ELC Thing 11 – The six leadership capabilities
The way that you exercise leadership will involve a range of skills, attitudes, values and behaviours and draw on the breadth of knowledge and experience gained from practice and from life. Thing 11 is an opportunity for you to appreciate how your own leadership shows.
This badge is awarded to people who have:
- worked through Thing 11: The six leadership capabilities: What are my strengths and areas for development?
- provided evidence of their learning through reflective writing.
This is part of the 23 Things ELC Leadership programme.
To earn this badge you must:
- work through Thing 11 of 23 Things ELC Leadership
- write an account of at least 200 words.
We will decline Open Badge applications without a completed reflective activity.

- Across the six capabilities, what are your leadership strengths and areas for development? The exercises in Part 3 of the workbook can help you to identify how you evidence your leadership capability at all levels.
- What leadership skills would you most like to develop? What difference could this make to your work?
