To understand vertical development, it’s helpful to contrast it with horizontal development, which is what we typically think of when it comes to leadership development. Horizontal development is about expanding your toolkit by adding to the tools you already have. You gain more skills, expand your knowledge and become more competent. Think communications training, dealing with conflict, developing a more strategic approach to growing the enterprise and similar areas. All of these can be measured through a 360-degree leadership assessment. And they represent what most of us in the learning provider space have been doing with clients over the past thirty years.

Vertical development, on the other hand, is about expanding your mindset — changing the way you think and behave. Your mindset refers to the mental models you engage when you are thinking, as well as your sense of identity. Vertical development isn’t about training a leader in skills; it’s about transforming the ways a leader thinks, which will impact what they do and how they behave. In vertical development, you pay attention to becoming more adaptable, more self-aware, more collaborative and able to span boundaries and networks.

Coaching is an interpersonal process that helps people achieve positive change and growth. By harnessing innate strengths, uncovering intrinsic motivations, and asking empowering questions, coaching fosters self-generated insight, vision, and goal clarity.
