Role Profile
Management & Leadership has been identified as a strategic area of importance across the UK economy in both the private and public sectors. Approximately 2.8 million employees in the UK operate within management roles or require management skills.
The development of these skills has been at the forefront of Government policy over the past decade, and for good reason. These skills can make the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful organisation. Management skills are prevalent across a number of qualification levels, from team leading to strategic management and chief executive roles.
Skills & Competencies for Management & Leadership

The standards are arranged in six themes:
- Managing Self
- Providing Direction
- Facilitating Innovation & Change
- Working With People
- Using Resources
