Ryan Gottfredson, who has a PhD in Organizational Behavior and is a cutting edge author in Leadership Development spoke about this on a podcast I listened to the other day and it spoke to me Horizontal growth is a good thing This type of growth is when we add skills and knowledge that helps us improve in things we already know It helps us improve independent thinking, efficiency and effectiveness Vertical growth is more expansive This type of growth is when we come to an enlightenment in our thinking, reacting, and expectations It helps us have more compassion and love for ourself and others Vertical growth falls in line with coaching and spirituality Professor Gottfredson explains human thinking in 3 levels: Mind 1.0: Focused on our comfort, safety, and belonging.
