New Leadership Programs for experienced managers

Navigating confidently between hierarchy and self-organization

This qualification program is held in German.
Experienced managers currently find themselves in a particularly challenging situation. They are expected to set an example of trust-based, cooperative leadership and communication at eye level in order to empower young managers and employees. At the same time, they themselves often operate within the tight corset of classic hierarchical leadership. How can this balancing act be successfully managed without getting caught up in the different expectations and behaviors? Which understanding of roles is promising and which skills need to be developed more? How can hierarchical stakeholders, employees and managers be taken along on the journey? Personal and professional orientation is provided by the Be6! Leadership Framework, which serves as an agile compass for determining where you stand and as a competency model, identifies relevant leadership fields and provides important impulses on the topics of attitude, leadership and communication - especially for hybrid organizations that live both networked, self-organized and classic, hierarchical leadership.
