A total sample of ۱۰ people was selected using purposive (Non-probability) sampling. Following a literature review and expert survey, the indicators related to the desired capabilities and skills required to implement task-level and macro-level strategies were identified and presented in the form of ۱۴ concepts and ۹۵ indicators. Content Validity Index (CVI) of the questionnaire (۰.۷۹ < CVI) was confirmed. Then, the designed questionnaire was delivered to the selected sample (n=۱۰). Data analysis was conducted based on the present and desired state mean scores measured by single-round Fuzzy Delphi, Triangular Fuzzy Numbers, and Center of Gravity Method. The findings revealed that in all indicators, there was a gap between the present state and the desired one. The respective gap was observed to be higher in some indicators (e.g., judgment and decision-making, human resource empowerment skill, strategic human resource management, leadership, and corrective actions) and narrower in some others (e.g., educational needs assessment, concentration, time management, skills to use the required computer hardware and software, professional independence).
