You know when and how to ask for support and appropriately involve others in the hierarchy to help you solve issues. You manage problems and crises in a way that instills calm and inspires team and client confidence.
Strong communications and relationship management skills: You instill credibility and legitimacy in your relationships with clients. You connect with people around you by listening to their needs and engaging them in a way that they see those needs being met. You can deliver tough messages in a way that preserves the relationship but results in changed behaviours or differences in approaches. You are equally comfortable and adept at connecting with people in short hallway conversations or big boardroom presentations. You also can communicate clearly and influentially in writing.
People Development Skills: You are known as a great talent manager. You play an active role in recruitment and hiring, and you are skilled at matching people to the roles you need them to play. You have demonstrated a capacity to lead and motivate others in a way that triggers confidence and allows them to deliver great results. You co-create clear objectives with your teams, provide concrete and constructive feedback and coach them to not only secure immediate results but develop their skills so they can make an even greater contribution in future.
Strong Business Development skills: You understand the business drivers needed to build and sustain an effective business and you create and execute business plans with ease. You actively partner with other leaders in the company to build the capability necessary to feed the short and long terms sales cycles. You offer expertise and leadership that will contribute to the company’s company’s overall value proposition.
Great Team Skills: You are both a team leader and a team player. You work with others to create an effective working environment and contribute positively to the organization’s culture. You contribute to knowledge sharing and capture within the team. You know how and when to step in and lead the team. You are equally comfortable defining your role as a member in support of others, actively connecting with others to understand their needs and sharing your knowledge and expertise in ways that ensure everyone around you can succeed.
Cultural Agility: You have a demonstrated ability to quickly, comfortably, and successfully work in cross-cultural and international environments.
Resilience: You will work in a very dynamic environment. The people we work with are facing the most challenging problems that the world offers. It’s emotional work and will require you to be extremely self-aware and self-regulating. Success in this environment will come with the ability to cope effectively with the stress and challenges present when working with other people who may be learning to cope with what’s in front of them.
