Beyond Leadership

The more challenging the times, the more crucial strong and effective leadership becomes. Beyond Leadership's consistently people-oriented approach fosters trust, respect and appreciation within an organization — and has already proven its effectiveness in hundreds of real-world applications. Most traditional leadership concepts focus primarily on the relationship between superiors and employees. However, in modern, flexible, and hybrid organizations, leadership goes beyond that. Success and agility can only be achieved when all team members are both willing and able to cooperate. Current leadership research supports this shift, emphasizing key concepts such as psychological safety and multidimensional followership. Alongside the theoretical foundations, this book provides a clear, step-by-step guide to applying this leadership approach in practice. With numerous examples, it offers hands-on strategies that make it a true workbook in every sense. «Beyond Leadership» is intended for executives at all levels and in all sectors, specialists in organisational and personnel development and those responsible for shaping leadership work in associations and other part-time public service organizations Content: Introduction: Cooperation instead of hierarchy The model of the Beyond Leadership Activation Circle: Structure and functionalitiy The steps: - Check-in: Focus on the main topic - Connect: Get to know each other at the highest level - Align: Align to a common identity - Imagine: Developing sustainable solutions together - Commit: The step towards implementation quality - Debriefing: The decisive consolidation - Check-out: The summarizing reflection The sustainability of Beyond Leadership: Beyond Culture Further application possibilities
