- Delivering presentations in a structured and clear way; adjusting style and content to the audience; responding calmly and confidently to questions,
- Utilising effective negotiation techniques to achieve long-term results acceptable to all parties involved.
- Achieving Results:
- Objectively assessing and monitoring own work; regularly reporting on progress and advising of any changes in schedule or priorities,
- Having a structured and organised approach towards work; being able to set priorities and plan tasks with results in mind,
- Driving work / projects along and seeing them through to their conclusion
- Solving Problems:
- Identifying, defining and assessing problems, taking action to address them,
- Finding the information needed to solve problems; making objective judgments based on all the facts available,
- Assimilating large quantities of information, identifying key issues and formulating conclusions clearly and concisely.
- Demonstrating Flexibility:
- Demonstrating a willingness to accept changing circumstances; supporting initiatives for change,
- Adapting quickly and resourcefully to shifting priorities and requirements Instigating and promoting change as an opportunity for organisational development.
- Working in Teams:
