*The Agile Leader Lab was developed and is owned by Changewise, a Leadership Development Consultancy one of whose principals, Bill Joiner, is co-author of the groundbreaking leadership book "Leadership Agility"; his co-author is Stephen Josephs. I am a certified facilitator of this program. Agile leadership forms the foundation of all my coaching and consulting work.
**Vertical development refers to the increasing mental and emotional abilities that may become accessible to us if we continue to develop during adulthood. The strong supports and inner drives that most children enjoy keep the process of child development going but in adulthood that growth becomes contingent on our interest and the opportunities and challenges that we meet. At any given age you will find a roomful of leaders at various of five leadership stages. It is learning from relevant challenges in life and work that leads leaders to develop to these greater levels of mental complexity whereby they can handle the complicated challenges of leadership today.
