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.

onion: Consultancy Network

As partners in onion: Consultancy Network we are linked by a mutual desire for a society in which a balance exists between economic, ecological and social values. At the same time, this desire is the guiding principle for what we do and how we do it.

Through our consultancy work we help to ensure that companies and organisations are successful in the marketplace and that their staff produce effective work in a positive working environment that allows them to develop.

As a rule, our task is to help steer, monitor and assess our clients’ development processes. Our work is based on the awareness that the responsibility for a problem and how to solve it lies at all times with the client, that there is not necessarily only one correct way to meet the client’s requirements and that our intervention can produce desired and undesired effects, even in unexpected places. This systemic understanding influences how we work.

The basis for cooperation at onion: Consultancy Network is mutual trust, openness and concern, an interest in what the other partners are doing and in the possibility of joint professional development. We work together for our clients, we exchange know-how and experience and we learn with and from each other.

The partners in onion are all independent from a business point of view and each is responsible for his or her own products and for marketing them. We are linked by a network because in this way we can achieve added professional and personal value for our clients and for our professional activities.

onion: Consultancy Network was founded in 1991.
