Management and leadership competence frameworks

The management and leadership competence framework has been taken from the National Occupational Standards for management and leadership. These were developed to cover all management and leadership-related job functions, across any industry, and a number of levels of responsibility and complexity.

These are classed as technical, supervisory or management level standards.
