How to Fix Leadership Development | Ryan Gottfredson | TEDxColeParkStudio

Leadership development is broken. Seventy-five percent of organizations rate their leadership development programs as not very effective. If we want to fix leadership development, we need to shift our focus away from horizontal development to vertical development. Ryan Gottfredson, Ph.D. is a cutting-edge leadership development author, researcher, and consultant. He helps organizations vertically develop their leaders primarily through a focus on mindsets. Ryan is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of Success Mindsets: The Key to Unlocking Greater Success in Your Life, Work, & Leadership. And, he is the author of the upcoming book, The Elevated Leader: Leveling Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development. He is also a leadership professor at the College of Business and Economics at California State University, Fullerton. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Fantastic message! We all need more healing in our lives to help us excel in everything we do.

Love love LOVE Dr. Gottfredson's work, and his book "Success Mindsets" was life-changing for me. It's not just about what we know (or what we can learn), but how we think, and where those thoughts come from.

Ryan's message taken to heart: The key to fixing dysfunctional leadership is diagnosing the problem of the "operating system." Sometimes there are microchips in the system from a previous injury.

I love this message. My question is, what are the next steps Ryan takes a leader through to then heal that trauma? How does he integrate his skills with what might be considered "therapy" to help his clients do this vertical work? My husband and I are business owners and we want to do that kind of trauma healing work on ourselves and also have it translate directly to our roles as leaders in our business too. Ryan, do you have specific courses or programs we can sign up for to get those results?
