Developing this strength, however, requires a successful balance of several factors. In 2005, my colleague David Williams and I designed and developed what we termed the Behaviors, Competencies and Responsibilities (BCR) approach to leadership to identify these very factors. As illustrated by the diagram below, when the three critical elements of behaviors, competencies, and responsibilities come together—as they do in the center purple area—you get effective, successful, productive, powerful, thoughtful, prudent, strong and wise leadership results. I’ll be exploring each of these aspects individually as they relate to successful team leadership in three successive White Papers. In this first Paper, Part 1, the focus is on Behaviors.
