Although research increasingly advocates a process-oriented leadership approach, the image of the heroic leader still dominates many leadership concepts. This understanding is strongly supported by scientific and popular media. This creates the impression that leadership can be reduced to a fixed personality profile.
Our understanding deliberately distances itself from this person-centered perspective and instead focuses on the function of leadership. Anyone who wants to truly understand and analyze the essence of leadership must consider the organization as a productive, social, and complex system consider – and ask what benefits arise from which forms of design, control, and development.
We therefore understand leadership as taking responsibility for enabling organizations—and the people within them—to transform resources into benefits: for customers, for the organization, for employees, and for society.
In our understanding, leadership is a comprehensive, society-shaping function—and, to a large extent, it can be taught and learned.
Our services and expertise lie in organizational consulting, executive training, and the implementation of collaborative and participatory interventions—with the aim of enabling effective transformations in organizations.
Instead of ready-made concepts, we work with our clients to develop system- and context-specific solutions. These are geared toward the market and customer needs and integrate existing knowledge within the organization and its environment.
Our approach is based on precise observation, sound analysis, and a consistent focus on solutions. Our mission is to gain a deep understanding of the current situation, comprehend the dynamics behind its development, and clarify the potential consequences. On this basis, we develop viable options for action that enable sound decisions to be made.
