Development Intensive For Professionals
Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter is pleased to invite you to an intimate, intensive exploration of the Leadership Development Framework (LDF), a framework that illuminates a sound understanding of human development, with demonstrated application in organizational contexts (see Rooke and Torbert, Harvard Business Review, April 2005).
The Leadership Development Profile (LDP) was developed in conjunction with Bill Torbert’s Leadership Development Framework. It combines the Washington University Sentence Completion Test with Susanne’s extensive and rigorous research in adult development. It is Harvard-tested, and the most reliable and cost-effective stage measure currently on the market. It measures nine levels of adult learning and emergence.
Susanne will be supported by Beena Sharma, who will be co-facilitator and the point person for all inquiries regarding this program.
More about the LDF
The Leadership Development Framework offers a profound understanding of how and why adults behave as they do. While focusing on the individual interior development, it seamlessly fits into an integrally informed perspective.
The Leadership Development Framework describes nine stages of leadership
development of increasing level of complexity and integration. Each stage
is generally more effective, flexible, and insightful than the previous
one. The LDF also identifies the capabilities and limitations of each
stage. Extensively researched and validated, it describes what promotes
and impedes development to each successive stage.
What makes the LDF & LDP unique or distinctive?
Most leadership development approaches in organizational and professional practice today promote adult learning through a lateral, skill-based approach. The LDF uniquely focuses on both lateral growth (competency acquisition) and vertical, transformational development (gaining greater capacity).
In addition, the LDF makes the most subtle and explicit distinctions at the high-end of the personal developmental spiral, and includes ego transcendent (spirit) perspectives.
The LDP measure is the best tool for identifying self-actualizers, the very individuals most likely capable of integrally-oriented, transformative leadership necessary to survive in today’s demanding and ever-changing environments.
