What is the Leadership Program and why should you participate?
Many executives end up in leadership roles in fast-growing companies without having considered the skills and attributes that a leader should have. At the same time, the challenges young managers are facing are constantly changing. They are often still heavily involved in operations and do not have the soft skills or methods they need to get their team to perform at its best. Many think they don’t have time to lead or are simply afraid of doing something wrong and don’t know how to proceed. In addition, emails, apps and gadgets have found their way into our daily lives and many of us lose focus more easily as a result.
The Servant Leader, who is able to lead either authoritatively or cooperatively and coachingly depending on the situation, is in our opinion, the answer to future challenges. Our Leadership Program provides your managers with all the knowledge and methods that a modern leader needs for the actual work challenges. We combine the new work tools of the startups with the established processes of your organization. In addition, we contribute to a mindset that supports the sustainability strategy of your company.
Over a period of up to 6 months, your managers and leaders will begin to reflect more and welcome the continuous change. Your teams will practice the meaningful use of digital media. They will live your corporate vision and values. They will lead self-directed teams with visible results in a healthy and experimental culture.
Within a year at our Leadership Program…
- you will become a reflecting leader with strong self-management
- you will become more flexible and inspired
- you will build more productive and harmonious teams
- you will receive a proven toolset with methods and guidelines for management
- you will maintain new guidelines for your cooperation
- you will be able to apply a higher degree of creativity in your solutions and decision-making
- your presentations and communication will be more precise and inspiring

How do we work together?
You will be accompanied by us during the integration of our program into your daily business and your organizational development. We support you with the actual/target needs analysis (also with online surveys), the communication and the organization of your Leadership Program. Together we will find the right workshop components for your leaders and work with you in half days. We use your existing digital tools or find the appropriate technical support for your individual, sustainable progress.
The basis of our approach is to bring your leaders into an ongoing process of reflection and to support them in their personal development.
We work together and interactively on examples from your everyday life in our workshops. Depending on requirements, there are seminar and training sessions (with role-plays and many exercises). We also support you in the formation of peer groups, give you book and web recommendations and support you with individual coaching.
