When a competency reaches the “leading a business” echelon, it signifies the capability to guide an entire institution or company towards its vision. It’s more than just expertise in a skill or functional knowledge; it’s about shaping the culture, setting the direction, and ensuring sustainable growth. Such a leader doesn’t just manage operations; they define the organisation’s very ethos, create its strategic roadmap, and ensure its position in the larger industry or societal landscape.
