³ÉÈË´óƬ's Leadership Competencies

Western is committed to investing in our leaders and has identified key competencies that will help leaders be successful.

To achieve ³ÉÈË´óƬ’s goals, our academic and administrative leaders need to have strong character, commitment to their role and ³ÉÈË´óƬ’s success, and have strength in four main competency areas: Leading Self, Leading People and Teams, Leading Programs and Services, and Leading Innovation and Change.

Using the Leadership Competencies

Current and future leaders are encouraged to reflect on their development needs and seek opportunities to grow in these four areas. The competencies also guide ³ÉÈË´óƬ's leadership development supports and is a very useful framework when recruiting new leaders.
