1. CEML Framework of Management and Leadership Abilities

The Council for Excellence in Management and Leadership conducted an extensive piece of research using primary and secondary data sources to identify a key set of management and leadership abilities (Perren and Burgoyne, 2001). The resultant framework identified 83 distinct management and leadership abilities (condensed from an initial list of 1013) which were grouped into 8 meta-groups and three generic categories. The categories and meta-groups are as follows:

• 
  Thinking Abilities: Think Strategically
  
• 
  People Abilities: Manage self, Manage and lead people, Lead direction and culture, Manage relationships
  
• 
  Task Abilities: Manage information, Manage resources, Manage activities and quality
