Indispensable Workplace Competencies: Getting to the top

Episode #251 // There are a range of competencies required to forge a successful career. On this podcast, of course, we focus predominantly on how to develop and improve your leadership capability to uplift your team’s performance.

Leadership competency gives you leverage: it enables you to multiply and accelerate the results you can achieve through others. And the higher up you go, the more valuable this capability becomes.

But there are a number of other vital ingredients that I speak about from time to time, that are crucial building blocks in your success ecosystem.

In this episode, I take a more holistic look at what I consider to be indispensable workplace competencies: from business acumen and work ethic, to politics and influence.

I also look at what the most ambitious, up-and-coming MBA students at one of the world’s top business schools perceive to be critical competencies for 21st century business… and I integrate all of this into a simple checklist of development areas so that you can work out what to focus on to produce sustainable performance.
