Two words that we hear often today, in politics and business, are Leadership and Sustainability.

Organizations as well as government need those who can successfully lead others and sustain success. When choosing a leader for public or private sector work we must look for certain criteria or core competencies. These competencies will serve as the foundation and metric to ensure leaders can create environments that are productive and sustainable.

There are eight core competencies every leader should posses: Communication, Leadership, Adaptability, Task Management, Relationships, Production, Development of Others and most importantly Personal Mastery. These competencies ensure that a leader is well rounded and fit to lead.
