Over the past years, you’ve proved yourself as an outstanding performer and expert in your field. In recognition, your company has promoted you. Congratulations, your career is moving in a new direction… But now, 6 months down the road, your perception of what management implies has changed profoundly. Being superb at your job doesn’t necessarily give you what it takes to get the people you are now responsible for to perform.

Whatever path you took to management you will quickly recognize: the skill set necessary to carry out the tasks of leading and managing is broad, and they are usually “soft”. Our active learning approach will help participants to acquire a framework for their daily challenges, practice new skills and alternative approaches, and finally plan for concrete actions and behavioral changes. We trigger the mindset shift with our tailor-made 360° surveys. To embed the management within the right strategic framework, we support you in defining meaningful leadership profiles that prepare your managers for the future. To make the most of your improvement efforts it is helpful to get a clear picture of  “the terrain”. In order to measure managerial quality, we offer state of mind evaluations to reveal engagement, motivation, satisfaction and buy-in, and give you an idea of where and how to leverage your staff’s abilities. Some issues are not even “personal” but cultural, which can be very elusive since those are about dealing with the unfamiliar; that’s why we offer culture fit assessment to make you aware of trouble-causing cross-cultural issues. Based on these inputs, we tailor leadership development programs to focus on the needs of the participants, teams and organizations.
