The 7C Leadership Compass

Appendices This guide includes two essential appendices to deepen your understanding of, and put into practice, the 7C Compass:

Appendix A – Neuroscientific foundations of the 7Cs This appendix explores the scientific foundations of each capability, drawing on models such as SCARF to explain how the brain responds to social threats and rewards. It provides a deeper understanding of the “why” behind inclusive leadership behaviours.

Appendix B – Comparison with existing leadership models This appendix positions the 7C Compass in relation to other well-established leadership frameworks (Goleman; Bass & Burns; Greenleaf; etc.). It highlights the complementaries and the unique contributions of the 7C model, notably its grounding in the behavioural sciences and its focus on moral ambition.

Appendix C – Discovering Your Unique Ability and Ikigai This appendix is a complementary tool designed to help you identify your Unique Ability (UA) – the combination of natural talents that brings you joy and energy – and to use it as the inner compass guiding your leadership. In Japanese culture, this is known as Ikigai: the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. This exercise helps you discover your UA/ Ikigai in just 15 minutes.
