1. Children develop in steps or “stages” (Piaget)2. Adults also develop in stages (Kohlberg, Kegan,

Torbert, Cook-Greuter, Wilber)3. Adults become more mature as they “grow up” and

develop “bigger minds.”4. Stages of development shape how we think and act –

these are our action logics.5. There are (at least) 7 transformations possible in

adulthood.

Adult Development

Development = Horizontal + Vertical

Vertical Development refers toexpanding the ability to think and act in more complex, systemic, and interdependent ways.

It’s about how you think.

Horizontal Development refers to the adding of more knowledge, skills, and competencies.

It’s about what you think.

There are really two types of leadership development: horizontal and vertical.

fht-model-of-human-development/

Action inquiry is a lifelong process of transformational learning that individuals, teams, and whole organizations can undertake if they wish to become:

• Increasingly capable of listening into the present moment from which the future emerges;

• Increasingly alert to the dangers and opportunities of the present moment; and

• Increasingly capable of performing in effective, transformational, and sustainable ways.
