Absolutely! Good leaders are out there! Although not all of them were born to lead employees, just about anyone can work on their strengths and weaknesses to become a better leader! In commemoration of our 20th anniversary, we present you with a new publication filled to the brim with everything you need to know about leadership. What does it mean to be a leader? How do I evolve from manager to leader? What are the 10 Leadership Rules I should never be without? In short, this is the essence of two decades of consultancy experience - our living experience for your lively application.
Why, what for, how come? Who never asks, stays dumb! Every Sesame Street viewer knows that. And what ́s good for children can only benefit grownups. Which is why we have written down in this book our answers to the 27 most frequently asked questions put to us by leaders. Questions we have gleaned from our 20+ years of consulting activities throughout Europe. Leadership goes far beyond developing and implementing a strategy; is much more than learning models, instruments or techniques for leading your people. Truly remarkable, professional leadership encompasses a broad spectrum of subject matter - from distribution and sales to communication and education 4.0. But what do air pumps and a well-trained gluteus maximus have to do with quality leadership? And just how can you save the day? This book holds the answers to your questions!
Make those who make your business your business. People work. Heighten engagement. Promote teamwork. Give your employees a professional home. This is what real leaders do. But what, exactly, is the difference between a manager and a leader? And how can leaders become even stronger leaders? Or even a D.R.E.A.M. Leader? Read on! Fulfill the D.R.E.A.M.-Formula and find out what leading with passion means. We call this the D.R.E.A.M. of LEADERS® - it is the essence of our extensive and years-long experience in cultivating powerful leaders.
R, the second letter in the D.R.E.A.M. Formula®, stands for a leader ́s responsibility. A responsibility that applies to a myriad of areas. First and foremost, a leader has a responsibility to himself. He should have respect for his physical and psychological resources, applying them consciously. He must then ensure that his employees do the same. In times of increasing burnout afflictions, this is a vital issue and entails creating a positive environment in which employees enjoy their work. A leader carries exceptional responsibility during transitional processes. He must masterfully guide his staff to their destination. For this purpose, we developed story changing® - an outstanding, award-winning tool for understanding, accepting and actively shaping change. You can learn about this and much more in Workbook: Responsibility, with numerous worksheets for profound, enduring insight. Want more? Then redouble your knowledge with our book D.R.E.A.M. of LEADERS®. Leadership is not an Illusion, along with the four other workbooks from the series.
Your inner mindset, the values you live, breathe and communicate - these are the leadership topics addressed in Workbook: Attitude, the penultimate letter in the D.R.E.A.M. Formula®. When your employees ́ values do not coincide with yours, their enthusiasm quickly peters out. We therefore introduce an efficient tool for measuring and analyzing the value systems of an individual or group. Because only the right work environment guarantees productive, satisfied employees. As a leader, your inner attitude decides your outer success. How do you handle delegating or letting go? Are you capable of making yourself superfluous? Or do you consider yourself irreplaceable? Can you lead highly diverse teams? Your approach to tolerance, acceptance and happiness also decides how successful you are. So, what ́s the scope of your attitude? Numerous worksheets let you find out! Want more? Then deepen your knowledge with our book D.R.E.A.M. of LEADERS®. Leadership is not an illusion as well as the four other workbooks in the series.
The E in D.R.E.A.M Formula® stands for Education - that is, consistently advancing your leaders ́ and employees ́ development. Then one thing is perfectly clear: swiftly evolving technological and social conditions calls for continuous adaptation and life-long learning. But what exactly is education in our digital age? Naturally, e-learning tools and social media such as Xing, Linkedin, Twitter, etc. play a significant role, just as classic virtues like continuity and steadfastness are equally vital. Not to mention the inquisitiveness to try something completely new, like Horse-assisted Coaching, for example. Workbook: Education makes evident why advanced learning is an essential factor for retaining your professionals and how it can trigger entirely new options for your employees ́ potential. Numerous worksheets allow you to solidify your insights at the end of each chapter. Want more? Then deepen your knowledge with our book D.R.E.A.M. of LEADERS®. Leadership is not an illusion as well as the four other workbooks in the series.
Dedication, the first letter in the D.R.E.A.M. Formula®, stands for a leader ́s devotion to his position - whole-heartedly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Leaders must forge ahead with commitment and enthusiasm for the task at hand. Only then, will they find equally committed employees, willing to become authentic ambassadors for your company ́s name. In Workbook: Dedication you will learn everything on the subject - the parallel between employee engagement and marriage; the importance of differentiating between leaders and managers, as well as a leader ́s obligation to keep an unobstructed vision of the future in mind. In addition, we introduce our D.R.E.A.M.-Score® - a tool we developed to measure the leadership quality of your company ́s managers. Complete with practical exercises, Workbook: Dedication is an absolute must for leaders - and those who aspire to be! Want more? Then intensify your knowledge with our book D.R.E.A.M. of LEADERS®. Leadership is not an Illusion, along with the four other workbooks from the series.
The M in D.R.E.A.M. Formula® stands for Motivation - which is first and foremost a leader ́s willingness to perform. This is the bedrock of his position, regardless of personal sensitivities. A leader is a role model. A leader must also ensure that employees discover their own drive for their deeds. All the better when combined with cheerfulness, humor and an inviting work environment. This has nothing to do with making a spectacle of yourself. Cheerleading, juggling colorful balls and walking on hot coals is TV or theater entertainment, not leadership. As a leader, the best way to motivate your employees is to let them take part in decision-making processes, let them be party to your vision. Praise, recognition and regular, two-way communication are integral factors, as well. Want more? Then deepen your knowledge with our book D.R.E.A.M. of LEADERS®. Leadership is not an illusion as well as the four other workbooks in the series.
»Wieso, weshalb, warum? Wer nicht fragt, bleibt dumm!« Das wissen alle, die die Kindersendung »Sesamstraße« kennen. Und was für Kinder gut ist, kann auch für Erwachsene nicht falsch sein. Deshalb haben wir in diesem Buch unsere Antworten zu den 27 Fragen aufgeschrieben, die uns von Führungskräften in den vergangenen über zwanzig Jahren unserer europaweiten Beratertätigkeit am häufigsten gestellt wurden.

Aber was haben eine Luftpumpe und ein ausreichend trainierter Gluteus Maximus mit guter Führung zu tun? Und wie holt man eigentlich die Kuh vom Eis?
