How is Harthill Leadership Development Framework different to other forms of Leadership Development Frameworks?
The Leadership Development Framework (LDF) maps development in a completely different way from most psychometric tools.
The art of meaning-making as adults continues to develop in complexity through adulthood and this framework deliberately accelerates that development in order to expand our minds and transform our experience.
This is vertical development, distinct from horizontal development, which expands knowledge and skills but at the same level of thinking and logic.
It is informed by developmental constructivist psychology, a field pioneered by Jane Loevinger in the ’70s, and further nourished by researchers like Susanne Cook-Greuter, Robert Kegan, Bill Torbert.
How does this work to develop leaders?
Although we make meaning of different contexts, every leader has one current Primary Action Logic, from which they benefit most from investing more attention, energy and well-informed developmental activity.
Developing in your ability to navigate more complex thinking is a higher order of change.
The constant cycle of influence happening within you and around you is powerful yet largely invisible, until you learn to notice and explore it. Working intentionally in this complex territory builds muscles that help you to handle complexities with greater agility, which is key to success in organisational life.
Who does this apply to?
There is no ‘one size fits all’ route to lasting vertical development. Every individual in your organisation can use this to develop higher level thinking skills and reactions in complex environments.
