True Leadership Journey

The True Leadership JOURNEY is the leadership development program for effective sustainable leadership.

We invite leaders to immerse themselves in our True Leadership JOURNEY. Benefit from the many development opportunities for your sustainable business and align your team for the future.

The True Leadership JOURNEY builds transformational skills that support ethical reflection, responsible implementation and sustainable work outcomes. And it does so on three levels: my personal attitude and role as a leader, effectively empowering my team and leading them to success, and generating positive added value for stakeholders and society as an entrepreneur with a clear purpose, strategy and business goals.

The Journey is designed as a developmental journey and goes over several modules and months depending on the format. You have the choice between an open and a company-internal offer as well as between face-to-face workshops or digital implementation.

The True Leadership JOURNEY Success factors for building future-relevant leadership competencies:

  • Three practice-relevant modules of 3.5 days each with impulses, reflections and exercises

Participants Feedback

 

„The topic of sustainable leadership is something I haven't explored in such depth before, and it's something I'll be paying attention to in the future.“

“What particularly impressed me was the logical link between people, profit and the environment right from the start. In the hectic day-to-day business, it is important to link these three aspects because this is the only way to solve today's challenges.”

Sustainable leadership means not only following laws and guidelines but also keeping an eye on the big picture with an eye to the future and setting a good example in the company - as well as in society. What will tomorrow's world look like because you are a leader today?

  • Building sustainable networks through participation
  • Translating purpose & corporate strategy into clear business goals
  • Cross-generational value orientation as a compass for cooperation

In three modules, these topics are examined from different perspectives:

  1. Leading Myself: Recognizing, reflecting, and effectively using one's own values, goals, and resources.
  2. Leading Others: Enabling the team to perform at its best and also thinking about stakeholders outside the team boundaries.
  3. Leading the Business: Shaping social transformation as a company for the future.
