An increasingly complex and dynamic corporate world requires leadership that activates employees’ independent, goal-oriented actions, offers clarity and orientation, and supports the development of personal competencies.
In many companies, people are still confined to the old convention that “cooperative” management is the way to go. In calm waters, that may be enough. It’s different in controversial situations: What to do when a co-worker or management colleague stubbornly stonewalls? Here, a clear inner structure is often missing – improvisation and gut feeling reign or a relapse into authoritarian patterns = announcements.
What managers then lack is a clear concept for communication under pressure. The 6 leadership tools presented below are a collection of behavioral and communication techniques based on the principles of trust, self-determination, reality principle, dialogue and eye level – and which have proven very successful in practice.
Read an overview of the 6 most effective leadership tools from the field here.
