Leaders tend to operate from one of three levels of effectiveness: low, moderate, or high. Research conducted by PriceWaterhouseCooper has revealed that 7% of leaders operate at a low level of effectiveness, 85% operate from a moderate level of effectiveness, and only 8% operate from the top level of effectiveness. These findings suggest:
Yet, there is good news: we can elevate our leaders, and when we do, we simultaneously elevate the effectiveness of the groups they lead, and the organization overall.
A significant challenge facing many leadership developers is their lack of familiarity with a form of development that is essential for helping leaders elevate: Vertical Development. Vertical leadership development is essential for helping leaders elevate their effectiveness beyond the low and moderate levels; it helps leaders expand their thinking and decision-making abilities, enabling them to work at higher levels of effectiveness, they cultivate greater adaptability and resilience so they can handle change, they are more effective in engaging and inspiring their teams, and more.
Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D., is one of the foremost experts and leading voices on Vertical Development and elevated leadership. This workshop is an opportunity to connect with him, gain cutting-edge insights, and gain personalized answers to your questions so that you can walk away feeling confident in your ability to help the leaders in your organization transformationally elevate. And, as a result, you will be influential in elevating the overall effectiveness of your organization.

Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D., is a cutting-edge leadership development author, researcher, and consultant. He helps organizations vertically develop their leaders primarily through a focus on mindsets. Ryan is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership and The Elevated Leader: Leveling Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development. He is also a leadership professor at the College of Business and Economics at California State University-Fullerton.
Leadership training is a $366 billion global industry. Despite that, 75% of organizations say their leadership development programs are not very effective. A primary reason for the lack of development effectiveness is because they almost solely focus on horizontal development (think “tooling up” one’s talent) instead of vertical development (think “leveling up” one’s character). Ryan Gottfredson helps organizations vertically develop their leaders so that they can lead and operate from a higher, more effective level.
