Management Team support

Longterm support

However leadership is understood - even in an environment of self-organization, it is considered crucial for market success and a healthy corporate culture. Management teams today are confronted with enormous demands on their decision-making ability, their handling of complexity and the accelerating pace of change, their communication skills and implementation control. 

A good management team needs:

  • How transparent are different points of view, how are conflicts resolved?  How much humor is possible? How resilient are agreements? 

    Depending on the situation, we work with suitable approaches in individual conversations and the moderation of team workshops.

  • How clear is the strategic alignment and how coordinated is the understanding of control for implementation? How do decisions and prioritization work? How naturally is space for reflection and learning guaranteed under operational pressure?

  • How do you manage your team in a collegial manner? How constructive is feedback practiced? How healthy are you leading yourself? How clear are the roles and responsibilities and the collaboration model? 

    What leadership behavior is used to manage the next levels? Does leadership take place implicitly or is it transparent and tangible for the organization?

  • With what awareness do you communicate within the organization? Is there a common understanding of the type, depth and intensity with which employees should be involved in the best possible way? How do you position yourself with customers?

    Depending on your individual needs, we support you in the development process through one-on-one meetings, shadowing and, above all, in management team workshops.

Change Enabling

'The only constance is change. This millennia-old quote from Heraclitus is more valid than ever in today's times of globalization, crises, rapid market cycles and digitalization. 

The change competence - both intellectual and emotional - of management teams offers great added value for companies. Managers find it a great support if they can draw upon a repertoire of methods and have a conscious understanding of how people react to change. Adapted to the initial situation in the team and aligned to the requirements of the organization, we support management teams with:

  • Transfer of change and communication know-how in combination with everyday practice

  • Change tools & methods

  • Developing awareness and understanding of the mechanisms of systems and individuals

  • Change competence in dealing with individuals, teams and the organization. The focus here is on individual attitudes and behavior, as well as working on personal learning potential

  • Working on specific projects from your own environment. These make it possible to directly experience what has been learned and to implement changes in the organization

Coaching

Our everyday lives often keep us so busy that there is little room for consciously thinking about what we are doing - and why. The dynamics in teams, in the hierarchical structure of a company or in interaction with customers can lead to strong tensions and challenges.

Fear of failure, operational hecticness and breaks in communication lead to a diffuse tangle that increasingly determines our actions. Instead of acting consciously, our actions in such situations are increasingly reactive, which often leads to further difficulties and stress.

Coaching for managers serves the purpose of continuous reflection and development. They are also particularly suitable for different situations, for example

  • Acute challenges requiring clarification such as conflict situations, crises in the company or upcoming changes 

  • Position assessment

  • The first 100 days in a new position

  • Values-based leadership

  • Intrapreneurship - the entrepreneur in the company

Moderation and large group moderation

Inspiring dialogue formats, conferences and workshops enable clarification and clarity at the factual level, strengthen communication and trust at the interpersonal level and bring dynamism to teams and organizations. 

Creative and activating formats enable interaction, inspiration and networking between all participants and act as an initial spark to move from talk to action.

We design the workshops - both on-site and virtual for large groups - tailored to your individual needs. For example:

  • Regardless of the number of participants, it is possible to bring people out of their consumer attitude and into participation, create closeness and involve everyone in creative processes or integrate them in finding solutions.

  • Tricky topics, difficult dynamics and muddled situations can be brought to the surface, de-tabooed and made discussable with the help of suitable tools and, above all, many years of experience. 

    Groups can move from destructive situations back to thinking in terms of solutions and a willingness to work together constructively.

  • At all management levels, it is also important to regain a helicopter perspective from the micro-level of ad hoc reactions and operational hecticness. The variety of interpretations of the different ways of thinking in management teams requires the negotiation of a common understanding and, on this basis, effective decision-making.

    On this basis, clarity can be created again in the chaos and a stable perspective / goal orientation can be developed. This, in turn, helps teams and organizations to move from inefficient processes back to focused, coordinated and goal-oriented work.
