THE LEADERSHIP COMPETENCY PLAYBOOK: DEPUTY GM / DIRECTOR / FUNCTION LEADER

Most leadership books tell you what good leadership looks like. This one gives you a system for building it.The Leadership Competency Playbook — N-1 Position is written for the layer that turns strategy into results: the deputy general managers, directors, and function leaders who run major parts of the organization and form the bench from which its most senior leaders are drawn.It is built on the Leadership Harmony Index™ — a complete architecture of leadership made up of four leadership domains, eight competency families, and forty competencies. Every competency is a full, thirteen-part development report: a brief definition, why it is critical, observable behavioral indicators, three proofs of mastery, a leadership rhythm, a real-world business case, ten practical development tools, a stakeholder guide, a 90-day development journey, coaching questions, a monthly checklist, resource recommendations, and the risks of leaving the competency underdeveloped.This is a desk reference you work with, not a book you simply read. Assess where you stand across the forty competencies, choose the three to five that matter most right now, and run a focused 90-day plan — then repeat. Each quarter sharpens a different edge of your leadership.It is written for leaders at the N-1 position who want to develop themselves systematically and prepare for the most senior role; for the senior leaders who develop them and need a shared standard to coach against; and for HR leaders and executive coaches who want an evidence-based, measurable language for leadership instead of intuition.Leadership is not a position but a practice. This Playbook is the system for building it. Read more
