Narrative Responses to Leadership Qualities (LQs) a. Applicants are responsible for addressing each of the following LQs b. Highly recommend applicants pay particular attention to the information discussing how to draft narrative responses and the required page limitations What are Leadership Qualities (LQs)? LQs are those attributes AFOSI has determined are key and essential to success as a future senior civilian leader. They assist in assessing whether an individual has the broad skills necessary for a variety of senior civilian leadership positions. Successful performance in a leadership position requires competence in the LQs. Each LQ is interdependent and a competitive applicant will have various experiences in all the three categories. Under each LQ, applicants will find specific competencies that are reflective of the attributes sought for each quality. As part of the Promotion Selection Process (PSP), each applicant must provide a written response discussing their individual experiences, education, or training that demonstrates their skills in a particular LQ. The key to a well-written LQ response is to give readers (Promotion Selection Panel members) specific information about your achievements and should highlight the specific competencies spelled out for each LQ. Because the competencies are cross-cutting, they should be addressed over the entire response as much as possible. A LQ response may include 6

7 one to two examples of relevant experience, but remember the number of examples is not as important as assuring that your experience matches the competencies sought in each LQ. Responses should be written as a narrative (not bullet formatted), using current experience (less than 10 yrs old), following specified size and page limits (TIMES NEW ROMAN/12 FONT/SINGLE SPACED W/ONE INCH MARGINS/NO MORE THAN 3 PAGES, 1 PAGE PER LQ, IN ONE WORD DOCUMENT), and should not make specific reference to known figures (General Y, Ambassador B, etc), reveal law enforcement sensitive or classified information, use bureaucratic words or expressions, and/or make disparaging remarks about former colleagues or supervisors. Applicants should use the Challenge-Context-Action-Result model when addressing each LQ: CHALLENGE. Describe a specific problem or goal. CONTEXT. Describe the individuals and groups you worked with, and/or the environment in which you worked, to address a particular challenge. ACTION. Discuss the specific actions YOU took to address a challenge. RESULT. Give specific examples of measures/outcomes that had some impact on the unit/organization. These accomplishments demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of your leadership skills. Applicants should keep the C-CAR model in mind as they write their narratives, but the C-CAR elements should be addressed within the construct of a flowing narrative rather than segregated under Challenge, Context, Action, or Result headers. In short, strong narratives include specific examples of experience; what the applicant did, how they did it, and a sharp focus on results. It s imperative that applicants describe experience and accomplishments in a clear and organized manner, avoid vague statements, and highlight measureable results. Most importantly, when applicants are finished drafting their narratives, they should ask current senior leaders to review their package and provide constructive feedback. The following LQs must be addressed by each applicant: LQ 1: Leading Change Definition: This LQ involves the ability to bring about change, both within and outside the unit or organization, to meet specified goals.
