Capacity building is a framework to build a team that grows with your business rather than ending up with a team that is trampled by your business’s growth. This book goes into detail on how to leverage each of the four capacities to elevate your team’s performance and describes actionable ways to help your team grow in all four key areas.
In the book, Elevate, capacity building is the method through which individuals seek, acquire, and develop the skills and abilities to consistently perform at a higher level in pursuit of their innate potential. Capacity building in an organization gives employees what they need to excel in four areas:
(1) Spiritual capacity: Understanding who you are, what you want most, and the standards you live by
(2) Intellectual capacity: How you think, learn, plan, and execute with discipline
(3) Physical capacity: Your health, well-being, and physical performance
(4) Emotional capacity: How you react to challenging situations, your emotional mindset, and the quality of your relationships
Let’s be honest. You can’t effectively motivate and inspire others unless you are leading as your authentic self. Before you bring the four areas of capacity building to your team, try asking yourself these questions this week:
Spiritual capacity: Are you clear about what you value most and your strengths? Do you use that knowledge to lead authentically?
Intellectual capacity: Are you consistently able to learn, grow, and accomplish what you want to do each day, or do you often find yourself struggling to start, falling off course, or lacking discipline?
Physical capacity: Do you feel like you effectively manage your energy, or are you constantly sleep-deprived, stressed out, and burned out?
Emotional capacity: Do you surround yourself with people who encourage you, value you, and help you learn, or do you have a lot of close friends and family who leave you feeling exhausted after each interaction?
