Executive Core Qualifications (ECQ) Training
Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) define the competencies needed to develop a federal corporate culture that drives results, serves customers and builds successful teams and coalitions within and outside the organization. Demonstrated fulfillment of all ECQs by government managers is required for entry into the Senior Executive Service (SES).
The SES is comprised of men and women charged with leading the continuing transformation of the federal government. These leaders possess well-honed executive experience and skills and they share a broad perspective of government and a strong commitment to public service.
ECQs are also the criteria used by many federal and state agencies in the selection, performance management and leadership development of people wishing to advance in management and executive positions.
There are five Executive Core Qualifications:
- ECQ 1 – Leading Change
- ECQ 2 – Leading People
- ECQ 3 – Results Driven
- ECQ 4 – Business Acumen
- ECQ 5 – Building Coalitions
What SkillPath ECQ training provides you:
SkillPath's On-site training division provides customized training to help government managers better understand each ECQ and write effective qualifications statements. These statements give readers such as executive resources staff, rating and selecting officials and Qualifications Review Board (QRB) members specific information about applying managers' achievements in the ECQs. This is an important part of each manager's consideration for advancement.
SkillPath helps participants identify different ways of fulfilling each ECQ. Then we instruct and coach participants so they master the Challenge-Context-Action-Result model the government prefers for writing their ECQ statements in a vivid, compelling way. This includes:
Challenge. Describe a specific problem or goal.
Context. Talk about the individuals and groups you worked with, and/or the environment in which you worked, to tackle a particular challenge (e.g., clients, co-workers, members of Congress, shrinking budget, low morale).
Action. Discuss the specific actions you took to address a challenge.
Result. Give specific examples of the results of your actions. These accomplishments demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of your leadership skills.
