VMCL Theory is a systems thinking approach to organizational leadership and design developed by Laura and Derek Cabrera.

It is predicated on the idea that four natural organizational functions can be leveraged to optimize emergent outcomes within a system.​ ​All organizations are complex adaptive systems characterized by the four inherent functions of vision, mission, capacity, and learning. Each function (or rule) is concisely defined below.

V Vision Desired future state or goal.
M Mission The actions you take, repeatedly, to bring about your vision.
C Capacity The systems that provide readiness to execute mission.
L Learning Continuous improvement of systems of capacity based on feedback from the external environment.
