This profile is intended for self-assessment to be used as a reference as you progress through the different stages of your professional career. It contains five leadership capabilities with four key competencies in each as developed over a series of extensive interviews and workshops.

Each of key competencies is further broken down into career stages: beginning, mid-career, and experienced/ mentoring others. Meant to be as practical as possible, the guide also contains an opportunity to Action Brainstorm after each competency plus some suggestions towards creating your own learning plan.  

This CAO Leader Profile may be used for Leadership Alignment, Self-Assessment, or as a Coaching Aid. We hope you use it as a workbook as you progress through the various stages of your municipal career.
