In times of increasing volatility and complexity and decreasing hierarchical authority, value-based leadership becomes more and more important.
The key to successful values-based leadership is one’s own personality, which understands leadership as a role model and offers employees meaning and orientation as well as credibly exemplifies the corporate values.
Value-oriented leaders create a working atmosphere that allows the individual to develop, that is characterised by respect and in which trust, integrity and reliability are exemplified.
At the same time, they take entrepreneurial decisions that are not measured by economic success alone. Sustainability, ecological compatibility and social responsibility are values that are increasingly becoming the measure by which investors, supervisory bodies, employees and finally the whole society judge an organization.
In the end, the objective is to get from value to value creation.
In order to meet these expectations, it is essential to engage with one’s own values. My coaching sessions open up a space away from the hustle and bustle of the day to reflect on fundamental questions such as
What values do I stand for?
What values should my company, my department stand for?
How can I transform values I see in everyday work and communicate them in a generally understandable way?
How do I deal with behaviour that does not conform to these values?
Where do I find orientation for myself?
What demands do I personally face that are not in line with my values? To what extent can this be shaped?
Where must I and want to set limits or draw consequences?
