The Role

• Drives Results: Consistently achieves results, even under tough circumstances. For example, emphasizes the importance of results; encourages a sense of urgency in others; challenges poor outcomes or unproductive behaviours. Helps or encouragement to help others over obstacles
• Ensures Accountability: Holds self and others accountable to meet commitments. For example, accepts responsibility for their own work, both successes and failures. Handles fair share and does not make excuses for problems. Usually meets commitments to others
• Plans and Aligns: Plans and prioritizes work to meet commitments aligned with organizational goals. For example, stays focused on plans and improvises in response to changes, including risks and contingencies. Aligns own team's work with other workgroups. Looks ahead to determine and obtain needed resources to complete plans.
• Manages Complexity: Makes sense of complex, high quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems. For example, consistently looks at complex issues from many angles; obtains a rich and deep understanding; swiftly cuts to the core issue; skilfully separates root causes from symptoms
• Decision Quality: Makes good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward. For example, consistently demonstrates strong judgment; may be sought out by others for expertise and guidance. Takes smart, independent action in urgent and non-routine situations, knows when to escalate for others' involvement
• Manages Ambiguity: Operates effectively, even when things are not certain, or the way forward is not clear. For example, embracing change, staying focused, positive, and effective. Addresses problems without clear solutions, making substantial progress
• Communicates Effectively: Develops and delivers multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences. For example, disseminates knowledge, insights, and updates in a polished, precise, and compelling manner. Demonstrates a deep interest in others' comments. Creates rich documents and reports
• Drives Engagement: Creates a climate where people are motivated to do their best to help the organization achieve its objectives. For example, readily includes people and ensures their efforts are recognized; seeks to learn from their success. Ensures that people understand exactly why the work is important and meaningful
• Manages Conflict: Handles conflict situations effectively, with a minimum of noise. For example, skilfully draws upon a wide range of perspectives to find optimal solutions to challenging situations. Actively identifies areas of agreement, builds solid consensus around them, and leverages these to resolve disagreements
• Balances Stakeholders: Anticipates and balances the needs of multiple stakeholders. For example, shows a strong commitment to identifying all relevant issues and making decisions that maximize outcomes for all key stakeholders. Engages effectively with multiple stakeholders and responds with well-balanced, win-win solutions
• Directs Work: Provides direction, delegating, and removing obstacles to get work done. For example, confirms mutual agreement on accountabilities, fostering strong coordination and minimizing duplicated efforts. Communicates delays or problems early so others can manage their own work schedules effectively
• Cultivates Innovation: Creates new and better ways for the organization to be successful. For example, offers creative ideas, and finds unique connections between previously unrelated elements. Actively encourages and supports others' creativity; builds upon and strengthens new solutions in a positive and collaborative manner.
