What are the management and leadership standards?  

They are benchmarks of best practice   

They coherently bring together the outcomes, behaviours and knowledge required to deliver identified management functions into a tool which can be used by individual managers and their employers. 

How can they be used?

• Identify the skills they will need.

2. Business planning  

Employers can use the standards to;

• Evaluate the skills already in the workforce
• Identify skills gaps
• Plan training and recruitment.

3. Workforce management  

Employers can use the standards to;
