The BOK is a roadmap that helps individuals identify their personal path toward competency as a laboratory leader. The BOK identifies 10 areas of management responsibility (domains) and the necessary skills to master (competencies) to become an exceptional laboratory leader. Each competency is broken into three levels, including Level I (emerging), Level II (developed) and Level III (advanced). |
