3 Levels of Competency –
► Newbie – you can’t be a newbie forever
► Average, - You can’t let someone stuck in this level for ever (for too long)
► All Stars – your competency will suffer when you begin to loose he “all stars” from your staff. Build a business, or fine tune your business strategy to maximize the capability of your all stars.

5 Level of Responsibility
► Producing – Value added staff.
► Supervisors (teachers) – A producer and a mentor for the “value added staff”
► Managing – Shall have the technical understanding of how to complete tasks – resource requirement and constraints.
► Directing – Shall have same skill set as managing, but in a collective of similar disciplines (domain of knowledge). He shall also make “wise” adjustments to his resources in anticipation of new projects, or the industry down turns. Example of the “wise” decisions: (a) outsourcing, (2) fine tuning resources, including HR, to match the company core competency.
► Visionary – Shall have a good understanding of competitors, technology innovation, market condition, trend, communicate to others on how to position the company to provide the products and services (target market, competency)

So, where I am on the chart? Where have I been, or where are you on my chart? How long do we stay in each of those boxes?
For estimating one’s career growth (responsibility and competency), I come to think of duration for each of the competency stage is about: Newbie – (1-2 years), Average – (3-7 years)
Newbie | Average | All Star | |
Envision | Step 10 | Step 11 | Step 12 |
Direct | Step 8 | Step 9 | |
Manage | Step 5 | Step 6 | Step 7 |
Supervise | Step 3 | Step 4 | |
Produce | Step 1 | Step 2 |
