Leadership personality for challenging times

As a manager, you repeatedly find yourself - especially in times of crisis - in areas of great tension: personally, in management relationships, in your changed area of responsibility and, last but not least, in the realignment of the organizational structure and culture under the conditions of New Work. The resulting complexity and the high level of uncertainty fueled by the accumulation of crises make it challenging to take clear action with predictable consequences. At the same time, it is now all the more necessary to sharpen your view in all directions and to perceive your actions from different systemic perspectives - and to shape them coherently.
The leadership approach in this practice-oriented and personal online format helps you to consciously grasp the complex requirements and need for change under conditions of uncertainty and to implement them promptly in your individual situation. To do this, it is helpful to know your own personality well in order to become authentically and coherently effective. With the recognized INSIGHTS potential analysis, a detailed interpretation discussion and personal coaching sessions as well as a differentiated package of coordinated online content with up-to-date e-learning, you will receive useful approaches and helpful input. Tailor-made tools, alternative courses of action for confident leadership and new leadership skills will strengthen your leadership personality in the face of challenges, changes and crises.
