Leadership frameworks

The Commission supports building and sustaining strong APS wide leadership and developing a shared understanding of the type of leadership required by the APS at the different levels from Executive Level 1 to SES Band 3.

Using the core criteria of the Senior Executive Leadership Capability framework the Commission assists agencies as they address their particular requirements for leadership, management and technical skills, by allowing them to draw on and adapt APS-wide experience and expertise.

The following resources on leadership capability development are available from the Commission.

Senior Executive Leadership Capability framework

The Framework identifies the five core criteria for high performance by senior executives. Each of the criteria heads a group of inter-related capabilities. The Framework does not describe the functions or responsibilities of particular senior executive roles.
