All our workbooks are built around our research-based Competency Model. Grounded in work by the U.S. Department of Labor and other leading authorities, this model provides a structured framework for learning by helping you identify and develop specific competencies.

Competencies are defined as observable and measurable sets of skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Our model includes 35 distinct competency dimensions linked to successful performance in leadership and professional roles. These competencies are organized into five overlapping domains to reflect the complex, interconnected nature of real-world work.

These areas align with the Organizational Leadership domain within CentreStar’s Competency Model, which is structured around five interconnected domains.
