Part 4: Mapping Lominger Competencies to Your Company Values.

31 May 2026, Singapore:

Assuming the company name is ABC, in the Aerospace-Defence industry, and their values include Integrity, Results, Collaboration, Accountability, Innovation, and Safety.

1. Integrity

Core Lominger competencies:

  • Integrity and Trust: Behaving in a way that engenders trust, acting consistently with values.
  • Courage of Convictions: Willingness to stand up for what’s right, even if unpopular.

Why: Integrity in RTX means ethical behavior in complex defense/aerospace programs. These 2 competencies cover trust-building and speaking up.

2. Results

Core Lominger competencies:

  • Drive for Results: Steadfastly pushing self and others to deliver, even under tough circumstances.
  • Action Oriented: Enjoying hard work, seizing opportunities, acting decisively.
  • Managing and Measuring Work: Setting clear objectives, tracking progress.

Why: RTX is delivery-heavy on contracts, timelines, and performance. These drive execution and accountability to outcomes.

3. Collaboration

Core Lominger competencies:

  • Teamwork: Working effectively with others, giving credit, valuing diversity.
  • Interpersonal Savvy: Relating well with all kinds of people, building rapport.
  • Peer Relationships: Can quickly find common ground and solve problems with peers.

Why: ABC projects are matrixed across business units and global teams. Collaboration here = cross-functional, not just within the team.

4. Accountability

Core Lominger competencies:

  • Personal Accountability: Owning actions and outcomes, even when things go wrong.
  • Decision Quality: Making good decisions based on analysis, experience, and judgment.
  • Follow-through on Commitments: Doing what you say you’ll do, on time.

Why: In aerospace/defense, accountability = safety, compliance, and owning program outcomes. These map directly.

5. Innovation

Core Lominger competencies:

  • Creativity: Coming up with new and unique ideas.
  • Innovation Management: Organizing and facilitating innovation within the team.
  • Learning on the Fly: Learning quickly when facing new problems.
  • Dealing with Ambiguity: Working effectively when things are uncertain.

Why: ABC invests heavily in R&D and new tech. These competencies support both idea generation and execution in ambiguous environments.

6. Safety

Core Lominger competencies:

  • Attention to Detail: Thoroughness and accuracy in dealing with information and processes.
  • Process Management: Good at figuring out processes, organizing work, and eliminating waste.
  • Quality Decisions: Recognizing when decisions have safety implications and acting accordingly.

Why: Safety in RTX = zero defects, strict adherence to process, and risk awareness. These Lominger competencies underpin a safety culture.

How to use this mapping

If you’re doing talent reviews or development plans at ABC:

  • For high-potentials: Assess them on the 2-3 competencies under “Innovation” and “Results” — those predict advancement in ABC.
  • For performance gaps: If someone struggles with “Collaboration” in a matrix org, focus development on “Interpersonal Savvy” + “Peer Relationships”.
  • For interviews: Build STAR questions around “Integrity and Trust” and “Attention to Detail” — non-negotiables in aerospace.
