Vertical Development

Global Leader Associates
GLA supports leaders and organisations in transforming their impact through world-leading vertical measures, coaching, programmes and consulting.

All new MyWorldView® Certification Program!

This gateway program, open to all, is the root to becoming an Authorized Practitioner and all the associated benefits of joining this community.

The program introduces coaches, business leaders, consultants, leadership development specialists, researchers and practitioners to adult development (vertical) theory and practice. This program combines GLA’s deep experience in the field, an experiential learning approach based on Action Inquiry and the game changing MyWorldView® psychometric.

Overview

Today’s leaders face challenges amongst those never seen before. Alongside societal events such as pandemics, global wars, political and environmental instability and supply change issues forming a volatile, uncertain and complex world for leaders to work in, they must also manage the complexities of their day to day jobs: hitting targets, reporting to stakeholders, managing colleagues and team dynamics as well as blending in family commitments and looking after themselves thrown into the mix.


Living and working in this context can be overwhelming. Skill-based training, or even giving leaders more resources no longer cuts it in helping them to succeed.


The best way to help leaders navigate their own personal context effectively is by helping them shift how they think and act, increasing awareness of themselves, of others and the systems around them. As we grow this awareness, we gain more options to navigate the challenges we face and thereby find better outcomes. An essential part of this process is to assess the thinking patterns of a leader. Then, equipped with these insights, the leader is better able to more intentionally notice and adapt their mindset or worldview in the moment.

Greater awareness of personal thinking patterns and how they might be managed, enables better actions and decision-making. Alongside a deeper understanding, this leads to:

  • improved personal effectiveness
  • greater appreciation of other perspectives and enhanced inter-personal dynamics
  • more intentional shaping of organizational culture


That’s at the heart of the work in vertical development and the new scalable solution in MyWorldView – the all-new vertical assessment and a digital learning experience from GLA, world leaders in vertical development.


MyWorldView involves a leader completing 30 sentence stems in any way they see fit. Analysis then looks at these responses for complexity of awareness of self, others and the systemic. A person is then profiled across 7 developmental stages or worldviews and includes highlighting when an individual is transitioning between worldviews. Each stage envelops the last and offers an increased capacity for complexity.


In a world’s first for a validated and reliable AI scored vertical measure, AI technology is used to score MyWorldView. Developed in partnership with leading AI academics, it’s based on decades of research into adult development and GLA’s large pool of assessment data from MyWorldView’s sibling tool, the Global Leadership Profile.
