Summary

Why isn't your new leader meeting your expectations?

A few weeks ago, you appointed a new department head.

What you wanted:

  • A problem solver who makes the department successful.
  • A motivator who drives your employees to top performance.
  • An empathetic leader who retains your skilled staff for the long term.
  • What you didn't expect - your leader is overwhelmed and seems helpless.

But your leader has potential! However, developing and maturing leadership skills takes time.

If you look at the future of your company with a focus on success, how much time do you have?

You know the saying: "Grass doesn't grow faster if you pull on it!"

That may be true, but with the right fertilizer and good care, growth can be optimally boosted. That's exactly what you can do for your leader. Invest in the right leadership development coaching.

I was in a leadership role for 20 years and know what matters and where the pitfalls are. It was always important to me that my leadership team developed a sustainable understanding and behavior of leadership - in the sense of a modern and employee-oriented leadership culture.

I made this intention my calling. I know that good guidance at the start of a leadership career has a lasting impact on leadership behavior. You will see it in employee and customer satisfaction. Ultimately, it drives your company's growth.

You are in the right place with me if you want for your new leader...

  • a role model with the expertise of an experienced leader
  • a sparring partner
  • a source of ideas for handling conflict situations
  • to develop sustainable leadership behavior for your company
  • ideas and solutions for optimizing everyday leadership processes

I am happy to look behind the scenes to develop the right strategy and solution for the individual challenges your leader faces.

Use my expert knowledge in organizational development, outsourcing, process optimization, and transformation for your next level.
