Self-leadership competence

The airline industry is leading the way. When the cabin pressure drops, the motto is to put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others. In everyday business life, managers are also under pressure and should first get to know themselves for successful leadership. Misconceived optimism – it will work out – is more of a risk in the business world than accepting the state that problems will arise and having grown an inner conviction that you can handle them. Self-leadership is the ability to align one’s actions with personal values. You have the responsibility and clarity to be able to change something and take the necessary steps.

Answers to the increasingly complex world of work have been sought in a multitude of further training or health management programmes, but today these can only cover the needs of a confusing digital society to a limited extent. More and more, successful companies are using the approaches of ethical and mindful leadership, which focuses on appreciative communication and reintegrates the individual into teams or the entire organization. The emergence of this value culture enables sustainable and meaningful corporate success.
