The Starr® Framework

The Starr® framework provides a holistic way of looking at all the dimensions of leading and leadership development:

Skills - the basic capabilities a leader needs to lead and manage others. e.g.delegation skills.
Tactics - the organisational procedures (e.g. requesting a design change) and relevant leadership processes (e.g. managing organisational change).
Attitude - the intrapersonal; personality, worldview, resilience, optimism and self belief held by a leader and their self awareness and self management of all these factors. e.g. stress management.
Relationships - the interpersonal; how well a leader builds and nurtures a wide range of relationships with individuals and groups, their ability to influence and inspire others: e.g. empathy, collaborative working.
Relevant Knowledge - organisational and environmental knowledge specific to a particular role in a particular organisation operating in a particular industry or sector: e.g. a marketing director needs to understand how their organisation compares with their competitors.
