Capability invisibility is a term used to describe a situation in which employees’ skills, capabilities and competencies are not visible or known.

This can result in an employee being given a task for which they are ill equipped, or their skills not fully utilized.

While this incompetent leadership blindness can exist when everyone is colocated, it can be exacerbated when the team is hybrid and working across multiple locations.

Leaders and every member of a team should know what skills, capabilities and competencies exist so that they can be leveraged for the optimum performance of the individual, team and organization.
