Leadership Competencies Drive:
What is a Competency?
A competency is…….
• An observable, measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics that an individual needs to perform the work roles or job functions of a position successfully
Technical Competencies
Essential knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform a particular job.
Example: Knowledge of Tax Law is a technical competency for the position Supervisory Revenue Agent

• Characteristics of leaders that support the vision, mission, and goals of the organization
• The degree to which the characteristic is necessary to achieve the desired organizational results shall vary with the level of the position
21 Leadership Competencies linked
to their primary Core Responsibility areas
.
Succession Planning
To address the anticipated shortage of leaders in the IRS:
• The agency has developed and implemented the Leadership Succession Review (LSR) system.
• The agency continues to employ competitive leadership readiness programs for all levels to build a pool of candidates for future needs
Why Leadership Succession Planning?
“One of the biggest shortcomings of the traditional people process is that it’s backward looking, focused on evaluating the jobs people are doing today. Far more important is whether the individuals can handle the jobs of tomorrow”
» From “Execution-The Discipline of Getting Things Done,” Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan
LSR Process Overview
• LSR is a web-based process, built around assessing leaders on the 21 IRS Leadership Competencies. It includes:– An assessment of each individual’s leadership
readiness and interest/availability– Individual discussions of career aspirations
and development plans– Identification of potential candidates for
leadership positions
Four Stages of LSR Process
STAGE 1 - Gather Data
STAGE 2 - Conduct Talent Review Discussions
STAGE 3 - Roll up LSR Information to Senior Leaders
STAGE 4 - Provide Individual Feedback and Development Ideas
LSR Stage 1: Gather Data
• Individuals:– Complete demographic page– Input self assessment on 21 leadership competencies
• Managers of those individuals: – Assess them on the 21 competencies – Input an overall readiness rating
• Ready now, Ready with development, Not ready
– Complete an LSR planning matrix capturing information on all their direct report managers
Stage 2: Talent Review Discussions
• Those managers who assessed individuals will meet with their own manager and discuss:– Current leadership positions, and match
individuals they assessed with specific positions (based on readiness and availability)
– Talent identified in the process, and strengths, gaps, and development recommendations
– Organizational strengths and areas for development
Stage 3: Roll up of LSR Information
• Executive review and discussion of:– Potential leadership backfills and
development plans for the group– Bench strength data from Stage 2– Competency data from Stage 2, looking at
organizational strengths and areas for development
Stage 4: Feedback Conversations
• Managers provide feedback to each individual they assess. They will:– Review and discuss the assessment,
providing feedback from Stage 2 and 3 meetings
– Discuss readiness to backfill specific leadership positions
– Discuss developmental needs and options, if appropriate
Leadership Readiness Programs
Programs which help develop the competencies an individual needs for a particular leadership level, include:•Front Line Readiness Program (FLRP)•Department Manager Readiness Program (DMRP)•Senior Manager Readiness Program (SMRP)•Executive Readiness Program (XR)
Front Line Readiness Program
• Classroom course designed to provide tools for effective team development, communication, coaching, problem solving, life and work balance, and time management. Involves a developmental assignment.

Executive Readiness Program
• A one year developmental program based on assessment, curriculum, support, and challenge. Designed for senior managers who aspire to enter the Candidate Development Program.
Don’t Miss The Opportunity ….
…Plan for your Career Future…• Managers are required to have a
discussion with each of their employees about the employee’s career goals.
• this is to be done during the year-end performance discussion
• All employees are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity and, in conjunction with their manager, follow-up the discussion with the development of a Career Learning Plan (CLP).
