A Shared Leadership Language For A 100+ Staff Member School Network
Values-Based Leadership Competency Framework
The Challenge
The network had no shared framework for defining, measuring, and developing leadership. Without clear competencies or consistent expectations, leaders at all levels operated without a common language for performance, culture, or growth across 100+ staff members.
Our Approach
A comprehensive mixed-methods culture and leadership assessment combining qualitative interviews, focus groups, and quantitative survey data, to surface the values, behaviors, and leadership qualities most critical to the network's mission. Findings were analyzed through an equity-centered lens and used to co-create the framework with school leadership.
What We Built
A values-based leadership competency framework including behavioral rubrics, performance indicators, and coaching tools tailored to the network's culture and strategic priorities, giving leaders an actionable roadmap for evaluating and developing talent at every level.
The Outcome
Full adoption across the organization, reaching 75+ staff members, with rubrics and coaching tools integrated into performance management and leadership development. Success led to a follow-on contract to design and deliver staff training on applying the framework, building internal capacity for sustained use.
