A 4S leader is someone who can effectively lead their team by zooming in and out of different perspectives, like a photographer using various lenses. They have the ability to view their organization from both the outside and inside, align energy levels with core values, and get everyone on the same page with regards to goals.
These leaders use the CoreSelf Mapping methodology, which includes four steps:
- Situation
- Strengths
- Struggles
- Strategies
