What is the City's Leadership Capability Framework?

The Leadership Capability Framework helps the City attract, recruit, develop and retain skilled employees. It helps tie together the key skills, behaviours, and attributes that employees need to be successful in their role and to perform effectively across the organisation.

You can use the framework across:

  • Recruitment and selection practices that focus on assessing a person’s capabilities at the level needed for a role. 
  • Leadership development programs targeting specific leadership capabilities. 
  • Workforce planning by identifying current and future workforce capability needs and gaps. 
  • Learning and development initiatives aligned to meeting specific capabilities. 
  • Career and succession planning conversations and activities that focus on helping staff progress to new roles. 
  • Performance and development practices that help managers and staff to have a clear shared understanding of role expectations and areas of development. 

Understanding the Leadership Capability Framework

The City's Leadership Capability Framework describes 16 capabilities across four core groups: Personal Qualities, Relationship Focused, Business Enabling and Fosters Purpose.

Each capability sets out the expected behaviours and attitudes for employees at the City, across five key levels: employee, emerging leaders, operational leaders, people and program leaders, and strategic leaders.

In addition to these core capabilities, roles may have qualification requirements, and/or specific occupation capabilities.
