Leadership training

How can a company train its managers?

To be successful as a company in today's fast-paced business world, it is essential to have a team of highly qualified managers. But how can a company ensure that its leaders are best trained and prepared for their roles? There are several strategies that companies can use to effectively train and develop their leaders:

It is important for companies to invest in individual development programs. Such programs provide customized training tailored to the specific needs and skills of each manager. By identifying individual strengths and weaknesses, targeted training initiatives can be developed that not only promote professional competence, but also personal development.
Companies should focus continuous further training. The world is constantly changing and managers need to be able to keep up. Regular workshops, seminars, and conferences provide opportunities to learn about the latest trends and techniques in your industry and to learn from the experiences of others.
Coaching is a proven tool in leadership development. An experienced coach not only offers support in overcoming challenges in day-to-day management, but also encourages self-reflection and critical questioning of one's own behavior and decisions. This leads to profound personal development.

The training and development of managers requires strategic planning and a long-term vision. By investing in the development of their managers, companies can build a strong management team that is able to successfully meet the challenges of the future and lead the company to success.

Learning & development

What is innovation leadership?

Innovation leadership refers to the ability of managers to create a creative and innovation-promoting environment in which new ideas can emerge and be implemented. Innovation leadership strengthens the company's innovative power and increases the attractiveness of the employer brand, as well-trained managers create an attractive and supportive working environment that attracts and retains talented employees.

However, it requires specific skills such as creative thinking, risk management, and the ability to inspire and connect teams. Leadership development is a particularly good way to improve these skills in future and existing managers. On the one hand, the targeted transfer of knowledge between theory and practice is ensured, while on the other, the specifics of the organization can be taken into account during further training in innovation leadership. By empowering managers, innovation leadership programs contribute to increasing innovative strength.

Ineffective management can have far-reaching negative consequences for companies, not least the premature termination of committed employees. The development and support of qualified managers are therefore essential for a company's success. However, qualified managers are a rare resource. However, we can develop the necessary leadership qualities internally through tailor-made training programs. The area of innovation leadership, in particular, is becoming increasingly important. Our specialized in-house training in the area of leadership development is designed to develop precisely this type of leader. With a deep understanding of innovation leadership, your leaders will learn how to not only respond effectively to change but also how to shape and drive it for the benefit of the organization.

Our program is customized and tailored specifically to the needs of your organization and leadership team. Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical applications, we foster a learning environment in which your leaders acquire the necessary skills and mindsets to lead innovation, develop creative solutions to complex problems, and create an environment of continuous improvement. This forward-looking focus helps to not only keep your organization competitive today, but also equips it for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

Innovationsprozess als Erfolgsfaktor einführen

Grundsätzlich geht es bei Innovationsprozessen in Unternehmen darum, einen klaren Rahmen zu schaffen, der festlegt, wie Ideen im Unternehmen eingebracht, wie sie weiterverfolgt und wie sie auf den Markt gebracht werden.

Das House of Innovation

Weit hinten, hinter den Wortbergen, fern der Länder Vokalien und Konsonantien leben die Blindtexte. Abgeschieden wohnen sie in Buchstabhausen an der Küste des Semantik, eines großen Sprachozeans. Ein kleines Bächlein namens Duden fließt durch ihren Ort und versorgt sie mit den nötigen Regelialien.

Es ist ein paradiesmatisches Land, in dem einem gebratene Satzteile in den Mund fliegen. Nicht einmal von der allmächtigen Interpunktion werden die Blindtexte beherrscht – ein geradezu unorthographisches Leben. Eines Tages aber beschloß eine kleine Zeile Blindtext, ihr Name war Lorem Ipsum, hinaus zu gehen in die weite Grammatik.

“Viele Sachverhalte werden von uns intern als selbstverständlich wahrgenommen und nicht mehr hinterfragt. Oft hilft ein Blick von außen, um sich von alten Denkmustern zu lösen.”
