    Introducing the CLFThe Northern Territory Public Sector (NTPS) Capability and LeadershipFramework (CLF) provides a common language to support consistent

    whole-of-sector capability development for the public sector and is designed

    to ensure leadership capabilities and behaviours exist to meet the challenges

    for the future.

    The CLF is a valuable tool that can be used to develop people and strive for

    continuous improvement.

    The framework can be used as a centrepiece for discussion around

    strengthening the work performance of individuals and teams and to informdecisions around determining and prioritising appropriate professional

    development and learning.

    What is the CLF?

    The CLF describes the behaviour expected of public sector employees at every

    level, from entry level to the Chief Executive.

    There are 13 levels in the CLF that align with the following NTPS classifications

    (and their equivalents):

    CLF 1 to CLF 8 AO1 to SAO1

    CLF 9 SAO2/ECO1

    CLF 10 to CLF 12 ECO2 to ECO4

    CE ECO5 to ECO6

    The framework is based on 5 capabilities, which have:

    3 to 5 components, which have

    2 to 12 behavioural indicators.

  • 8/6/2019 2010 NTPS Capabilities and Leadership Framework

    The 5 capabilities are:

    CLF 1 to 7 CLF 8 to 12 and CE

    Supports strategic direction Shapes strategic thinking

    Achieves results Achieves results

    Supports productive Cultivates productive

    working relationships working relationships

    Displays personal drive and Exemplifies personal drive and

    integrity integrity

    Communicates with influence Communicates with influence

    The components and behavioural indicators get more complex at each

    level in line with the expected increase in accountability, level of stakeholder

    engagement responsibility, and strategic focus.

    The component descriptions and behavioural indicators provide a guide to a

    range of behaviours that can be expected at each level. From these identified

    behaviours, the ones that are critical to a particular job will depend on the

    focus of the role at the time. The need for management skills, teamwork andleadership will vary within most levels. For this reason, behavioural indicators

    can be customised and prioritised by agencies to emphasise tasks that are

    relevant and most important for that job.

    The component descriptions highlighting the new behaviours at each level are

    shown in italics. Some aspects of the capability may be essential on entry and

    others can be acquired over time. Critical transition points at each level show

    which components require a significant development of skills from the previous

    level and are shaded.

    Who does the CLF apply to?

    The CLF is for all levels of public sector employees employed under the Public

    Sector Employment and Management Act.

    It is intended that all agencies will adopt the CLF; however, it is acknowledged

    that some agencies may need to implement the CLF in a flexible way to reflect

    occupation-specific capabilities and standards.

    The CLF will apply to permanent and temporary employees, including casual

    employees.

    What is the purpose of the CLF?

    The CLF provides a common language to talk about the work of public sector

    employees and is a foundation for developing capability and leadership in the

    public sector.

    Using the CLF will:

    support managers to describe staff performance expectations clearly

    support individuals and supervisors to identify and address learning and

    development needs

    strengthen public sector standards of performance

    aid movement between agencies with common expectations

    lead to highly functioning organisations focused on delivering quality

    outcomes.

    How can the CLF be used?

    The CLF explains the generic behaviours that are desirable at each level toachieve effective outcomes. Along with specific behaviours and occupation-

    specific expertise required of each job, these can be used for:

    self-reflection and personal career planning

    selection and prioritisation of professional development

    meaningful performance development discussions

    personal performance advice.

    Understanding the background to the CLF

    The CLF is based on the Queensland Public Service Capability and Leadership

    Framework, which was introduced in 2009. The Queensland Public Serviceadopted its framework from the Australian Public Service Integrated Leadership

    System, which commenced in 2004. It is based on research from the fields of

    workplace and organisational psychology and workforce capability, and job

    analysis interviews conducted by Saville & Holdsworth Australia Pty Ltd.

    Why was the Queensland Public Service CLF chosen?

    The Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment looked at frameworks

    across national and international jurisdictions. The advantages of the

    Queensland CLF are:

    the behaviours are based on public sector functions and context

    it shows increasing complexity through levels and has a close alignment,

    particularly at the high levels, with the growing breadth, impact of

    decisions and responsibility of senior staff

    it identifies critical transition points and behaviours required, making it

    easy to plan learning and development as people progress

    it can operate comfortably with other frameworks

    it is based on the Australian Government framework.
