Capabilities

To review, Covey, in The Speed of Trust. The One Thing That Changes Everything (New York: Free Press, 2006), said there were 5 waves of trust: self-trust, relationship trust, Organizational Trust, Market Trust, and Societal Trust.

Then we said the first wave, self-trust, consisted of the 4 cores of credibility: integrity (Are you congruent), intent (What's your agenda), capabilities (Are you relevant), and results (What's your Track Record?). We covered the first 2 cores, integrity and intent. Now Covey looks at capabilities (p. 91ff).

In Covey's words (p. 91),

The first dimension of competence is capabilities--the talents, skills, knowledge, capacities, and abilities we have that enable us to perform with excellence. Going back to the metaphor of the tree, capabilities are the branches that produce the fruits of results.

We'll unpack this term in subsequent posts.

My goal here is to bring out more skilled entrepreneurs. How am I doing?

Entrepreneurship is the life's blood of all my professional activities. It makes them go. It informs my connection strategy. For my ideas on connection strategy, go to my new blog www.Connecting.blogspot.com.

It makes Your Stop for Real Estate, my real estate referral business, go. See www.yourstopforrealestate.blogspot.com.

It powers my writing. Go to www.kearneymusicschoolmurders.blogspot.com for my ideas on writing and where you can read my mystery for free, download it for free or buy it from Amazon.com more cheaply than you can print it.

It fuels my publishing enterprise, By and for Writersgo. See www.byandforwriters.blogspot.com where you can get a poem or a short story published.
