The Reflective Leader Coach is an AI-based mobile application that supports leaders in continuously reflecting on their leadership. In terms of content, it is based on the Reflective Leader System and the Regulation Theory of Leadership developed by Prof. Dr. Armin Trost.

It guides leaders through the central questions of the Reflective Leader System: Where does a need for regulation arise? What characterizes my leadership context? Which idea of leadership fits it? And how efficient is my concrete leadership action?

Previous reflection results can be stored in a personal profile and revisited in later reflections. Over time, this creates an increasingly clear picture of one’s own leadership context, idea of leadership, and leadership action.

Anyone who asks a general-purpose AI about an acute leadership issue today will often receive plausible but generic recommendations: involve employees, delegate responsibility, show trust, or communicate more. What sounds sensible in principle can be costly in a specific leadership context.

The Reflective Leader Coach therefore takes a different approach. It considers the leader’s leadership context and idea of leadership. Instead of universal recipes, it provides context-specific prompts, possible courses of action, and follow-up questions.

For leaders to use the Coach effectively, they should be familiar with the basic ideas of the Reflective Leader System – especially leadership roles, leadership context, idea of leadership, and efficient leadership. We therefore recommend combining the introduction of the Reflective Leader Coach with professional instruction in the approach. We would be happy to support you.
