PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS

PERSONAL FORMATION

The emerging, competent, releasing, and transforming standards build on each other, helping to visualise what our next development steps might be

Personal impact and self-awareness

Understanding the impact on others of our use of power and influence

Emerging:

I act to live out Salvation Army values and behaviours. I recognise how power and influence can be misused and I seek to notice this within myself.

Competent:

I create regular opportunities for self-reflection to notice and address areas within myself that need refining. I am aware of the risk of manipulating others and imposing myself or my personal views because of my position.

Releasing:

I model emotional intelligence in my influencing, demonstrating confidence and humility. I address where power is misused by others. I share power with people rather than over people.

Transforming:

I lead by taking responsibility for decisions and actions in my context to ensure they are ethical and can be explained. I use power in a mutually transforming way.

Lifelong learning

Through welcoming developmental feedback and using reflective practice, contributing to personal growth

Emerging:

I engage in personal development, enhanced through discussion, using feedback to learn and adapt my behaviour.

Competent:

I reflect on and apply feedback to my performance. I identify my learning needs and commit to continuous development. I engage with supervision/coaching/mentoring knowing the importance of accountability for my leadership practice.

Releasing:

I model lifelong learning and inspire this in others. I learn from feedback, adapting my practice to support my maturing in leadership.

Transforming:

I drive a learning culture within my context ensuring development opportunities are accessible, also using qualitative and quantitative data and insights.

Managing self

Developing personal wellbeing and resilience, adapting within existing and evolving situations

Emerging:

I am learning to manage my workload along with life’s pressures, starting to apply boundaries.

Competent:

I manage evolving workloads and resolve associated pressure. I create appropriate boundaries, knowing when to say no and when to choose sacrificial service. I create space for those things which feed, fill, and energise me.

Releasing:

I engender resilience through reflecting on and evaluating experiences, enhancing wellbeing, supporting others to manage effectively, avoiding damaging drivenness.

Transforming:

I establish a culture of self-awareness, adaptability, and healthy expectations, mitigating impacts of adversity, building capacity for resilience.
