Core Duties

Level 1 managers are responsible for coordinating processes and stakeholders which means their main differentiator is Technical Leadership.
Level 2 managers are responsible for their division's performance and people's growth so even though they have to focus on Career Leadership, their main differentiator is Business Leadership through experience and exposure.
- Level 2 Step 1 and Step 2 managers are still involved in the operation and execution of their department's processes while Level 2 Step 3 and Step 4 are responsible for process management on a higher level of report, design, automation, and monitoring.
Level 3 managers are responsible for coaching and ensuring people's growth in more than one division/team which requires proficiency in Business Leadership but the way of achieving this high-performance mindset is through Adaptive Leadership and it's the main differentiator for the level.
Level 4 managers focus on the organization's performance, growth, and alignment which means their main focus and differentiator is related to Organizational transformation.
