Vertical Development
Vertical Development
Traditional leadership development is broken because it is focused almost exclusively on skill acquisition. Skills and competencies (horizontal development) are limited as leadership interventions in fast-changing and complex environments.
Instead, vertical development is growing capacity for systems thinking, seeing multiple perspectives, and observing and adjusting one’s own thinking and behavior. Applying the fundamentals of vertical development to today’s business challenges is a cutting-edge approach that encourages leaders to evolve conscious thought and leadership capacity.
