New Leadership is a modern concept of leadership for an increasingly complex and changing world. Unknown challenges, uncertainties and high dynamics require new principles, skills, structures and tools. Knowledge and experience from the past are only of limited help. The New Leadership Framework provides new ways of thinking and anchors new leadership principles and leadership skills that enable you to remain effective as a leader despite complexity and uncertainty.
Traditionally, organizations have been about stability, order, control and scaling. But the corporate environment is changing faster than ever before. Driven by ecological crises, global conflicts, trends, new technologies, digitalization, data and artificial intelligence, managers and organizations are reaching the limits of their ability to act.
In the future, managers will not only focus on business outcome, but also on human performance. This means focusing on learning and development, experimentation, imagining futures, diverse cultures and trusting working environments for employees – and the resulting feedback on the performance of companies.
In a study, however, only 16% of employees still state that they have trust in their employer (Deloitte, Global Human Capital Trends 2024). Leadership responsibility is therefore changing from number-driven management to a people-centric and agile organization with a high level of psychological security.
If the mindset, leadership skills, tools and leadership approaches of the past are no longer sufficient, then the leadership role must expand. New Leadership training provides the principles, skills and methods for a complex, dynamic and uncertain working environment. New Leadership promotes personal responsibility and self-organization, high performance teams and a New Work culture. New Leadership integrates economic, social and ecological responsibility and develops a new leadership effect.
Many programs and training courses for leadership development remain superficial. They only deliver new methods, but no deep transformation. We don’t just run a seminar or a training course, we embed a holistic New Leadership approach. We work with you on attitude, thinking and action patterns (mindset), new skills and abilities – and provide the necessary methods.
In other words: We have invested time to save you time. We have researched the essence of New Leadership (together with Karlshochschule International University) and offer you a compact, intensive and interactive learning journey and develop your potential as a New Leader.

Our New Leadership Training is designed as a cycle. All content is assigned to the domains “Leading Yourself”, “Leading Others”, “Leading Business” and “Leading Beyond” and divided into different modules.
We introduce various tools and methods that are applied in different contexts in several modules. This not only expands your leadership tools, but also deepens them.
Each format includes the introduction of theories, methods and guidance, trying them out, reflecting on them and then transferring them to everyday management. Each of your questions will be answered by coaches – in the seminar or in the workplace.
Here you will find an overview of the contents:
In this brief session, leaders are getting connected and familiar with the purpose, format, goals, logistics of the learning journey and collectively define the ground-rules for their collaboration.
In this fundamental module, you will recognize the limitations of traditional leadership approaches and develop a deep understanding of the requirements of modern leadership in a VUCA world (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity). You will learn how leadership models have developed historically and why new leadership skills are indispensable in times of digital transformation and artificial intelligence. The module enables you to distinguish between different leadership contexts and adapt your leadership role to the situation in order to remain capable of acting in complex and uncertain environments.

Would you like to run this as an in-house training course? Would you like to work on specific case studies or challenges in your company?
We tailor our formats to your needs or the needs of your managers and teams. To start with, we offer you a free co-creation (90 min). Let’s start with an initial meeting
This Learning Journey consists of three integrated elements: Classroom training, challenges in self-organized learning groups and on-demand learning. In 7 modules, our experienced trainers provide helpful insights and skills relating to New Leadership, which are further developed in self-organized learning groups.
The active application of the content in everyday working life is crucial in order to not only deepen new knowledge, but also to achieve visible success for your organization. To make this possible, we provide participants with a wide range of exercises and tools that ensure an exceptional and successful learning experience and outcome.
In addition, we can tailor this learning journey to your organization and enable managers to act like in-house consultants and develop concrete approaches for a New Leadership Culture.
New Leadership differs from traditional leadership approaches in terms of context. Every successful innovation was scaled at some point. The requirements quickly changed towards quality, cost efficiency, control – and the skills required for this. Traditional leadership models and management systems have a wealth of experience in this domain (“exploit”). However, many companies now find themselves in the innovator’s dilemma: the way of thinking and acting that generated innovation must now give way to stability and order.
Innovation and change, however, take place in the chaotic or complex domain (“Explore”). The requirements here are completely different: experimentation, rapid learning, risk minimization and rapid implementation through iteration, cross-functional and interdisciplinary collaboration, high communication requirements. The skills required for this are completely different and are no longer traditionally present. New leadership is a further development – not a replacement – of the previous leadership model.
(The terms Explore and Exploit go back to Alexander Osterwalder and his work on “Business Model Innovation”)
Managers play a fundamental role in the implementation of New Leadership in companies. By looking at organizations as social systems, managers have the opportunity to change interactions (collaboration, communication, idea generation, decision-making processes, etc.). Change in the direction of New Leadership does not happen by announcing it on PowerPoint – but in the daily thinking and actions of managers.
New Leadership Training can help managers in a changing world of work by not only providing theoretical impulses, but by going deeper: through experimentation, experience and reflection, basic convictions are made visible and changeable. We not only teach skills and competencies, but also principles. These are points of reference for daily decisions and bring sustainable change not only to the individual manager, but to the culture.
In our New Leadership Training, we teach 8 meta-competencies: self-reflection; understanding social systems; dealing with complexity; dialogical leadership & collaboration; creativity, co-creation and innovation; business model design; data literacy and ecological and sustainable development. These meta-competencies integrate a variety of other competencies and skills.
New Leadership Training offers companies and their managers two important advantages: practicability and anchoring. Almost every company – from regional SMEs to large corporations – has understood that it needs to change. But many change measures in companies are not coordinated – or even contradict each other. With our integral approach, we turn all participating managers into co-creators of change. They become aware of the complexity of transformations, but at the same time receive new thinking models, methods and tools.
With the New Leadership Training, transformation is no longer “ordered” to employees or “pushed” by a small team of organizational developers, but initiated and accompanied by all managers with a common understanding and from the heart of the organization.
We deliver the New Leadership Seminar in a wide variety of formats: in conventional classes, but enriched with e-learning, curated content for self-study, as a live online or hybrid event. There is no one right form, it depends on your framework conditions, the content requirements and the openness of the participants. Online-only seminars are practically impossible for this major topic.
The full New Leadership Training lasts 12 days and takes place over a period of 6-12 months. It integrates a series of face-to-face training sessions and online sessions, while participants work on case studies in parallel and are supported by triangility coaches.
This makes the New Leadership Training a modern training course for managers and provides the foundation for a future-oriented management culture.
At best, every employee in a leadership role. Our New Leadership principles are new to everyone, so we do not impose any restrictions on our part. The mix of first line managers, middle and senior executives in particular often creates an interesting dynamic and a fruitful exchange.
Each training or program is developed to meet the specific requirements of your company. This begins with a co-creation, concept phase, iterative improvements and a roll-out. We don’t do anything “off the shelf”, but immerse ourselves deeply in your culture and structure. In this way, our work becomes part of your organizational development.
Admittedly, this is a challenge. How do you combine universal New Leadership principles and new leadership skills with very specific, strategic topics such as digitalization, AI or sustainability?
And how do you adapt this to your company? We master this through our community of trainers from different disciplines, who are integrated into the development process from the outset and “speak the same language”. This means we cover a diverse range of topics, but work together with the same spirit.
All of the trainers in our community have their own leadership experience, have all completed in-depth external coaching and/or trainer education and have also taken part in our internal train-the-trainer programs.
Do you have questions about New Leadership Training? We look forward to talking to you! We will be happy to answer your questions about your goals, topics, requirements and conditions for your transformation – and of course about dates and costs. Please write to Verena using the contact form.
