My understanding, however, has been predominantly changed throughout the program. I used to interpret this competency as one’s ability to strategically organize others and essential resources to achieve organizational goal. However, I am more aware that a strategic mobilizer should able to strategically organize oneself as well. Moreover, I found that one can organize others well but fail to organize his or her self.

In many organizations, competency models can differ between the different hierarchies of managers. As a person’s leadership role evolves so do the behaviors and skills he or she must possess to be an effective leader. This statement holds firm as with the case of Andra Rush.
