***Required Capabilities
Leadership Capabilities
• Collaboration: Collaboration is the ability to work productively with others. At the low end of performance, collaboration enables effectively breaking down complex tasks and distributing the parts across a group of people or organizations.
• Creativity: The problems we face today are much more complex and time-critical than those of the past. They often cannot be solved by brute force alone. Creativity describes the organization’s ability to think differently and allow different thinking to influence day-to-day and strategic decisions. At the low end of the performance curve, organizations can be trapped in tradition and best practices, unable to solve persistent problems. At the high end, they are often challenged to prioritize among numerous new ideas.
• Innovation: Innovation goes beyond creativity to turn creative ideas into reality. It is the ability to translate a good concept into a compelling value proposition in which others are willing to support and invest. When innovation ability is high, companies go beyond innovative products to design innovative processes, organisational structures, management practices, and employment engagement approaches.
• Adaptability: At no time in our history has adaptability been so critical. Products, services, organizations, companies, and even whole industries come and go quickly. Adaptability is the organisation’s ability to give up the existing skills, processes, and technologies that have led to its past success and create new skills and approaches that ensure success tomorrow. Organizations need to be adaptable just to survive and highly adaptable if they expect to thrive.
