WHAT IS NEW LEADERSHIP?

Traditionally, organisations are about structure, stability, scale and control. But the world is changing. Permanent change due to crises, mega trends, new technologies and the striving for more sustainability requires new leadership competencies. Leaders must learn to cope with not knowing, with uncertainty and complexity on the one hand and with growing social and societal responsibility on the other – and to remain effective.

The New Leadership approach integrates principles, competencies and methods to enable leaders to lead effectively despite high levels of uncertainty, complexity and dynamics, and to align their organisations with the future. New Leadership ensures autonomous and self-organised teams and actively creates a New Work culture. New Leadership integrates economic, social and ecological responsibility and becomes the new leadership paradigm.

New Leadership Whitepaper

The new leadership training

Training description

Traditionally, leadership was about maintaining order, stability, and control. Today, we need a radically different approach to leading ourselves, others, business, and beyond to navigate the speed of change, increasing digitalisation and automation, shifting value orientations in society, as well as growing challenges for humanity as a whole, including pandemics,
wars, and climate change.

New competences such as creativity, critical thinking, resilience, emotional intelligence, complex problem solving, life-long learning, flexibility, and collaboration are required to meet the demands of the 21st century. However, only 30% of executives interviewed in Deloitte’s 2019 Global Human Capital Trends Survey said they knew how to develop these new leadership skills.

Together with Karlshochschule International University, we explored how to effectively support executives in their transition towards new ways of leading themselves, others, business, and beyond. Through the examination of 9 innovative and scientifically backed-up leadership approaches, we derived the shared principles, competences, and practices that underlie them which we share within our New Leadership Masterclass.

Training modules

Connect Session

In our first session, we invite participants to get crystal clear on their personal and collective purpose and goals for the learning journey ahead. They will also choose the tools and ground rules for collaboration during the program.

Module 1: Leading Yourself

We begin our journey by bringing awareness to the unconscious internal and external influences on your leadership identity:

  • Understand how your personal values, beliefs, and experiences shape your leadership mindset and behaviours

  • Increase the congruence of who you are as a person (outside of work) and as a leader (at work / in your role)
  • Strengthen your presence and awareness to respond more consciously to complex situations, instead of reacting from autopilot mode
  • Grow your resilience, resistance, and flexibility to calmly navigate through challenging and uncertain situations

Module 2: Leading Others

After our deep dive into your inner world and investigated how you can catalyse personal change, we will focus on developing your mindset and competencies around communication, coaching, delegation, and facilitation to foster group transformation processes:

Module 3: Leading Business

Now, we will take a look at your corporate culture and current business model to identify what needs to be removed / changed / added in order to get future-fit as an organisation:

  • Discover relevant megatrends for your company and map out how they may impact your business
  • Explore how you can harness the power of collective intelligence by co-creating new products and services with various stakeholders

  • Develop a systemic perspective on organisations and learn the fundamental principles of how complex social systems operate
  • Explore which structures, processes and resources are best suited to successfully support the transformation of your company, and which tools and techniques you can use if your organisation resists any impulse to change

Module 4: Leading Beyond

Finally, we look beyond the boundaries of your own business and explore how you can use the New Leadership principles, competencies, and practices to contribute to the positive change of society and earth:

  • Deconstruct the meaning of sustainability, and what schools of thought, frameworks and models can be used to foster it within your organisation
  • Transition from a shareholder approach to stakeholder capitalism
  • Map out which values, beliefs, and assumptions may hold you and your organisation back from pursuing not only financial sustainability, but social and environmental sustainability
  • Use emerging technologies, data, analytics, and artificial intelligence to create a more sustainable future
  • Look at your organisation as a sub-system within the bigger system
    of society and the planet, and identify how you can harness this interconnection to foster innovation and positive transformation
  • Analyse what you have to do to shift from linear value creation to a circular economy approach
  • Establish environmental and social sustainability practices in your daily actions
  • Develop ‘human-only skills’ like empathy, mindfulness, creativity, and intuition within yourself and across your company to raise your competitive advantage in the age of automation and artificial intelligence
