Shared leadership: Sharing leadership - but the right way!

Practical models and success factors for shared leadership

This training is held in German.
In an increasingly complex business world, a manager can no longer know, oversee and solve everything. Sharing leadership makes leadership better. The models in shared leadership range from leadership tandem (co-leadership, top sharing) to delegation of leadership tasks in groups (collective leadership) to complete self-organization in teams. Sharing leadership relieves the burden on managers, gives employees more responsibility, more creative freedom and more development opportunities and allows teams to mature. This requires a new attitude, new skills and adapted framework conditions for everyone involved. This action-oriented training course teaches you everything you need to know, understand and be able to do in order to put shared leadership into practice and introduce it in your environment.
