The Reflective Leader System is aimed primarily at companies that want to actively develop and shape good leadership. It is therefore particularly relevant for CEOs, executive boards, supervisory boards, and those responsible for leadership development.
At these levels, there is often a sense that the company has a leadership problem without being able to say exactly what it is. Personnel changes are not always the most efficient solution. In this respect, the Reflective Leader System could provide the foundation for your leadership development.
Das Reflective Leader System ist dann für Sie und Ihr Unternehmen relevant, wenn Sie einer oder mehreren der folgenden Punkte zustimmen.
Our leaders are experiencing increasing strain from operational and urgent tasks. They find themselves engaged in execution more and more often instead of actual leadership action. More and more tasks are ending up on their desks.
Rules and processes that were once considered useful are binding more and more attention. The effort required for execution, coordination, and administration is growing and distracting from productive work.
Employees increasingly seek reassurance “from above” or escalate issues to higher levels instead of independently clarifying, deciding, and acting.
Everyday leadership is increasingly dominated by meetings, emails, and workshops. Yet the growing activity of leaders is not matched by the productivity of the organization.
Our leaders are systematically trained, but the effort involved is out of proportion to the visible benefit – and changes leadership action less than expected.
We use leadership tools such as goal-setting agreements, feedback conversations, performance evaluations, development conversations, or performance appraisals. They are experienced as an annoying box-ticking exercise. Their benefit appears limited.
The Reflective Leader System stands for one central promise:
Leadership in your company becomes more efficient and therefore better.
You create the conditions for greater ability to act and thus for higher productivity and competitiveness with less bound attention – fewer emails, fewer meetings, fewer workshops.
This promise is very clear and very simple – nothing more is needed. Greater satisfaction, more motivation, greater well-being, lower turnover, or fewer sick days can be natural side effects of efficient leadership. But they are not the central target variables.
Let us talk about your situation and your needs. There are three simple ways we can connect:
A personal conversation with executive management, the executive board, or the supervisory board. We need no more than an hour. You will quickly understand the approach and will probably like it, too.
A keynote for your leadership team. Prof. Trost presents the approach, and you can see how it resonates with your leaders. Then we take it from there.
A simple Leadership Screening. With just a few questions for selected leaders and employees, we quickly gain a robust picture of where and to what extent leadership in your organization is costly.
