A Language Shared
Proficiencies create a shared language for performance feedback around the knowledge, skills, and behavior expected beyond ones' functional or technical expertise.
A Foundation Embodied
Leaders must excel at "embodying" proficiencies. Without a foundation of high character and integrity, there can be no expectation that people will follow.
A Strength Displayed
Leaders should have at least one towering strength - so much so that those they lead can easily recognize and identify their signature area of strength.
A Weakness Improved
Leaders should improve to be at least average in their "weaker" areas of leadership. If they have glaring weaknesses, others may perceive a leadership vacuum to be filled.
