ForewordOne of the founding elements of Building Force 2030, as outlined in the DefenceWhite Paper 2009, is the People Capability required to operate and support theequipment and systems, and to manage the business of Defence.Our organisation is complex with a compelling and unique mission. Generating ourfuture force and delivering our strategic reform program requires exceptional leaderswith the capacity to achieve the outcomes required by the Government, engagesuccessfully with the Australian community and effectively lead the military andAustralian Public Service people committed to a career in Defence.Defence must ensure the leadership, culture and behaviour of the organisationcreates a positive environment that builds commitment to perform at a highlevel. A key measure of success for this challenge is the extent to which our peoplebelieve Defence practices values-based leadership and is perceived as one ofAustralia’s pre-eminent institutions for developing leaders.In the following pages you will be introduced to the Defence LeadershipFramework that contains Defence’s desired leadership capabilities and behaviours.These behaviours operationalise the Defence, APS and Service Values to provideguidance for workplace behaviour and decisions. It is expected that our peoplemodel and promote our values together with the leadership behaviours as these areessential to the achievement of high performance and creating the positive climatewhere people are committed to give their best.The framework is based upon the non-operational leadership requirements ofDefence now, and into the future. It was developed through extensive research andconsultation with many stakeholders, including all the Groups and Services, as wellas external Government and private sector agencies. The framework, released in2006, was reviewed in early 2009 to ensure its currency and ongoing relevance tothe Defence mission. Defence acknowledges the assistance of the Australian PublicService Commission who provided guidance and research to assist in thedevelopment of the framework. The framework will continue to evolve especially inthe context of new approaches emerging from the APS reform process.The DLF has many practical applications for personal development, staff selection,performance management, succession planning; and career planning anddevelopment.I commend to you the framework for use in these practicalapplications to further build the leadership culture we aspire to.PHIL MINNSDeputy Secretary People Strategies and PolicyMarch 20101

1 The Leadership Development ImperativeLeadership – A whole of DefenceChallengeDefence requires leadersat every level, bothmilitary and civilianNo activity whether operational or nonoperational can be conducted effectively withoutthe motivation and inspiration provided by aleader. During the course a career in Defence,military or civilian, there will be times when allof us are called upon to take up a leadershiprole.Consequently leadership ability isfundamental for all Defence employees.Skilling DefenceLeadership is the processof influencing others inorder to gain their willingconsent in the ethicalpursuit of missionsOn 19 December 2002 the Defence Committeeendorsed a review of the way in which Defencedelivered training and development to build thebusiness skills among Defence employees. Thiswas termed business skilling.The committee agreed that the need to improvebusiness skills as a support to improvedbusiness management outcomes was anorganisational priority requiring a strategicapproach. The review was undertaken in thefirst half of 2003.The Report of the Review of the DefenceBusiness Skilling System dated 12 August 2003made23recommendationsfocusingonimplementing a system to improve businessskilling in Defence for both military and civilianemployees.Leadership is core toenabling many of themore specific businessskillsLeadership was identified as central tosuccessful business outcomes and there wasa notable requirement to enhance skilling ofcivilian employees.A leadership frameworkwas therefore designed to integrate with:the military leadership frameworks alreadyin place,the Defence Leadership Model,the Senior Leadership programs, andotherGroupinitiatives.leadershipdevelopment3

2 Operationalising Defence LeadershipValues and LeadershipDefence espouses a philosophy of gainingresults through people, and also of being avalues-based organisation.Defenceespousesaphilosophy of valuesbased behaviourL E A D E R S H IP B E H A V I O U R SL E A D E R S H IP C A P A B I L IT IE SP E R F O R M A N C E P R I N C IP L E SVALUESDefence Leadership ModelFundamental to good leadership is the capacity touphold or promote Defence’s organisationalvalues.Values-based behaviour is aboutindividuals at all levels being prepared to acceptresponsibility and accountability for their actions,and to think clearly about the consequences oftheir actions for Defence.Values guide behaviour and influence how werespond to situations at work. The Defence Values(PLICIT) are the guiding principles which theorganisation has identified should drive workplacedecisions.Behaviour is the visible hallmark of values and theleadership framework has been designed toexplainhowvalues-basedbehaviourisoperationalised within Defence.The Defence Leadership ModelThe Defence Leadership Model illustrates ndleadershipcapabilities,performance principles and the Defence Values.The desired leadership capabilities and behavioursare articulated through the Defence LeadershipFramework.The Defence Leadership FrameworkThe Defence Leadership Framework (DLF)systematically identifies the leadership capabilitiesand behaviours expected at all levels in Defence.Defence LeadershipFramework Capability Areas

3 The Defence Leadership Framework (DLF)Integrating Defence LeadershipThe DLF is a ‘whole ofDefence’ framework thatprovides guidance onthe expected leadershipskills for all levels withinDefenceThe DLF integrates the leadership modelsand practices of the three Services withthe expectations required of civilian staffand provides behavioural guidance enablingthe formation of a ‘whole of Defence’leadership framework.The DLF is flexible and can be adapted to meetGroup specific needs.Integrating Defence LeadershipFoundational FrameworkFoundationalandLeadership FrameworksExecutiveThere are two parts to the DLF.TheFoundationalLeadershipframeworkprovides guidance for Defence civilians(APS levels 1-6). The military services applytheir own models to address their ovides guidance for both military officersand civilian executives from the APS EL1 /military 05 levels and above.Executive FrameworkThe leadership framework contains detaileddescriptions to reflect the increased complexityof behaviour of the leadership role as a personrises in the organisation.5

Capabilities,BehavioursProficienciesandThe framework is constructed around fivecore capability areas identified as essentialfor the leadership task. These capability areasare:strategicthinking,results,relationships, personal drive and integrityand communication.These capabilities are then furtherdivided into a number of proficiencies.Each proficiency describes the behaviours thatan effective person is expected to demonstrateat each level once established.Developing Leadership ProficiencyThe leadership behaviours are whatDefence expects you to demonstrate to befully proficient and effective at each level.Leadership Capability AreasAll proficiencies are notdemonstrated at all times.BehaviourProficiencytobeIt is not expected that a person willimmediately display or demonstrate all theproficiencies and behaviours detailed in theprofiles. There will be fluctuation dependenton individual experience and the roleperformed.CapabilityBehaviourCapability Areas are dividedinto Proficiencies andBehavioursAproficiencycandefined as ‘knowledgeand / or the abilitydemonstrate a skillbehaviour’expectedbeof,toorIn some cases the proficiencies demonstratedmay be at a higher level and this will changeas a person progresses to different roles andgains more experience.It is expected,however that once a person has been atlevel for a substantial period they wouldhave the capacity to demonstrate the fullrange of proficiencies in the relevantprofile.Development is CumulativeNote that development is cumulative; thebehaviours described at each level create thenew foundation of behaviours for the nextlevel.

What does the DLF do for me?The DLF lists the broad skills, capabilities and knowledge required of individualsto perform at an identified level or carry out an identified function within the Groupsand Services.The DLF is adaptable. It:identifies the core leadership proficiencies and capabilities that people areexpected to demonstrate.provides a generic set ofGroup/Service requirements.proficienciesthatmaybeenhancedwithis flexible and adaptable allowing Groups/Services to build upon and modify theframework to meet their specific requirements.provides a link to development and assessment opportunities to allow ‘skilling’.provides guidance to supervisorsmanagement and performance.andemployeesinrelationtostaffAnd much more!7

Leadership was identified as central to successful business outcomes and there was a notable requirement to enhance skilling of civilian employees. A leadership framework was therefore designed to integrate with: the military leadership frameworks already in place, the Defence Leadership Model, the Senior Leadership programs, and
