position.

A competency can be any knowledge, skill, or ability,

demonstrated through behaviour that results in superior job performance. Some definitions include
personal qualities, values, or traits as competencies. Examples of competencies include interpersonal
effectiveness, teamwork, technical capability, and reliability. Competencies are not job descriptions. A
job description looks at what and analyzes elements of the job. A competency model focuses on how.
