Today’s leaders face unprecedented challenges: disruption, complexity, ambiguity and the need for cross-functional collaboration. Many feel stuck and overwhelmed, struggling to develop new capabilities to meet these demands. Enter vertical development – a powerful approach to transform how leaders think and act.
Vertical development focuses on expanding a leader’s cognitive complexity, wisdom, and insight. This approach enables leaders to span boundaries and networks and become more adaptable, self-aware, collaborative, and interconnected.
Recent Harvard University research has validated key stages of vertical development, allowing us to identify and support growth in leadership capacity.
