4 Capabilities Leadership Workshop

Global competition. High-speed communications. Volatile markets. The modern business world is immeasurably complex and changes in an instant. Leaders for today’s organizations need to be innovative, agile, resourceful — and they can’t go it alone.

Years of research into what skills and methods work in this challenging environment led MIT to formulate the 4 Capabilities Leadership Framework, a recipe for making the best leadership decisions at every level of an organization.

The three-day 4 Capabilities Leadership Workshop introduces students to the four capabilities central to effective leadership:

• Visioning
• Sensemaking
• Relating
• Inventing new ways of organizing

Dynamic, personal and interactive, each 4 Capabilities Leadership Workshop features role playing, case studies and group work. Participants learn more about their own values, goals and vision through introspective exercises. They engage one another, practice new skills and reflect deeply on leadership and life.

The workshop is a highlight of MIT Sloan’s Executive Education Programs and of MIT’s annual Independent Activities Period.
