The Four Capabilities of Leadership


Here is some excellent material on the four capabilities of leadership, from John C. Maxwell, author of The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader: Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow:

1. Sensemaking - understanding the context in which a company and its people operate.
2. Relating - building relationships within and across organisations.
3. Visioning - creating a compelling picture of the future.
4. Inventing - developing new ways to achieve the vision.

The four capabilities are interdependent and you need each one in your organisation for it to be successful.
  • Without sensemaking, there's no common view of reality from which to start.
  • Without relating, people work in isolation or strive toward different aims.
  • Without visioning, there is no shared direction.
  • Without inventing, a vision remains an illusion.
