Shaping Leadership, Developing Culture

Our understanding of excellent leadership begins with self-leadership, focuses on leading employees, and includes leading the organization. At the heart of this are values (culture) and leadership principles (system).

• BEING ABLE TO LEAD
  Haveing the skills
• WANTING TO LEAD
  Recognizing the need, actively addressing it.
• BEING ALLOWED TO Lead
  Organization, structure, roles

Leadership system

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:

• Organizing Collaboration
  (Focusing on a problem to be solved together)
• Reduce transaction costs
  (Make effective and efficient use of the organization, processes, systems, and tools)
• Resolving Conflicts of Goals and Values
  (courage, clarity, making the most of one’s freedom of action, consistency)
• Ensuring Sustainability
  (Focusing on what’s important, not just what’s most urgent)
• Leading People
  (Leading yourself, developing and supporting people, making room for others)

Your benefit – our service

We offer tailor-made leadership development programs in a variety of formats, as well as curricula for high-potential leaders designed to introduce future leaders to leadership responsibilities at an early stage. In doing so, we focus on specific topics such as communication, conflict resolution, preventing demotivation, setting goals, operational management, self-organization, and change. We place special emphasis on supporting executives and pay particular attention to ensuring a successful transfer of these skills into their day-to-day work.
