Why Ego Development?
Many scientific studies suggest that Ego Development is a “master trait” of personality that has a profound impact on what is fundamentally possible for you as a human being, both in terms of content and socially.
With each stage of Ego Development that you reach as a human being, certain capacities unfold, which are only then fully and effortlessly available to you. At the same time, each stage of development contains fundamental limits to which you as a human being are still subject and which you cannot simply “break” – unless you continue to develop vertically.
Worldwide research shows that people with increasing ego development:
understand themselves, other people and social situations better
are able to master complex social requirements more successfully and sustainably
become more tolerant and accept other people more in their respective being
are able to implement complex organizational change projects more successfully
are able to enter into deeper relationships with others (friends, spouses, coworkers, etc.) without having to forget themselves in the process
are able to carry out responsible management functions more comprehensively
are able to deal more freely with themselves and the demands placed on them.
For executives
Develop a new level of personal effectiveness.
For coaches and consultants
Gain a “deeper” understanding and a differentiated coaching approach with ego development.
For companies and organizations
Sustainable change through vertical development.
For private individuals
Ego Development - The Book
Basic work on scientific research, stage model, comparison to personality theories and practical relevance of ego development
What readers write about it, from reviews on amazon (german edition):
And finally there is a work that deals with the subject of "vertical development" in a more differentiated, precise, more readable and profound manner than the literature I have known so far.
Anyone who has experienced Thomas Binder knows how much he stands for this topic and with how much passion and incredible depth he speaks about this important subject.
The book makes this complex topic tangible and discussable. From my point of view: 5 stars plus!

What we would like to bring to the world
A world with ever more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous contexts (VUCA) needs people who can deal with this adequately and effectively. From our point of view, increasing personal maturity makes a decisive contribution to this.
Because Ego-Development is not an end in itself – no matter how fascinating this topic may be.
The model of ego development has been extensively researched in psychology for decades. We want to contribute to bringing this treasure trove of knowledge and insight from the academic world into our world. Technical competence is important, but often not sufficient on its own.
We support this through a variety of activities:
Our own research
Linking and utilizing the treasure trove of knowledge already available
Developing further methods and procedures
Publications and public lectures
Training of coaches, consultants, HR professionals and executives
Ego Development coaching for people in responsible positions
in comprehensive organizational consulting projects with a vertical development orientation
About the Center for Ego Development + Transformation
