Leadership Competency Model

SWE's leadership competency model was created through member interviews along with a survey of SWE leaders and those involved in training SWE leaders. The model was developed with the intention of guiding our professional development of future and current leaders. As SWE continues to grow its professional development program, the competency model will serve as the basis for developing leadership skill-sets. In addition to informing our process of developing leadership curricula, the competency model will be used to help members reflect and assess where they may need to hone their leadership skills. The leadership model as it currently stands consists of five areas:

• Communication
• Self Management & Development
• Business Acumen
• Coaching, Mentoring & Sponsorship
• Leadership Abilities
