Leadership

Excellent leadership provides orientation, room for maneuver, motivation and energy. We accompany and support managers in their challenging tasks, work together to further develop leadership and corporate culture, and offer effective programs for the next generation of managers.

Designing management systems, developing culture

Our understanding of excellent leadership starts with self-leadership, focuses on employee leadership and includes the leadership of the responsible organization. The focus is on values (culture) and management principles (system).

  • BEING ABLE to lead
    Having competences
  • WANTING to lead
    Identify requirement, actively take it up
  • BEING ALLOWED to lead
    Organization, structure, roles

Managers are the ones who shape the culture in organizations within the framework of the existing management systems. Accordingly, designing leadership systems always means developing leaders and culture.

The leadership system forms the systematic basis when leadership is understood as a combination of attitude and task with several themes.

Your benefit

  • Mission statement and leadership principles are explicitly clarified and designed and actively communicated according to the orientation (vision, purpose, strategy)
  • The leadership system provides a stable frame of reference for demanding leadership work (top-down and bottom-up) This makes leadership much more likely
  • Consistency of alignment (normative framework) and implementation are ensured
  • The often recognizable failure due to a lack of clarity regarding vision, purpose, culture and strategy is avoided
  • Intensive consideration of the feelings, the people who want to and are able to participate in the design or thinking

Our services

  • Extensive experience in the design of leadership systems – in appropriate depth to the size and characteristics of the respective organization
  • Design of mission statement, management principles, target culture, set of values, vision and strategy
  • Accompanying cultural analyses in order to recognize the living, visible but also invisible cultural characteristics and to be able to design the management system according to the desired culture
  • Designing information and knowledge transfer formats to bring newly designed leadership systems to life

Developing managers

We support the development of managers in a wide range of formats. In overview, the following condensation of the five tasks of effective leadership (source: Dr. Reinhard K. Sprenger) seems very helpful to us:

  • Organize collaboration
    (Reflection on a problem to solved together)
  • Reduce transaction costs
    (Use organization, processes, systems, tools effectively/efficiently).
  • Deciding on conflicting goals and values
    (Courage, clarity, use of room for maneuver, consistency)
  • Ensure future viability
    (dealing with the important and not only the urgent)
  • Lead people
    (Leading oneself, developing people, promoting, making room)

Your benefit – our service

  • Junior management curricula to introduce future managers to management tasks at an early stage
  • Working on specific topics – communication, conflict management, avoiding demotivation, designing goals, operational control, self-organization, change

Rhomberg Bau GmbH, Bregenz,
DI Hubert Rhomberg (Managing Director, Rhomberg Holding)

“Following a very positive initial meeting, we decided to have FACT Consulting provide accompanying support for our IT process organization. We have already found “Shaping Together” to be purposeful and constructive during the intensive preparation phase. In the workshop, in addition to a good mix of technical topics and soft skills, there was space and appreciation for the individual characteristics and diversity of unique people. However, at FACT Consulting see the fact that consulting does not end with a concept and a plan of action as a special USP, but that personal discussions with those affected are also accompanied and thus the implementation is also supported by the consulting side. The professional follow-up and structured logging of the jointly achieved workshop results should certainly also be mentioned.”
