Sandia Leadership Skills Model
The Sandia Leadership Skills Model (SLS) lays out foundational skill areas for all levels of leadership. Within the model, you will find layers of intricacy detailing four skill areas, 13 skills, and ~50 behaviors. The SLS serves as more than a foundational model; it stands as a transformative tool to assess and elevate your leadership capabilities. Belief in the mission, living the values & behaviors, and developing yourself against these critical leadership skill areas will help Sandia build leadership that will serve us now and into the future.
Alongside the SLS, we’ve released a 360 Assessment.
