performance is what you do. and how you do it.
At MannKind, performance is defined by both what you deliver and how you deliver it. The DRIVE framework uses a bicycle model. Expertise Competencies — the technical and functional skills specific to your role — are the rear wheel that powers you forward. Power Competencies are the front wheel. They steer how you work, how you lead, and how you show up for the people around you.
These five Power Competencies are rooted in our values — Own It, Win Together, Do Right, Be Tenacious, and Push Boundaries — and they apply to every employee regardless of role, function, or level. Each competency includes five levels of mastery — Foundational, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Executive — that set clear expectations for where you are and what growth looks like from here.
These competencies are not guidelines. They are the behaviors that define what it means to succeed at MannKind.
