At Ambits, we believe that leadership development takes place at three different levels. For each level, we have defined nine competencies.

  1. Strong leaders are, first and foremost, good at leading themselves. It is an absolute condition to be good at leading others and the organization.
  2. If you are good at self-leadership, you can move to lead others, a team, a department, or a project. At this level, we refer to people management competencies.
  3. Good people managers could pass to the third and highest leadership level: leading the organization. At this level, we refer to the competencies needed to contribute to the future success of your organization.
