Self Transforming Regard multiple ideologies, move away from either / or thinking. See our limitations.
Kegan’s Adult Levels of Development
Autonomy over development
The manager chooses what to focus on, not the coach.
The process is customized for each person.
The coach guides the process (through questions)
The coach is a thinking partner, not an authority/expert.
There is no “content” to cover.
It is a developmental process over time, not an event.
While many organisations say that they need leaders at all levels of the business, a number of interviewees pointed out that this statementappears inconsistent with their practices, as long as they continue to train and develop only their “elite” managers.
A development partner whose main role is to innovate new structures and processes for development….shift responsibility for developing leaders away from HR and toward the current leaders of the organisation….. For L&D professionals this would mean partnering with senior leaders to build a true culture of development.
