The apostle Paul, a prolific writer and theologian, left behind a corpus of epistles that profoundly shaped Christian thought.

Understanding the Differences between Lateral and Vertical Leadership

Through the years, I have observed various leadership styles and methods. Some are effective in certain contexts but significantly limit their reach because of their limited perspective. This article aims to explore the differences between what I call “lateral” and “vertical” leadership. By lateral leadership, I refer to a person who is horizontal in scope and perspective and functions more as a facilitator of vision, ideas, and abilities. By vertical leadership, I am referring to a person who is vertical in scope and perspective and has more of a narrow view regarding how to accomplish the vision and with whom they will work.
