Leadership & management development

At BDO, we believe the best leaders build on their natural strengths to fulfil their leadership potential – and the most effective leaders embrace the idea that leadership is a pathway -- not merely a list of skills. That’s why BDO has expanded the concept of a standard curriculum to its framework of four living competencies. Each competency is an inter-related cluster of skills that define and support today’s leaders. These competencies are as follows:

 

PERSONAL INTEGRITY & AWARENESS	RELATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS	STRATEGIC & BUSINESS CLARITY	OPERATIONAL IMPACT
Self awareness Role clarity Personal efficiency Emotional intelligence	Interpersonal communication Team dynamics Motivation & engagement Conflict resolution	Strategic discipline Being accountable Planning & organising Creating & managing a vision	Performance & results Change management Financial acumen Sustainability

 

While there are some foundational leadership skills that can be taught, the type of authentic and high-impact leadership we help to foster also involves mastery of a set of robust leadership competencies that are best nurtured through hands-on learning and group experiences. BDO’s Leadership and Management Development Pathway has been created to tackle critical elements of leadership development and enable an understanding of the progression from supervisor to mid-level management, which is reflected in the sequence of skill building along a typical career path.
