Leadership in the 21st century – leading with humility and power

Workshops, seminars, lectures

The 21st century imposes new demands on executives – a new understanding of leadership is needed. In particular, our age requires a trainable virtue: HUMILITY

While the term “humility” may be hard to swallow for some, it denotes nothing else, but a powerful form of influencing. Those who lead with humility not only have a positive effect on themselves and their perceived leadership potential, but also measurably influence their own employees as well as their own company.

Effects range from greater performance, heightened creativity and better error management to less stress, reduced turnover as well as better company results.

There are three additional challenges that need to be mastered in line with the motto: While eye to eye with Artificial Intelligence we need to strengthen us humans!

  • Employ human software to achieve for oneself and others what is desired: Influencing without manipulation, bringing negotiations to a successful conclusion
These challenges result in key notes, seminar and workshop topics that may also be combined with each other.
