Leadership Competencies for Corporate Citizenship: Getting to the roots of success

In 2009 the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship worked with the Hay Group, one of the most respected firms in HR competency modeling, to develop a framework for helping companies understand and manage corporate citizenship as well as structure and staff this function with the talent needed to successfully support integration of corporate citizenship principles and policies across the business. This report looks at the role and responsibilities of those leading the corporate citizenship function and the competencies needed to succeed in this position. While created specifically for the senior leadership role, this competency model can also serve as a useful guide for development of corporate citizenship professionals at all levels as they work to improve performance and advance their careers.
