Effective Leadership
Companies with high productivity and profitability are characterized by the fact that their managers are not only allowed to lead, but also can and genuinely want to. This is because they have the necessary competencies and tools for professional and contemporary leadership work. The result is satisfied employees who are committed to the goals of the company and the needs of the customers.
Frustrating everyday life:
Overwhelmed leaders
In many companies, leadership is still taken for granted as something that is done on the side and that some people can simply do better than others. This is why the best specialists are often promoted to management positions. However, being a top expert in your field does not automatically mean that you can also successfully lead a team. In many cases, the transition to a management position is almost like a change of profession, with other competencies suddenly becoming important: personal and interpersonal skills suddenly take top priority. These human qualities, often referred to somewhat pejoratively as «soft skills», are often not developed systematically, which leads to overburdened managers and dissatisfied employees.
Effective programs:
Developing leadership competence
Today, however, the professionalization of leadership – and thus the systematic development of related competencies – is an indispensable driver for the profitability of any company. Effective leadership requires not only the ability of a leader to build trusting, resilient relationships and to maintain them even under difficult conditions. In particular, it also requires a stable personality with awareness of one’s own strengths and limitations and therefore the ability to deal with oneself and others in an authentic, composed, and appreciative manner.
