Vertical development in the workplace (Paperback or Softback)

Peter Bluckert is a writer and pioneer in leadership development coaching and facilitation. Working from a Gestalt perspective, he continues to craft a new and radical approach to vertical development practice. In this short book, Peter includes extended chapters on Coaching from a Vertical Lens and Coaching Executive Leadership Teams and also presents...

- The rationale for vertical development in the workplace

- The optimal workplace conditions for vertical development

- The organisational context as an enabler (and disabler) of vertical development

- Mapping the developmental journey and stage profiling

- Deep-dive vertical leadership development programmes

This book is written for current and next-generation business leaders; talent and OD directors and their teams; HR and learning and development professionals; coaches, trainers and facilitators; and anyone in the fields of personal and professional development.

The founder of Courage and Spark(R), practice leaders in the vertical development field, Peter Bluckert has created and led four international organisation development consultancies. During a consultancy and coaching career spanning nearly forty years, working with executives and teams from a wide range of private and public-sector organisations, Peter has built a reputation as both a thought-leader and innovative designer of transformational learning experiences. His desire to see improved standards in the field of Executive Coaching led him to join forces with other coaching pioneers and co-found the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) in 2000 and he remains committed to this work. Best described as a Practitioner, rather than Academic, he believes that good theory strengthens good practice. Peter is regularly asked to speak at International Conferences and has delivered presentations and programmes in Europe, the US, Asia, The Pacific and Africa.
