While I am a big fan of performance measures and Key Performance Indicators, I believe we all need to look at building strong teams, to at continual learning to help everyone on the team master the skills now needed.

When you are your authentic self, practicing holistic values, you will find your leadership meets and exceeds the 20 competencies described. You will develop your own brand, adapt and accept change while hopefully taking care of you.
