Can You Accelerate Vertical Development?

Partners with CEOs to evolve their organizations and enables Executives to quickly develop a Synergist Mindset with StageSHIFT's proven experiential Vertical Leadership Program leading to breakthroughs in 'Transformance'
I've been challenged from time to time for our focus on speedy Vertical Development.
The facts: StageSHIFT enables Vertical Development to the advanced Stage of a Synergist Mindset or Transforming Worldview from the conventional competent, even high performing Achievist?3 times faster?i.e., in 1-2 years instead of the 5-6 years that Bill Torbert emailed me as the normal trajectory for this mindset development IF the right conditions and later Stage Coach were both in place.
The thing is many people associate speed with acceleration. If you drive a car and get to your destination 3 times faster, it must be because you drove at a speed 3 times faster than usual and most probably well over the speed limit!
What if it wasn't?the driving speed?
What if it was the road instead??
Instead of driving along a windy road going uphill and descending deep down into valleys where heavy rain makes it difficult to see the road ahead, you took the highway?
You discover you can drive from A to B on a highway in broad daylight with lots of signposts and your own personal interpreter to guide you through the options and obstacles that appear along the way.?
Not only that, but traveling on the highway actually invites you to develop your?traffic awareness and driving capabilities?to drive at higher speeds more safely and sustainably, and cruise across the lanes to navigate other traffic and optimise?everyone's journey??
You arrive feeling refreshed and invigorated,?rather than tired and bedraggled. And you've gained the support and confidence of other drivers along the way!
What if the windy road going uphill and down is an analogy of life by default, and driving along the highway is an analogy of evolution by design accompanied by a guide who has been there, done that themselves, taught hundreds of executives to drive safely and sustainably?
While the speed of StageSHIFT outcomes does depend on the speed at which the car is driven, or the dexterity with which we live our lives, it's not because we push hard on the accelerator. It's because the amount of time spent putting on the brakes, looking for directions, learning how to negotiate a series of unprecedented curves in the road, and wondering how far we are and how much further we need to go, reduces significantly!?

2 个月I can imagine you will get pushback around this! However, this is a baked in part of a being an innovator. From my perspective, the only physiological limiting factor is the speed with which the synaptic reorganisation that underpins our behaviour can be occur: Changeux Allosteric Modulation as a Unifying Mechanism for Receptor Function and Regulation.
