Explanation:

In the Competency Based Leadership Model, Bennis suggests four aactions or behaviours successful leaders employ which include creating attention through vision, creating meaning through communiction, trust and self-development i.e. Attention, Meaning, Trust and Self-development.

This definition focuses much more on the individual capability of the leader. "Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential."  

Attention: Leaders are the kind of people to whom others are really drawn because of their vision, dream, a set of intentions, or agenda. They have a sense of commitment which attracts people to them. They command other people’s attention. Leaders manage people’s attention through a compelling vision.

Meaning: Leaders must communicate their vision to align people with it to make their dreams apparent. Leaders make ideas tangible and real to other people, so that they can get behind them.

Trust: Trust is essential to organizations. Without it no organization can work. The main determinant of trust is reliability or constancy.

Self- development: This is knowing ones skills and developing them effectively. Without managing self leaders can do more harm than good. Incompetent leaders can make life worse. Management of self is the appropriate deployment of one’s capacities. Part of it is positive self- regard where people know their talents, nurture them and discern their strength within the organization.
