This document discusses three key performance indicators (KPIs) of leadership success: skill, dependability, and being proactive. It states that while qualifications and experience are often seen as important for leadership roles, the true measures are possessing these three KPIs. Skill refers to being highly competent in one's current role. Dependability means getting tasks done reliably through one's own work or team. Being proactive involves identifying and solving problems without being assigned them. The document advises that moving into higher levels of leadership requires demonstrating increasing levels of these KPIs, from skill for front-line roles to dependability for middle management to proactivity for senior management.
