What does competence look like for a Director?
|
|
"Assessment of SIF competence in post will be based around evidence to support the following areas:
Knowledge: Does the individual have and use the generic knowledge of the sector and the specific knowledge of the firm necessary to fulfil the role?
Skills: Does the individual demonstrate the business and interpersonal skills required to fulfil the role and to meet the required standards?
Behaviour: Does the individual demonstrate the attitudes and standards of ethical behaviour required to fulfil their role?
Expertise: Does the individual achieve positive and fair outcomes and meet the performance standards expected for the post?"
Quotation from Hector Sants, Chief Executive, Financial Services Authority, 7th May 2009

Essential Skills and Knowledge
In order to run an effective Board with appropriate structure and governance served by qualified individuals and high quality directors there are essential skills and knowledge that are required. Regulatory eyes have never been more keen on observing and censuring Boards for failings and shortcomings so ensure your Board is at the top of its game now.
We often encounter cases where individuals who excel in their area of expertise are promoted to board level with little or no support to help them to top up those areas of knowledge or skills that they need to contribute effectively. People are often reluctant to disclose their need for help and may continue throughout their career with only a superficial understand of some key business competencies.
The major management schools of the world run extensive and excellent programmes to provide the whole breadth and depth of business education but often the missing pieces of the puzzle are very specific and a tailored approach for the individual or a small group is more efficient.
