Behind the Scenes of Leadership (The Framework)
Credible leadership is what people trust in real time – especially when things are complex.
Behind the scenes, leadership strain rarely comes from a lack of capability. It comes from navigating real systems: power, influence, expectations, and the pressure to stay steady and values-led.
The Credible Leadership Framework reflects four capacities that shape how leadership is experienced in practice: capability, judgement and expertise (IQ), emotional awareness and connection (EQ), political awareness and influence (PQ), and alignment, integrity and boundaries (AQ).
Together, these capacities help explain why capable leaders can still feel stretched or stuck and why the real work of leadership often happens quietly, long before outcomes are visible.
