ECQs are requirements to enter into the Senior Executive Service. They include a level of quality or attainment necessary for the construction of corporate culture at the federal level. That consists of formes teams focused on results, customers, and coalitions in and outside of the organization. These are used by different agencies with a purpose to find out leadership and performance management.
