Leadership has become more demanding in terms of content, more time-consuming, increasingly challenging and more important overall than ever before. Discover how you can lead successfully as a versatile leader with dignity, values and trust in the digital world of work 4.0 – through a suitable mindset, a broader understanding of the goals and motives of leadership and the right communication skills. Firstly, learn to understand leadership in the context of social systems. This involves an understanding of leadership, neurobiological findings and core skills. This is followed by specific instructions on how to become a leader ’with heart’.
Leadership and personality
Part 1 of the book is about seeing people in their entirety and understanding leadership in the context of social systems. The analysis of the framework conditions deepens the topics:
VUCA world,
leadership roles and styles,
and the experience of crisis.
Models such as the circle of potential, the two-point model, the ’Big Five’ and the ’Hogan Personal Inventory’ provide a basis for a better understanding of human nature. They answer questions such as:
How should people be viewed in the modern working environment?
What helps and what hinders the development of their potential?
How should human behaviour patterns be viewed?
The role of human values and dignity becomes clear. By combining different experiences and findings from individual psychology, neurobiology, cybernetics, systems theory and automation technology, a new perspective on leadership can be derived: The so-called Communication Flow Model (KFM). This leadership model integrates business and social tasks and requirements in equal measure. The interaction between manager and employee is depicted as the regulation of a complex social system. This makes it clear what opportunities arise for the development of the inner compass – both for the manager and for the employees. Instead of reacting defensively to crises, they can be used to increase one’s own resilience skills. In the end, it is about the central importance of dignity and the path back to vitality, curiosity and hopeful confidence in being able to shape the future.
Analysing team structure and leadership personality
Part 2 is designed to help you put the courage and curiosity you hopefully awakened into practice right away. In line with the EMMA principle – ’Someone has to start’ – you will learn several ways you can choose to become a ’leader with heart’. It’s about discovering and developing your inner compass, based on answers to one of life’s central questions: ’Who am I?’ With the help of a tool from depth psychology, the ’boat story’, concrete ways are shown to get to know yourself better and to arrive at a personal self-assessment.
Through the proven LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method, purely cognitively inaccessible resources can be used to work on the personality. Your own values are scrutinised, exchanged and supplemented. Blockages are recognised and dissolved. New goals are developed. Solutions are discovered and people are encouraged to embark on the lifelong journey of growing into one’s vocation. The ’Leadership Development 4.0’ personality profile developed by the Steinbach & Partner Group with three central key competences will be presented. It focuses on the level of maturity of the personality in relation to the requirements arising from the digitalisation of the business world. With the new view of the individual in their individuality, teams can also optimise their appreciative collaboration. Every team member is a boat and here you can find out how the boats can become a fleet.
