Competency Development Programs
The R&DE Women’s Leadership Development Program (WLDP) is based on the Core Competency Development Model.
This research-based competency model serves as a guide for individuals to identify and define development goals, “beginning with an end in mind.”
About the Core Competency Development Model
There are three main components of the Core Competency Development Model: Self, People, and Business. These overarching categories encompass 12 core competencies that differentiate among individuals at the emerging leader, emerging executive, executive, and c-suite stages of their career.
Developing Self
This component focuses on individual development through assessment, gap analysis, career map, and personal brand identification.
Developing People
Shifting the lens to focus on teams, this component emphasizes communication strategies to build high-performing teams, coaching and mentoring techniques, and skills on understanding the importance of crucial conversations.
Developing Business
Identify focused objectives around financial acumen, strategic thinking, and driving for results.
