Jan Rybeck, MCC and the Adeption team have authored a new position paper, Vertical Development: A Map for Growing Your Team’s Effectiveness, crafted for leaders dedicated to profoundly enhancing their team’s effectiveness. While traditional team development emphasizes essential skills like communication and collaboration, this position paper takes it further by exploring Vertical Leadership Development (VLD). VLD offers an empirically supported framework for evolving mindsets, helping teams adapt to the complexity and change inherent in today’s business climate.
This paper reveals how mindset development is key to unlocking your team’s potential. Utilizing the Vertical Mindset Indicator (VMI) and digital coaching, Adeption has supported thousands of leaders in refining their approach. Insights from this work show that teams, much like individuals, operate from a mindset “center of gravity” that shapes their decision-making, success criteria, and collective habits.
Inside, you’ll find a comprehensive framework to guide your team’s development journey. Discover maps for expanding mindset capacities, practical examples, and tools to sustain high-functioning team dynamics. Learn how deliberate practice, perspective-taking, and reflection can enhance your team’s ability to flex and adapt.
