Leadership

Leadership is also intelligent management. And much more, too. Because people cannot be managed if they don’t want to be. Leaders therefore need to win the confidence of their staff and to convince them to want to commit themselves.

This can be achieved if the leaders are aware of their responsibility for their duties and their staff and have the courage to take on this responsibility. If they are confident enough to demand a certain level of performance from their staff and to support them in achieving that level. If they communicate actively and openly with their staff, are honest and reliable and show their staff respect and concern, even and especially if things are not going as well as they should. And if they take the time to reflect on what they are doing.

We support leaders with a comprehensive range of offers:

  • Leadership coaching
    We assist leaders in defining their role and in bringing their potential to life, as well as in broadening their range of behaviours and styles.

  • Leadership development programs
    We design customised leadership training in cooperation with our clients, and we also facilitate training courses that have been designed by our clients: geared to the current requirements of the organisation, with the greatest possible sustainability, at all management levels, of varying length and intensity, and in all sectors.
    We also offer training on individual topics, such as communication, dealing with conflicts, presentations, meeting techniques, entrepreneurial thinking.

  • Leadership tools
    We provide support in the development of management tools, for example in the development, improvement, and introduction of qualification systems or in the introduction of integrated management systems.

"Beyond right and wrong there lies a place. There we meet." (Rumi)

I am fascinated by the various ways in which we perceive and see what is around us and use this as a basis for our convictions, different types of behaviour and concepts; they are a challenge to me in my daily work. When I am dealing with individuals, groups, or organisations I aim to ensure that these differences and the emotions that arise with them flow consciously and actively into problem-solving and further development. In this respect, my experience and knowledge, sense of humour and enthusiasm stand me in good stead.
