THE CAO PROFILE ONLINE SERIES
A CONVERSATION OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN EFFECTIVE CAO
OMAA and Dr. Gordon McIntosh have produced the CAO Profile as a reference for CAOs and Aspiring CAOs as they progress through the different stages of their professional career. It contains five leadership capabilities with four key competencies in each as developed over a series of extensive interviews and workshops. Each of key competencies is further broken down into career stages: beginning, mid-career, and experienced/mentoring others. This CAO Leader Profile may be used for Leadership Alignment, Self-Assessment, or as a Coaching Aid.
These six interactive sessions will feature one aspiring CAO and one experienced CAO in a guided conversation on one of the five leadership capabilities. Participants will be able to tune in and use the chat to determine how the specific competency cluster impacts they and what they need to improve to be more effective.
