Leading at eye level

Successful leadership and cooperation with non-violent communication

training
This training is held in German.
Successful leaders have three key skills: They think in terms of win-win, can create synergetic solutions and want to understand first and then be understood. Openness, fairness and honest appreciation in dealing with employees create resilient and effective working relationships. Based on the methodology of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, you will come into contact with yourself and your employees in such a way that the willingness to cooperate grows and solutions with added value for both sides emerge.

Contents

Leading as a manager at eye level

  • We focus on sincere and empathetic communication.
  • You develop solutions that employees for you as a manager and your employees (win-win).
  • We look at how sustainable agreements can be reached with each other.

Giving critical feedback in a constructive way

  • How do I share observations fairly and without being judgmental?
  • Confront them directly—even if it is unpleasant.

Attitude and methodology of non-violent communication according to Dr. Marshall Rosenberg

  • Reduce communication blocks - promote willingness to cooperate.
  • You learn to describe observations without judging them.
  • Be aware of your inner state and feelings and express them openly if necessary.
  • How do I communicate my personal needs and concerns?
  • Ask for what we need.
  • We look at how you can create viable solutions.

The art of empathic listening

  • Listening is more than waiting for your turn.
  • Perception: Messages behind resistance, criticism, and disruptive behavior.
  • Understanding does not mean agreement.

Understanding emotions and using them effectively

  • How do I deal with emotions in difficult situations?
  • Take emotions seriously instead of appeasing, rationalizing, blaming or deflecting.
  • Separating responsibilities, resolving entanglements—but how?

Dealing with resistance and rejection

  • Avoid employees saying "yes" and doing "no".
  • Dealing with rejection and a "no" from the other person.
  • How to avoid taking criticism, accusations, and demands personally.

Developing constructive solutions for managers and employees

  • Finding solutions instead of looking for culprits.
