 Vertical – Growing into a new stage of personal development  Horizontal – learning new competencies consistent with one’s current or next stage of personal development  Almost all 360s focus on horizontal development only

Adult Development We continue to develop after childhood. These adult stages of development involve an increasing awareness and consciousness that at some level is hidden from us. It just evolves. At a particular stage of development, we don’t see the next stage. We are stuck in our world view and the way things should be. We only get to “see” the previous stage until we have gone to a “higher” stage.
