Self-Evolution 3D

Overview

Treats personal growth as three orthogonal dimensions — Height (mission vantage), Width (perspective breadth), Depth (self-awareness accuracy) — each with a distinct mechanism and failure mode. The goal is to identify the current growth constraint and prescribe the targeted move; optimizing all three simultaneously produces shallow movement on each.

Neighbor skills: after cognitive-evolution-stages for stage context; before metacognition if Depth is constrained; with deliberate-practice to design treatment; with nine-level-cognitive-tower for vertical context.

When to Use

• "I've been working hard but I'm not growing" / "how do I grow as a person / leader / founder?"
• Development programs produce knowledge but not capability change.
• High performer plateaued in leadership despite strong functional expertise.
• High-quality work not translating to organizational influence.

When NOT to use: specific functional skill gap (use deliberate-practice); acute crisis; external structural constraint; no honest external feedback available.
