To determine the skills required by leaders to effectively manage organizational changes, this article is similar to a task analysis and it is consistent with the approach suggested by Catano to identify the skills required by the exercise of various functions. It is also in the line of various work in Great Britain and in the USA according to which jurisdiction is seen as a requirement to be able to be established after an analysis of outputs produced. The using methodology is qualitative, aimed at verifying the clarity and relevance of competency statements retained after our literature; it enables to better define the competency model that we seek to develop. The qualitative study was done using two techniques: a Delphi method to establish the skills learned; a study by the Judges technique to check membership statements (specific skills) to groups (derived generic skills).
