In our seminars on leadership, we prepare your managers for the complex challenges they face in their everyday lives. Our basic seminar primarily addresses new managers. Experienced managers receive support in the areas of communication and digital leadership. Last but not least, we also offer non-BWL managers a simulation game on the subject of key figures.

All our in-house seminars are of course tailored to your individual needs. Contact us so that together we can develop a tailor-made training concept for you. You can find our coaching approach here.

Seminar 1

leadership basics

Confident start in the new manager’s role

“At last Manager!” The joy is tremendous over this longed for promotion!  However, it does not take long to find out that with this new position many unexpected situations arise.

By dealing appropriately with different personalities, you can correctly classify irritating behaviour and deal with it constructively. Modern communication techniques for meeting moderation, feedback and conflict discussions will enhance your leadership skills. This will help you win over your employees in favour of your goals.

In this leadership basics seminar, you will learn conversation techniques and psychological explanatory models to help you understand employee behaviour even better. And with the Power-Potential-Profile® you will gain insight into your own personality and attitude towards leadership. This will enable you to skilfully master all the interpersonal challenges of day-to-day leadership.

Seminar 2

leadership hybrid

Combining Leadership 4.0 and traditional leadership.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the world of work. Even after the pandemic, the benefits of working from home, digital communication and remote leadership will remain part of everyday life for many companies. At the same time, some employees will want to be back in the office. But not every day and possibly at different times. Working conditions will be more closely aligned to the individual needs of employees. Managers have the task of managing this dynamisation appropriately. In addition to increased flexibility, islands of stability, clarity and simplicity are needed. The clash between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ worlds of work often leads to conflicts and must be consciously managed.
How can you as a manager consciously organise this challenge?

This is what we deal with intensively in the “leadership hybrid” seminar. You will receive concrete suggestions for leading hybrid teams and practical impulses and tips for your individual situation.

Target group:

  • Managers whose employees work partly digitally and partly in person

Seminar 3

digital leadership

Mastering leadership requirements for digital transformation

The digitalisation of the world of work is making many tasks easier. Leadership is not one of them. The demands placed on managers are becoming more complicated as a result of the digital transformation, as traditional skills are often no longer sufficient.
The effects of digital transformation and Industry 4.0 go far beyond technical aspects. Work processes are becoming more flexible and the culture within organisations is changing. Employees have different expectations and new challenges to overcome. Managers must adapt to an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (“vuca”) working environment. In addition to traditional skills, this requires an expanded leadership repertoire.

In the Leadership 4.0 training programme, you will learn seven leadership skills for dynamic situations and work on your leadership role. We use the Future Skills for Leadership dynamic and Matrix for the Development of Attitude tools for this purpose. The results will provide you with individual impulses for your personal development and for strengthening your leadership role against the backdrop of digital transformation.

Target group:

  • Managers who want to adapt their leadership behavior to the requirements of digital transformation

Seminar 4

leadership business

Business game: Interactive experience in getting to know business

Cash flow, P&L, EBIT, Rol – you might have heard of all these before hand. However, would you actually  know the effect these figures are having? Would you be able to make sense of a balance sheet and  draw conclusions from it? The role of manager does make you jointly responsible for an economical  successful business!

It is therefore not advised only to rely on your present managerial expertise. In order to understand the context of business it is of the utmost importance to acquire a basic knowledge in business studies. This will greatly enhance your ability to converse with your superiors and enable you to explain to your staff economic  decisions taken by the management.

In our business game seminar you will get to know business and management correlations in a fun way. Profit- and loss accounts, balance sheets and important key figures of a business will be easily understood through practical play experience.  The changing from game play to reflecting on targeted inputs leads to a life like and effective learning.  The seminar will be individually adapted to the team concerned. The seminar may be tied in with your specific internal required topics.

Target group:

  • Managers who would like to familiarize themselves with business management in a short form
