Competent

A competency framework defines the knowledge, skills, and attributes needed for people within an organization. Each individual role will have its own set of competencies needed to perform the job effectively. To develop this framework, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the roles within your organization. Within the elected structure of government – what one group views as a competency framework is viewed as goal blocking by another group.
The qualities like honesty, reliability, love and sincerity, these values--deep-seated beliefs that lead to judgments about right and wrong--but they have to do with individuals and how we lead our lives individually.
Learning how political values influence public policy development as opposed to the lives of the individuals who make policy is a skill not easily learned or taught. The primary political value in our culture is responsiveness of governmental officials to public wants and needs. The value of responsiveness is reflected in demands for representation, efficiency, individual rights, and social equity.
We no longer desire to consider the discussion of politics as choices among conflicting values without demeaning the individual. There is no desire to compare or give credence to the difference between political and administrative values and perspectives. There is only might makes right.
There is no longer any desire to become competent at the full range of political skills.
