Success Profiles
Success profiles capture essential elements for effective and high-performing leaders at Griffith. The profiles connect Griffith’s Strategic Plan and organisational needs with the required leadership capabilities to deliver successful outcomes at different leadership levels.
A success profile is unique from a standard job description as it broadens the focus from required experiences to other elements such as leadership capabilities, personal attributes, and motivations, as well as opportunities and challenges that leaders might face in their roles.
This document outlines the success profiles of Executive Group members and Senior Leaders at Griffith University (i.e. Head of School, Dean, Research Director, Professional Director).
