Because leadership sets the framework: clarity, freedom, and trust do not arise on their own. Leaders determine whether teams can boldly break new ground or remain stuck in the old ways. The ability to innovate is therefore always also a leadership skill.
We start with the fundamental management understanding that shapes a company. If managers have very diverse backgrounds, many leadership styles coexist, and there is no common understanding of corporate governance and overall strategy, leadership training is of little use. We combine this analysis with consulting and training. It's not just about individual seminars, but about a tailor-made management and leadership development program: assessment of the current situation, a shared leadership model, practical modules, and iterative joint learning in everyday life.
HR is a partner and co-creator together with the management roles in the company. Together, we develop roadmaps, coordinate modules, and ensure integration into existing personnel development processes. In this way, leadership development becomes part of the organization, not just a “project.”
A leadership model is a shared compass: principles, values, and rituals that provide clarity on how the leadership role is structured within the company. It provides orientation for employees and consistency for managers. This is indispensable, especially during transformations.
It usually starts with a check-up (interviews, feedback, analysis). We then develop a model with the management team and HR and use it as a basis for targeted training and coaching modules. Regular reviews ensure progress and sustainability.
Typically, there are 1-2 day sessions every 4 weeks, supplemented by short reviews. The total period for sustainable development is usually 6-9 months, with measurable results already after the first modules.
