What is competence?
Competence is about the ability to assess, evaluate and skillfully use and use all the accumulated knowledge and information that one has acquired.
But competence is more than just knowledge. It is the ability to deal with a situation successfully, to act, and to look ahead. Your competence consists of a number of factors:
Knowledge
Acquired through studies, to know facts, theory, to know methods and models.
Experiences
Being able to learn from successes and mistakes. You will gain more and deeper experiences the older you get. Often means that you find the connection between knowledge and skills.
Skills
By skills we mean being able to manufacture, to be able to handle tools, to use your knowledge, to execute.
Interpersonal skills
Influence, social skills, network of contacts. Social skills are developed through the interaction between people in working life, associations, etc. Everyone needs to practice their ability to listen, explain, argue, question, value, encourage and cooperate.
Values/attitudes
Many situations and problems have no given solutions and actions must be based on values. It's about wanting to do, realizing what's important and taking responsibility.
Motivators/Demotivators
A psychological term for the factors in the individual that arouse, shape, and direct behavior toward different goals. Theories of motivation explain why we act in the first place and why we do certain things rather than others. In some situations, demotivators can cause us to completely lose the desire/energy to do.
Inner Leadership/Outer Leadership
Just as it sounds, self-leadership is about leading yourself. But in order to be able to lead yourself, you first need to get to know yourself, deeply. To decide what you want with your life and your career, and how to get there.
External leadership is to be able to describe a manager/leader or a leadership that supports you in becoming the best you can be. Should they be coaching? Instructive? Available? Challenging? Give a lot of freedom with responsibility?
