The StageSHIFT Vertical Holistic Leadership Profile
A Self-Assessment for Executive Leaders to find out more about Vertical Development and clarify their Developmental Trajectory.
A Proven Fast Track that is 4 times more effective in 10% of the time invested
In terms of Vertical Development, only leaders who hold their centre of gravity at Synergist can rise above the disruption, build innovative and collaborative partnerships, and lead systemic transformation. Yet only 8% of executive leaders profile here and their proportion has only been growing at the rate of 1% per decade (PwC-Harthill).
A research study showed that 30% of participants in a deliberately developmental program shifted to a later stage following >20-days in offsite leadership programs (Vincent, 2015).
This contrasts with 100% of the strategic leaders engaged in a StageSHIFT Coaching Program shifting at least one stage in one year after an average of just 8 coaching sessions, including 20% shifting two stages to Synergist (Braks, 2020). This amounts to a 120% StageSHIFT in a total of 2 days spread throughout the year.
StageSHIFT promises vertical outcomes fast. We offer a distinctive value proposition that integrates on-site development, enterprise evolution and executive coaching in holistic leadership development that goes to the heart of identity to expedite vertical evolution.
Antoinette's new book sets out the executive prototypes at progressive stages and the drivers and dynamics of vertical development that underpin the StageSHIFT approach.
