In this episode we discuss adult vertical development and how an understanding of a leader's developmental stage can radically enhance/impact on their performance and what change that might make to the coaching you do.

"Exceptional leaders in even moderately complex environments outperform their average peers by 225% " This was research by Mckinsey that confirms that the difference between average and top performing leaders becomes radically amplified as the challenge becomes more complex.

We talk about Robert Kegan’s metaphor: Fill the Cup AND Expand the Cup and share Nick Petrie’s content about Vertical Leaders.
