities and achieving desired outcomes; can be relied upon to formulate clear decision criteria; evaluates options by considering implications and consequences; chooses an effective option; implements decisions reliably and initiates action within a reasonable time; includes team leaders, managers and internal employees in the decision-making process as warranted to obtain good information, make the most appropriate decisions, and ensure buy-in and understanding of the resulting decisions.

Systems Thinking
Consistently and proactively evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet program/project objective(s); identifies non-value-adding components and barriers. Expertly formulates complex change strategies; frequently seeks input from others to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Makes appropriate changes to job/role structures and processes by assigning accountability appropriately, communicating effectively, focusing on new skill development, and integrating with related systems or processes. Uses accurate measurement systems to monitor the implementation. Technical
