This masterclass will introduce vertical development and some of its key concepts. We will explore how these can enable us to more effectively navigate the constant change we experience in our organisations. We will introduce a vertical development profiling tool – the Leadership Development Framework – and explore how our ‘action logics’ have a profound impact on who we are, how we show up, and the decisions and actions we take as leaders. There will be a practical focus on how we can apply the theory to liberate individuals, teams and organisations from areas of ‘stuckness’, which can ultimately enable cultural change within the organisational ecosystem.

This session will be interactive, providing opportunities for inquiry into how to apply the theory in your own context.

By the end of this session, you will have:

• gained the ability to distinguish between horizontal and vertical development, and appreciated the importance of both
• understood some of the key concepts of vertical development and how it can enable leaders to engage and lead given the increasingly complex nature of our working world
• gained knowledge of a vertical development profiling tool and its relevance to the decisions and actions we make as leaders
• applied the theory through the process of inquiry-based experimentation
• learned the tools and practices that can be applied back in the workplace
