Today our show is all about the issues faced by the new talent coming into the workforce. There is a lot of young talent coming into the workforce, but this new group is not fully equipped to handle the challenges of organizations. Managers and leaders in companies are concerned that there are no future leaders for the company to look to. Today we want to really look at management and leadership competencies, and how to impart that knowledge on incoming workers.

Core competency is vital to a company’s performance. Core competency is not only related to just the company, but also each individual employee. Competencies cover three broad categories: organizational competencies, personal competencies, and job role competencies. A successful combination of these three categories is a great way to not only advance your career, but also create progress within a company. There are many different competencies within these three categories that are applicable to all levels of employment.

Many businesses today have changed the traditional model of employment and have used these competencies to really outline what a job entails. Promotional job opportunities are everywhere, but can depend on the flatness of the business itself. There are many organization styles, from small communities to large corporations, and defining these core competencies help define the overall view of the company. Providing resources to foster the way core competencies helps create future company leaders. A strong foundation in these competencies gives a company and organization a chance to create a level of understanding that cannot be grasped outside. Preparing an individual for the next level of management has a lot of small factors, but can be done with teamwork.
