Although everyone has their preference, good leaders have the capacity to work effectively in all the rooms

Links between the rooms – connecting doors and staircases – allow easy movement around the house and opportunities to explore. Effective individuals, in any type of leadership role, have the capacity to work well in each of the rooms, knowing when it is time to move from one to another and how to take people with them.

The four rooms of the Caplor House can be “visited” in order to see issues from different perspectives, understand other people’s points of view, recognise and challenge assumptions and explore other solutions to problems.

A metaphorical walk around the house offers a holistic view of any issue and the potential for considered decision-making.

There is no correct ‘route’ around the rooms for any walk-around – rooms will be visited and revisited at different times during the process. However, the important aspect is that every room is visited and each experience of being in each room is applied.
