Leadership should not just happen “incidentally,” as a necessary evil alongside a multitude of projects. Leadership carries great responsibility, it has a lot to do with self-leadership, and leadership can also show itself very human and vulnerable. Then trust can arise, people can communicate without fear and contribute their full potential to a livable future.
Our Leadership Salons with CEOs of German companies have shown how sustainable management can succeed through very consciously acting top management. We have learned from Alexander Birken, Saori Dubourg, Antje von Dewitz, Aysel Osmanoglu, Thomas Schmidt, and Benjamin Adrion how they, as decision-makers, strive for the best possible decisions, argue and want to understand, do not fend off contradictions but invite them, want to love people and thus make their companies fit for the future.
In dealing with HOW this succeeds, our publication emerged. We identified four perspectives that help to shape good, authentic leadership:
# See myself
# See us
# See how others see us
# See the world
For each perspective, we have developed reflection questions that can initiate a way out in stuck situations. Our little booklet does not come with a raised finger. It is meant to make you want to change perspectives. And a solution does not always have to be found immediately. Sometimes it takes additional thought loops to understand all aspects.
Leadership is therefore still desirable, even if it changes! There is a lot at stake! We now need responsible personalities who mean it seriously.
The members of our leadership network regularly report their challenges, but also their successes and how they move forward with small steps. The content of our publication does not claim to be complete and should be continuously developed with practitioners.
