- Goals: Sets, aligns, and achieves meaningful objectives tied to organizational strategy.
- Analytical: Applies critical thinking and problem-solving to make informed decisions.

- You (Self-Aware): Understands and manages one’s own emotions, strengths, and areas for growth.
Features of LEGACY
Cascading Competency Model
The LEGACY framework begins with a core set of eight behaviors, applicable to all roles, and expands as responsibilities increase. This cascading model ensures consistency across roles while allowing for additional competencies based on job complexity.
Integrated Performance Appraisal System
The LEGACY model serves as the foundation for a competency-based performance appraisal system. Each competency includes a defined behavior with examples and is measured on a 1–5 proficiency scale. This enables organizations to:
- Conduct fair, objective evaluations.
- Identify areas for development and training.
- Align individual performance with broader organizational goals.
Customizable to Fit Any Organization
LEGACY is not one-size-fits-all. The framework is fully customizable to reflect your organization’s unique culture, values, and objectives. Whether you’re in healthcare, education, retail, or another sector, LEGACY can be tailored to meet your needs.
Job Family Alignment
Competencies are mapped to specific job families to ensure relevance and applicability. Examples of job families include:
- Executive Management
- Senior Management
- Administrative Support
- Technical Roles
- Customer Service
- Volunteers/Students
