ATD Texas Special Event: Vertical Development: The Key to Transformational Leadership Development

Vertical Development: The Key to Transformational Leadership Development

With Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D.

75% of organizations rated their leadership development programs as not very effective, and 71% of organizations do not feel their leaders are able to lead their organizations into the future (BrandonHall Group, 2015). These statistics suggest that typical and traditional leadership development efforts are not currently meeting the demands of today's leaders. A new approach is needed.

In this session, Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D., a Wall Street Journal best-selling author, will introduce what vertical development is, how it differs from traditional horizontal development efforts, and how you can employ vertical development in your organization to transformationally elevate your leaders.

Registrants will get access to Dr. Gottfredson’s Personal Mindset Assessment and have a chance to win one of Dr. Gottfredson’s best-selling books, including: "The Elevated Leader: Leveling Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development!"
