naturally like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth nevertheless I will definitely come back again.

How very interesting. Being form a recruitment background an observing many assessment centres I have been struck by the fact that promising individuals have been unable to adequately demonstrate a required competency due to the circumstance and quality of the individuals that they are interacting with and the lack of recognition of this during the subsequent assessment of the individuals in question. I have also found this from a personal point of view when my use of a competency or strength that would be recognised and valued in one environment is highly ineffective in another.

Hi Tim, Thanks for your comment. The way I read the Lominger competencies, they do not really take much account of the interdependence of human beings. Instead, in Lominger terms, and indeed in terms of any competency approach, humans are like bags of skin filled with competencies. These competencies are not dependent on the others around them, they are instead quite individual.

Stephen,
I really like your descriptions of the importance the interdependence of human beings and the importance of context as it relates to leadership.

Aren’t the skills you value: self-reflection, noticing what is going on, owning one’s own part, and facilitating and articulating meaning “included” and “expressed” in Lominger competencies like “Personal Learning” (watching, seeking feedback, picking up on the need to adjust and adjusting) as well as Listening, Dealing with Paradox, Dealing with Ambiguity, etc.?

I don’t think Lominger is perfect or the answer to all leadership questions, but why knock down or pass up material that could support your case instead of just making your case directly?
