Performance leadership in management

Lead clearly. Strengthen responsibility. Make an impact.

training
This training is held in German.
In challenging times, performance and results become more important. However, traditional tools such as target systems and performance processes reach their limits when complexity increases and orientation is lacking. Performance leadership expands these systems and has a strategic, structural, and cultural impact—with concrete levers for effectiveness in everyday management. You will learn how to translate strategic goals into contributions, organize collaboration efficiently, and activate the motivation and energy of your teams. In this way, you will strengthen identification and promote performance—clearly, in a way that is suitable for everyday use and can be applied directly.

Performance Leadership – Creating impact on three levels: Basic understanding & conceptual framework

  • Understanding what performance leadership means today – beyond traditional management.
  • The 3-level model for effective leadership: strategy (what), structure (how), culture (why).
  • Discover new levers: for greater orientation, efficiency, and motivation in everyday management.

Strategic level - combining clarity with meaning

  • Communicate strategic goals in a relatable way (e.g., impact storytelling).
  • Make individual contributions visible on a 1:1 basis (e.g., strategic sparring).
  • Strengthening responsibility, participation, and impact.

Structural level – making cooperation effective

  • Rethinking meetings – focused, efficient, and binding (e.g., meeting morphing).
  • Define roles holistically—with contribution, purpose, and relationship (e.g., responsibility + map).
  • Use structural levers to shape performance.

Cultural level – activating energy and motivation

  • Making psychological safety tangible – as the basis for team performance (e.g., Safe Zone Game).
  • Understanding and specifically strengthening individual motivation (e.g., motivator mapping).
  • Shaping culture as a performance factor.

Transfer & application

  • Take away practical tools and mini-guides for implementation.
  • Effectively developing leadership skills—individually and in exchange with peers.
