Topics

Change process

  • How do we overcome the generational problem: e.g. young, well-trained, motivated and risk-taking employees versus long-standing, experienced, safety-conscious employees?
  • Gaining information: old + new employees complement each other successfully
  • Getting to know each other better in a new organization / structure
  • Flexibility is the basis for willingness to change
  • Bringing synergies together and making better use of them


Motivation

  • Taking on (new / more) responsibility / personal responsibility
  • Willingness to take risks
  • Mental renewal
  • Developing / strengthening self-confidence
  • How do I motivate myself to break new ground (error culture)?
  • How do I get new impulses / new ideas (where do they come from?)?
  • How do I reflect on my leadership behavior (who do I need more: my superior boss or my employees?)?
     

Team building/development

  • Only together can we master the challenges of the future
  • Not: Everyone does their own thing, but: As a team, we are unbeatable
  • Boldly forming new teams
  • Active participation, shared experience and the development of results inspire
  • Promoting a sense of unity
  • Sharing experiences as a basis for mutual trust and personal appreciation
  • A joint team creates identification
  • Experience trust / reliability anew


Critical issues:

  • Tension between egoism and altruism (selflessness)?
  • How do I survive as a manager (are there any recipes, e.g. best with or without a team?)? 
  • Do I need empathy in times of development (if so, when and with whom?)?
     

Avoid at all costs

  • Talking about crises and how to overcome them (they don't exist!)
     

Personnel development

  • Do not retreat to familiar positions, but look beyond your own network
  • Professional development through work in new areas
