Executive Leadership
The add-on for your in-company "Leadership-Development" program
Today's leader is not someone who knows all the answers because in this world it is impossible. He or she is not someone who makes decisions and gives orders in the old military model of leadership. Rather, the new leader is someone who can assess a situation, brings people together, builds consensus, and discovers solutions, drawing on the talents of everyone involved. The new leader is a facilitator, a communicator, a team builder, who realizes that our greatest natural resources are our minds and hearts, together with those of the people around us. He or she faces constantly the unknown, standing on the edge of previous knowledge and ability.
Development of leadership means therefore also working on ones own personality since after all, leadership cannot be achieved by techniques alone; rather it is rooted in the complete person, on inner strength.

Leadership
I don’t think it is unreasonable to expect those who lead others to have a reasonable perception of themselves. And by that I don't mean who you are in society or that you have good grades and graduated at the top of your class or have worked here and there. No, I am talking about your core, what makes you a person. Superficial judgements made by society and neighbours are one thing. Why some people are more sensitive to these influences than others is due to a number of factors, the most important probably being where you grew up and how you were raised. The answer to who you are can only be found within yourself, and it is a search that requires a considerable degree of self-confidence. A compass. Because you don’t want to get lost and become sick along the way.
How do you go about it? Where will you begin? Where can you begin?
I have read a lot of books, written speeches and poems, composed music and worked in various countries. I have been on retreats and lived in silence, studied religions and philosophers, taken outrageously expensive courses together with big shots from around the world who were all searching for the same thing – themselves. I’m still searching. And I will continue searching. Not that I ever expect to stop and say, “I’ve made it. I know everything there is to know about myself.” It’s not going to happen. I keep going because I’ve realized that the journey itself is part of my life. Thinking, questioning, believing and being conscious of what I do. That, to me, is living.
