How to use a leader success profile

A leader success profile defines the leadership elements required to be outstanding within a leadership role. It does not replace the position description. As the leader success profile outlines the ideal characteristics of the role, it should be considered aspirational. A person would be expected to meet / develop many of the characteristics identified in the leader success profile, but not all. For a more comprehensive outline on how to use the leader success profile please refer to the Leader success profile - User guide.
