attitude and approach. So what is the systemic edit you with this constructivism. And also we're discussing
what quality should have a leader nowadays and what soft skills should
you bring along? And this is also a bridge to the next chapter because
we're making a little bit of a self-assessment and insert
an external field so that we know our standing inside the
company or insert and team. In the next chapter, we're going to discuss about the human resource approach because one of our main
tasks is that we also, in the short and long-term, know where are we needing

in your daily routine. Are you ready for the next level of your
leadership skills? Then I'm looking forward to
welcome you in this class.
2. What makes a good leader?: Let us start in this topic
by discussing a few leaders. Nevertheless, if you
like the person or not, just take it a little bit
more objective way and think, why are these persons recognized as leaders
or as good leaders? And we're starting here
with a few names, e.g. Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, and
Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Mother
Teresa Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington,
and so on and so on. And all of these names are the people behind it
have some competencies. And what I would like to
focus now is think about who is a great leader
in your opinion should be on this list. It could somewhere from your environment, from
your surrounding. And ask yourself, what
makes someone a leader? And also, is a dictator,
also a leader? And I invite you, think, a few moments about
it and then we can discuss it here later on. So who's a great leader
in your opinion, there have to be some
core competencies. And one core competence
could be e.g. that they communicate clearly, have a clear vision of something they
would like to achieve. And also it could be that they are passionate about the work. Think of Steve Jobs. It was also and leader and leader because
Steve Jobs has and, and totally creative
mind and also was very, very focused on how this
should be implemented. Sink of the airport, of the iPod, etc. These products were absolutely
designed very well. And therefore, this wasn't
passionate about the work. They don't care
about being popular. Also, like Steve Jobs, because it doesn't matter
if someone likes it because the product
itself speaks for them. They keep their minds
open and with mind open needs meat that you always searching for opportunities you are not making again and
again the same thing. So you a little bit
more an explorer. And the mindset is that leaders work for the
employees and that otherwise, and manager and
micro manager says, I'm delegating your work, you have to do it and
then report to me. But as a leader, try to give them support
so that they can fulfill their work as you might
think it should be done. They are positive
and encouraging. These are e.g. also in the political
environment. But all of these
persons has some, some vision and try to
empower also other people so that they can fulfill
their own visions. They built relationships, also regarding
their environment, but also networking outside the company to give them value. And they lead by example.
What I mean with that? That mean when I'm saying when the project comes
to and milestone, then we have to put in
the work and go for it. And then when you're leaving
the company by 03:00 P.M. because you are not responsible for
the operative tasks, then this is not by
leading by example. That means that you are the
last person which go home. Because this is what
leading by example means. And also the respect of
others is necessary. Here all these people were respected because
they give respect. And this is what a leader
also brings with them. Respect, giving,
respect, taking. And this could be what
makes someone a leader. Certain aspects which
were discussed here, and he's a dictator also, leader is trust and rhetorical question what you
can think through yourself. Because when you look e.g. in North Korea, also the people, yeah, I would say not
really liking them, but they look to them. But why is it, What is this? Why is this reason behind it? Is it because they
are scared of them? Or is it because
they're admiring? So we have to distinguish
what is in real leader and what is only who wants
to be likened leader, but it's more manager like
microorganism leadership. Just some quick overview
and think about what is a leader and how could
you bring leadership.
3. Where can you find leaders everywhere?: Let us talk about where
we can find liters. And this simple question gives you also a simple answer
because everywhere where people comes
together and have a common goal or have a common target which
they tried to fulfill. E.g. and obviously one in the
business and in the market, but also in religious groups. In sports team, of
course you have here and Captain who gives
you the team leads. And could be asked by problems. Or this person says, what is now to do, not only in the training, but also brings
the team together. And of course, the
personal drains, the whole sports team is
responsible for the team. But a team captain always
keeps everything together inside the team because this
person is also one of them. And therefore, it's kind of a leader in the
political environment. It's also like an leadership because beyond the whole
Charismatic topic, the person has to bring
some competencies with them to pursue. If the people around
them to do something or also to convince people
that they are the best. This is also kind of concepts which could be regards
to leadership concept, of course needs in
social and hobby parts. So when you're in your
leisure time, e.g. you are in some sports club
it's at in your free time. There are also some leaders because they bring
them together. They tried to find
some schedule where everyone has time and they are looking for some venues
where you can do this. You hope it's at. Also in band in this
school classes, we're also making
a differentiation about groups and teams because there are slightly different when it
comes to goals. But also they have, these groups are needed
someone who will sustain all of their doing
in community, in churches. Also, military six
is a good example because a lot of the leadership concepts
comes from the military. And think about when they
are in the field and someone is knocked
out or get shot, e.g. then the next in
the hierarchy will be our new manager leader, e.g. in the field. And this is also often
in our companies, the person who has
longest waited for the top position and
maybe gets the next step, the next CEO position. But it's it off the
right person or is it some just a person who waits and then he gets the job
because he waited until August, the longest time period. Schools, gangs. And of course, here
in the market. The market has r is
always true with them. And therefore, only the
best leaders can survive.
4. What do we mean by leadership?: What do we mean by leadership? But the term leadership, Let's try us to define year these words so that we're all have the common
sense about it. And we could declare or
define the leadership, e.g. by how is it done? Is it done in a properly way? Is it done in a way? The staff, the department
works really well. And how could we also measure if someone or somewhere
companies working well? Of course, in their outputs, the revenue is increasing, is all of the environment
of the people are satisfied with their
work history and good feedback cultures
then open culture. These are things what can be measured when it
comes to leadership. And also how to be successful as a leader isn't different kind of aspect and shouldn't be too related to the
profits of a company. But I'm good
leadership means e.g. when there's a
crisis like COVID, like the energy crisis. Now, when everyone
tries to fall out, a leadership keeps
everything together, a good leadership
and tries to bring out the best of the
department of the company. And this could be measured because when there's not
too much fluctuation, that means when someone is
quitting their job because it gets too hot in
to the topic e.g. are they leaving because
they are not satisfied with the kind of leadership style
this could be measured. And also, why does it fail? And it's not an bad thing
when something fails, it's just the way
how we deal with it. That means how do we
reflect the things? And the last scenario,
why does it fail? Why does my leadership style was not so comprehensive
as I thought? And why is it? Why does the team
didn't do the things I would like to do with
this self-reflection. You get an outcome and see, aha, this is an kind of situation I have to
change or our f to adapt. And this is also a
good leadership. Overcome obstacles in
the way and be more open-minded and be
self-reflective and communicating
and transplant way. And this could be an kind of definition what leading means.
5. History and evolution of leadership: In this video, we take a
closer look into the past so that we can understand the
evolution of leadership. And we're starting
by the year 1940 and whether behavioral
theories started with that. I mean, that we started by
delegating the tasks in a way that people should do it in a way how the main goal is. Then 1960s, the contingency
theory started. But I would like to
skip this one because the transactional and
transformational leaderships were milestone in this whole
leadership environment. Because the transactional
leadership tries to gives you an end goal
which you should succeed, and then you will
be getting a bonus. This is one extrinsic view, but the transformational
leadership is more that gives
you a simulation, gives you motivation
influences you so that you overcome the obstacle and the way to achieve this. And it's more a maturity level, but you can still fulfill
small self-fulfilling way. And it's a way how you develop
also some other managers. Because this is
the highest point what you can reach
that you can do this stuff for you want
inside the company regarding the main goals. Then we have
collaborative leadership. That means you are here for you stuff you try to
lead to where it wants and the other person's tried to give you feedback
on their work behavior. So it's more than
situational style. And in the $22,000
in the millennium. Then the complexity
theory started with that. I mean, the big data. All of the metrics with
deep learning use this kind of metrics and tools to
gathering new information. And with this information, we try to find other and proper solutions also regarding our whole
leadership work. So this whole
data-driven Burke is, sustains our work but
shouldn't drive our work. Yeah, and of course, in the next few years
we will have here other nice new
leadership concepts and more vertical ones, more online one, focused
leadership styles. And this will be new challenges, which leads also to
new opportunities.
6. Theorie X and Y: In this video, I would like
to talk with you about the Theory X and Y
from Douglas McGregor. It's based on 1960s
approach from MacGregor. And this here developed some contrasting
theories about how managers could see their
working environment and how people are affected
by their working habits. And it's really good and understandable
approach because you will find those two theories again and again in
nowadays companies. So what's behind the
motivation of people? This is the main core, the main part which
deals with the theory. And the theory X is more
than pessimistic way. That means that
managers believes that their stuff that the employees
are not willing to work. They are disliking their work. They are trying to
avoid responsibility because this is much
effort, it's cost, energy. And that's the only
needs to constant work. They don't like to go
the extra mile and they have to be controlled because otherwise they don't do
the job in a proper way. And also they need to be
supervised on each step. So a lot of micro
managing is you're done. And they have to have
no really incentivize this to work because they
getting the end of the month, the whole money and
that's enough for them, so they don't need
any bonuses, etc. And this is, of course
on pessimistic view. But you will find it
in nowadays companies, although it's really
old-fashioned and is not used anymore. Because this is not how you
should treat the people in your company because
it shouldn't be a little bit
more a trust basis, but it depends on
the maturity level, level of the person. And we will deal with the
maturity levels later on. But of course, you need some kind of Aspects
of the Theory X. Also in nowadays companies, as I told you before, in some critical infrastructure, there is no need for creativity. There is just to handle
down a checklist, e.g. in an emergency case. Then some people think about
through the whole process. And then when emergency hits, we have to do exactly
what we should do. And the Theory X, it's completely the opposite, is more on the way how we
can do the work together. But this also means that the dimensions have a
more optimistic way, how they lead the people. Because the people
are more happy to work on your own initiatives. And they see the work not
only as that they have to do, but maybe also the like it. E.g. in four days a
week environment, they have four working
days, three days off. So they really like to be here, wants to contribute
to the topic, to the service, to the product. And therefore, there's an, a whole new energy in the room. There are self-motivated and to want to complete their
tasks in their own way. There is more involvement
that needs also more leadership work because there's a lot of different
things going on. And also they are
seeking to be a little bit more responsible
also for some tasks, but also for maybe
the whole service or the whole department. And this view of work is really more challenging
but more fulfilling. And therefore it's a more
intrinsic rate and approach. And this solves problem
nowadays in and more effective and easier way because
they are all common sense. They have a common
belief that the, maybe the company really do something goods to the
world and therefore the manpower behind it is much
more than in the Theory X. And these are two contrary
different kinds of approaches. But it gives you an
understanding how fundamental to stories are two
leadership styles could be implemented
in a company.
7. Transactional & Transformational Leadership: And in the context of
leadership styles, I would like also to
introduce you into transactional and
transformational leadership. And both of them
have, of course, the same goal to be productive in the company,
in the environment. But both of them have
different kinds of approaches which are focusing a little bit more in detail. The first one is the
transactional leadership. And as we discussed before, It's more an extrinsic weight. That means managers
agree and goals. And when the goal is achieved,
there isn't a reward. Maybe some beneficial
things like monetary incentivizes
or the next step on the career ladder. On the other hand, we have here the transformational
leadership. And it's more, and
our conversion of work performance into a higher goal, more
intrinsic value. And this is not what you
can stay out that this is nowadays appreciated and desired transformational
leadership style. But it depends always on the circumstances and the end of the industry of the business. But in a general way, of course, you would focus a
little bit more on the intrinsic and the
transformation leadership. Because otherwise, you just have some greedy persons
inside your company, which just be ecocentric
and once their own best outcome of the
whole goal setting. But there are many
more different aspects which I would like
to go through. E.g. the leader source of power is very different
and that you can understand how your will be recognized as a leader with
these different styles. And we could say here is more than rank and
the position in the company important, then e.g. here is mod character
and also the compliance. How you stick to your
whole being is more recognized when it
comes to follow our reaction inside the company. Then here is more of the compliance and
heated commitment. So on topic, here is more, do a, B, and C on my
checklist or is it here? Do I go the extra mile? It's at them. Also when it
comes to the timeframes, It's interesting to observe. The transactional leadership
is more in the short-term. That means Focusing
on my next column and next management periods
on my next contract just to achieve my goal and
for my department scoring the transformational
leadership focusing on a much longer
time period, e.g. to be the best output
in three to five years. Nevertheless, if the outputs
will be appreciated by Nowadays fulfilling the goals. Also on the rewards are
completely different here our model rewards the
payment or the promotion. And then the other hand, we have some pride and safest thing. So how could you really
develop inside the company? Supervision when it
comes to controlling and observing is here
more mandatory? And here it's more in the
way of development and tear. It's more and evaluating how you do some things
according to metrics. And under otherwise,
you would think, how could we develop it on to the next level
so that we can be the best as last year, e.g. it's also when we say that
different kinds of industry, of course, need some
transactional leadership. But as I introduced to
you before, nowadays, the thyroid leadership
style is more transformational
because people like to develop and also wants to make a
contribution to the topic. And this is easier with the transformational
leadership style.
8. Leadership Styles: Let us focus once again
and different kinds of leadership styles so that you have a good overview of what
kind of leadership style you would like to accomplish and also to implement
in your daily work. And of course,
there are many lots of different kinds of facets. But these are rough overview of three different
leadership styles. The first one could be
the ATO authority ten. That means you have a little bit more
operational objectives. You setting action steps,
distribute the work, and be motor controller, and also embrace and blame if something goes wrong or is good. And of course, you need some of these aspects
in your daily work. But there are also some other
kinds like the Democratic. There were group goals. Procedure is determined
in the group. Leaders give more
advices and not controlling them ended the
objective standards is there is implemented
for criticism in the group assignments
help them to not BO, very egocentric and
try only to fulfill your own tasks and
leaving the group behind. Those next step, which
also is included in many different
companies when it comes to a more senior level and is the laissez-faire style. It's more freedom of choice. It's leading person to
provide the work equipment, supplies, information,
and request. There is no interventions and there is no
fixed assignments. This is when the maturity level of the person is very high, then you're trusting
we have to do this or that until then and
then go for it. And in a democratically
where you have a team and very engaged team. But there you have to
be a little bit more in the management sector
because a few of them maybe need some
controlling aspect. But the overall statement
is that the whole team is one unit and they can perform
really well as a team. And as you can see, there are really some
constraints and also they are more in each
direction, more. There is more important
things from each of the three sectors which you can implement by yourself
in your own company.
9. The dimensionally oriented concept: In this video, I would
like to introduce you to the dimensional orientated
concept from tau and tau. Therefore, we have a grid with four quadrants and we
have here four units. The first unit will be the
maximum steering and control. We have here. And the bottom side,
minimal steering, emotional coldness,
and emotional warmth. And according to this grid, we have four different
leadership styles. With the first one, this
is the co-operative, the Arthurian, the lessee
fear and a protector. And a few of them we
have already discussed. But the good thing on
this concept is that you can use this grid also fun
self-assessment. It means e.g. and you discussing all of
these different kinds, then introduce it to your
counterpart in the surfaces, we can begin, e.g. when a person says, I am, I think I'm here, but I would like to develop
more in this region. Then you have an toolbar
you can develop and F and self-assessment for and
self-reflection process. But before we start with that, Let's go through the different
kinds of dimensions. So the first style
is co-operative. It's the emotional coldness
and minimus steering. And let me give you an overview about
these two dimensions. And what I mean with emotionally coordinates
is that there is a few on nearly
nothing of appreciation. So there's a lot of
anxiety and this is not giving the people another secure feeling
about the working place. They don't know how to
relationship to the lead on to the manager because
they're emotionally cold. This is very, very distant. And de minimis
steering and control isn't good thing for People who has an higher maturity
level because they can use their own creativity, they can use their own
working hours as the like. Nevertheless, it's necessary
that the work is done. The Arthurian we have discussed it already
is maximum steering. This is, there's a lot of
tensions between the team and also with the
against the leader. There is some alliances which voting against the
leader or the manager. And there's a lot of energy put into whole of this tension for the relationship because
no one is satisfied with all of the
working conditions and their emotional coldness. The top of third, because
the z that really don't like to work with them, they just try to give
them orders like an only a management
micromanagement. And therefore, this is not what someone really
wants to do them. The other hand, we're fear. The next one, this is the
laissez-faire steel mini-mills during emotional warms. And this gives them
much appreciation. That means that when people
go to, comes to you, then you are listening to them, give them stupidity, give
them feedback about. And this is what people are
like in the oddest companies. They got, appreciate
it and also get the feedback that work
is done on a proper way. The minimum steering is
as well, a good company. When it comes to creative jobs, like in a marketing,
lacking the IT like in a business
development sector, etc. Then we have default. One, this is to protect on maximum steering, but
emotionally warm. They tried to
protect everything, not only the product, also the people that they're
not burn out, etc. It's also, something
might be not desirable. But for self estimation,
it could be good. When a person says, I think
the surface has many SEO, but you from an external
perspective would say, I would rather put
you in this quadrant. So maybe we develop a strategy that you getting
more in this quadrant. What can we do? The dimensional oriented
concept from touch and touch.
10. Situational Leadership Model: One of the famous
leadership models comes from her seat
and bloodshot. It's the situational
leadership model. As you can see, we have here
four different quadrants. And we starting from the right, going to directing, to coaching the supporting
and to delegating. This is also an kind of maturity level from
our counterparts, from our followers, as Jose
and brochure also defines it. So this is the leadership, different kind of
leadership styles. But each style has also on counterpart for our employees,
for our department. And this is called followers. And to follow us, our gender, S1 on the right
quadrant at the bottom, server is unable and not
really willing to work. And therefore, we have to set up and directed leadership model. We start reacting amine that
we have been focused on providing directions
to the employees. That could be clearly
simple instructions. That means clear
explanation and also, and kick Leah for
supervision when something goes from very, very Arthurian. But it's necessary because
the people in this sector, according to this model, are not likely to work on
them on their own behalf. The next quadrant,
the right top, it's coaching the S2. This is more interesting
because he will have someone who's unable
but willing to work, maybe some junior manager. So people who try to give their best but they haven't got
the proper skills yet. And therefore, we tried to
set up your coaching style. That means, what do you need for the work to
fulfill the work? That means you can give
them the proper support, them, give them
the necessary way so that they can
develop by their own. And it's really the next
step on the maturity level. And then we come
to the second one. So you will have even more maturity levels
from our followers. It's high supportive,
low directive behaviour. In this kind of sector, we have someone who is able
to work but really don't want their work to do
because they had that need. A lot of times are
they are nearly yes. Wants to jump up to the next career ladder and therefore we have
to support them. And supporting can mean
that we are seeing there is some tensions ongoing or there
is a lack of motivation. And therefore, we're before the problem comes into our area, we want to motivate gifting
feedback and also encouraged him to go to the next step
or to take risks, e.g. so I'm really, really a leader. Work is done. You ended the last step. We have the delegating one. And this is not the
typical delegation. That means just giving
someone tasks because we have people who are able and
willing to do work. But nevertheless,
we have to give them tasks so that they can
fulfill it their own way, like an a C, all ever like it. And department managers,
senior manager, just say, we have now to
do this project, please. Can you fulfill here e.g. the whole calculation
they will finance topic, the whole IT part,
whatever, just do it. And this is, involves minimal direction and also minimal supporting or coaching. But when the people
want some feedback, of course we give them. And this is a good approach
because nowadays you have so much different employees
at one project, e.g. different kinds of generations. And therefore we have to
adapt to the situation. And this could give
us some good tool. And how we can easily and be flexible in the
world of leadership.
11. Management by concepts: I'm sure nearly every
one of you have already heard about the
management by concepts. And my intention is not to introduce you to do
a different kind of these concepts because
when you Google it, you will find over 200
of these concepts. My idea is you introduce it to the whole topic of the
management by concepts. And therefore, one example is the
management by objectives. And that means that the overall organization
has in common goal. Of course, the CEO and all of the senior managers
agreed to some goals. These goal will also provided and break down
to the department. Then the senior managers
will break down it's to the teams and to the
single individual. So everyone in the company
should now have a goal on, they can work on the
next half or full year. And with this, this is the main idea that's
the common though overall goal will be
succeeded very fastly because everyone has a motivation
to fulfill their goals, because they get done
some bonuses, etc. And with these kind
of objectives, you also have in the management
and leadership theory. You have and tool because now you can
continuous monitoring the progress and the
performance evaluation will then take place
after quarter, half a year annually, and then you give him feedback. So that's the person or
the department can even be more or better over the time. And at the end of the year, you're giving once
again our feedback. And then there's a
performance appraisal. And this will lead to the next year's goal
and so on and so on. This is a kind of concept very nearly everyone has
experienced by their own. So it's a good way to extra
extrinsic motivator people. There are many other
different kind of management by concepts, by dedication, by exception, and buy decision rules. But the main concept
is that someone gets an extrinsic motivation to fulfill their work,
to do something. And management by
concepts are really handy when it comes to an
overall view of the company.
12. Generations: We're now coming to the
end of this chapter. Before we close into chapter, I would like to talk a little
bit more about generations. This is an oboist rest, Bert, I would say, because nearly everyone wants to discuss something about
generations nowadays. But my intention is to give you an overview so that you really can understand what are
the different kinds of demands of this generation. And it's not so
important that you know, which year it goes one
generation to the other. It's more that we know there
are different station. And I would like to start
with the baby boomers. They were born around
roundabout 1960. And it's more likely that they use to hierarchical
yeah, concepts. And also that they are used
to do one task at a time. That means e.g. if they are in the accounting
department and they making the end
calculations for the year. This is the one project
with goes until the month and they are unused to do with some other projects
besides this, because this is my
main topic and this is what I want to do
now until demand. And also, they are not used to getting feedback on
a regular basis. And the knowledge transfer
is only acceptable from real experts like an
academic environment from schools or from
an institution. And they are not used to make some online courses and getting their learned by
themselves, etc. So, and of course this is more superficial few of
the generations. But it's also that they are very skeptical
about innovations because they also tends to
be a little bit in the future regarding
to the retirements. And also when we
are talking about a different station
degeneration x roundabout, 1965 to 1980. They are more independent. They are multitasking able
when it's really necessary. They used to feed back on a
regular basis and they are already known that they
have to study a little bit. And the Generation Y, and I think I'm
also included here, likes to network and also the multitasking
is from routine. And it's more that we're used to getting feedback
on a regular basis. And we are also used to
lifelong learning and we'll know we have more than
two years to work, and therefore, we
have to acquire the knowledge to give you
a sustainable work output. And the generations sets is, comes to the millennials. And we have more Douglas digitalization
is and swear words. Because since the beginning
of degeneration said there are social media as their smartphones, tablets, etc. So multitasking
since the beginning, look at the second
insert screens. And also a lot of freedom. No fixed structures. They don't like
fixed hierarchies. They like four working days, like remote working
virtual teams. And also the
generation Alpha from 2005 till now over seven, nevertheless, are even more like the freedom and they are also now getting into
our organizations. I've skipped this one because it's like
degeneration set in my eyes. But you see there are
different understanding how work is done and also different approaches
in the team book. And now a scenario which
is on a daily basis. And project team has
some Baby Boomers, some generations set e.g. January subset makes the whole social media marketing things. These are the experts
for the products. And the generation set
likes to work very fast quickly approaches because in our fast-paced
world is in need that we are quickly
doing things and the baby boomer
just wants to make the calculation slow process because it should
be sustainable. And as a leader, as a manager, we have to adapt here and put in a lot of
leadership work. That means team
workshops so that we have fun understanding
how we work together and also in necessary
few of the different kinds of demands when it comes to I'm communication into
the feedback hits it. You see, it's really
an important topic which should include the
whole leadership work.
13. System Theory: We are starting this chapter by defining what is
the systems theory. We can talk only about the
definition hours and hours. And when you Google it, you will find different
kinds of aspects, different kind of definition. And I would like to go along
with the following one. In all network systems, limited interventions
have unlimited effects. Every intervention has an impact on the individual entity system. And this is a good overview and goods image which also
describes the system theory. We have different kinds of gears and they are all
connected to each other. That means when I have
my whole individual, I'm asking a question, I'm making some
behavioral change. An intervention. That means something in the behavior infrastructure
will be slightly changed. And this slightly change
will moves one out of one of the gears and all other years also will be moved
to other gears. Could be the private life, the business life,
some leisure time. You name it. But what I would like to
emphasize here is that one change could affect
several other changes. And what we now try to do is with this systemic approach that understands that people are mainly in interaction with
the social environment. And the result is very
resulted and solution-focused. And any intervention could lead to a possible solution and could effectively
change our counterpart. This is embarrassed,
simple explanation, but gives you a rough overview what the system theory means. The systems theory could be that all of the things which are connected
to a human being, to any single individual could affect also the individual. Therefore, we also can make
a lot of changes there. We understand on my
understanding of the system theories that
we are supporting here. The process, We're
not done consultancy, we just give some feedback
and some advices. We are more that we've tried to understand
the whole system and ask proper question that leads the thinking process in the
right way of our individual. This is in makers what
a system theories.
14. Systemic Attitude: So what is now the
systemic attitudes? I would like to start by the differentiation to
consulting and advising. We're not delivering fast and quick solutions to problems, which comes to us because this is too easy and
this is in most cases, not unsustainable way
to solve problems, e.g. if a junior manager comes to us, The Ginny manager has a problem
with the communication, always delegating
they're working tasks to the team and we're awesome. The next manager, next leader. We're asked what
he or she can do. And therefore, we of
course could just say, Yeah, you have to be stricter. You have to follow
in these debt. But it's this really what's
the person now needs? Or is it more and
conversation and find out what he or
she has to adapt. And this brings me to
one of the first points of the systemic attitude and
the attributes which are, we'll go through now. And one is the attitude
of not knowing the means. I am know that this
is some problem, but I can't give you my solution
because the solution for me is for me the best and
maybe not suitable for you. And therefore, I'm
asking question. The second attribute
will be curiosity. I want to find out more
about the problem. And I really have fun, honestly interest
in this problem. And then I asking one was to describe me the
last team session. What was it when you are really interested in
solving this issue? Then our counterpart and
the team manager will get, get the feeling
that we're really interested and we'd be
a little bit more open. You're just asking
questions so that I want to go away
with this task. Then of course, our
counterpart could be opened. We also give them a little bit
of appreciation that he or she comes with the problem to us so that we can also solve that. And we are not solving it. We're supporting
the process that the team manager has the ability to solve
it by themselves. And this is what the
systemic attitude is. We are supporting and
process and we're not an consultant or an advisor. This is really strictly
forbidden When we say so in the systemic
attitude because we are more enabler and tried to positively motivated
to act people. And therefore, we also
respect the autonomy. That means the autonomy
that people have the ability to come
to a solution by themselves and not by getting
and quick answer from us. So as you can see, it's a
little bit different approach. Most of the people who are
getting the first time in touch with the systemic
editors think this is like hocus-pocus
and something new, but it's a more sustainable way that we can implement in
our daily leadership work.
15. Constructivism: So what is leadership and the leadership work
on daily basis in our work environment meant deaf. I have two quotes so that we can also approach the concept
of the constructivism. And one could be that the leadership emerges
the interaction of people with the goal to
effect positive outcome. Now you could say,
okay, nice quotes, but another approach could be possessing and
diverse skills, knowledge, and
experiences, along with a willingness to openly and collaboratively
engage with others to solve problems and
create positive change. And we should also visualize
and also for us in our work, internalize some approach
which fits perfectly to us so that we also have self-understanding
of our leadership work. And this could be one approach. But now let's focus on
the constructivism. And this is one major pillar and one major aspect when it comes
to the systemic attitude. And I think this is
really important. And I have collected
your sweep points. The first point is
from constructivism, there is no reality
without an observer. And think about it, that we
go on to the next point. There is no objective
environment independent of us. And also there is
impossibility to control perception in
perception as interpretation. And with these three points, should give you a rough overview what the constructivism is. An example. If I'm a junior manager
comes to you with a problem and it could be that the person has now
an ongoing education. Part-time was the job. So the person works e.g. 30 to 35 h. And in the evenings
on the weekends, there are a lot of education
in class is going on. And the person deals also with some childcare issues because the child got COVID
and so on and so on. There are lots of troubles
going on, a lot of issues. The person comes down to
you and you say, come on. This is only the whole workshop. The whole classes are
only three months. Go for it. Look forward. I've made two masters
also besides the job. So this could be easily done. You could say that, and this will relatively
the whole problem. But there is no objective
environment independent of us. Means when the person had their individual
has some problem. The problem is now really a
major topic for the person. Even it seems for us so
tiny and not relevant. But for the person, it's really an
obstacle in their way. And often they are not able to articulate what
they want from us. They have a problem and
they don't want it. And they are scared of
the consequences, e.g. but they are nearly burned out when they're
going for it on. And therefore, the
constructivism helps us and attitude and mindset so
that we can understand, okay, there is a
real problem here. There could be something
what I can do and be positive and also
the impossibility to control perception
and interpretation. So we could, of course say command and see
that as a challenge. And then afterwards
he needs to v, You can stay doubt that
you are really stressed. You can kind of stress it's at, but when it's real
honest approach, then we have to understand
it in the right way and be open for the
construct tourism. This should help us
and the daily work in the leadership,
systemic leadership work.
16. Systemic Approach: So now we have
already a deal to as the systemic edit you
wish to system theory. But what could be now
the systemic approach. And therefore, I have a few
points that we're going to discuss so that we have from proper understanding what
the systemic approach means, because this will be implemented
in our leadership style. So I would like to start
with the following, and it's the person centered. And what I mean
with that is that not a problem is in focus
and that's the environment, not a political
situation, the person. So we are just focusing on the whole system
besides the person. And also in connected
with this is that we aren't having
solution-based approach. When it comes to problems. We tend to be also very
analytical and this is necessary because often we are just
skipping two and solution, but we don't understand where the problem is the root
cause of the problem. And therefore, we have
to analyze the problem. But in the systemic
attitude and approach, we are just focusing on
the solution view because we tried to get the
best out of the person. But in our systemic
leadership approach with just making
root cause analysis. And then we are using
solution-based approach. It's also a kind of
support process. We're not just delivering
some advices or some help, some some help in
case of solution. And we're not consulting. Consulting could be if
there isn't change of an IT process and T program, we need someone who
is an expert in the field to help us to
implement the software. What will help us to gain the knowledge of
the whole process? We are conveying methods and developing and
proper solution, but we're not consulting on
a specific topic to this. Of course, we could also
share some methods so that we are working together in a development
process that could be, and we also will
do that later on. But consulting, just making
some some theory, e.g. this is not what's the cases
were developing objectives. And it's more than external
consultancy exercise. And also only in a
professional context, we are not dealing with
some private issues, e.g. if there's a divorce ongoing, this is could affect of course, the system and of course it affects also our
business environment. But we are not coaching here
in this specific point. And of course, as
we told before, its resource orientated, really, really focused on the resources, what the person brings
with you with it so that we can work here together
on a proper solution. And this could be summarized
essence systemic approach.
17. Systemic Leadership as consultancy services: Systemic leadership S
and consultancy service. And now you may be
wondering is why I'm taking the consultancy service into
the systemic leadership. When we've heard
before that this is absolutely not systemic. And the reason is that we have an understanding of
our own leadership work. And therefore I
brought three points. What I would say is defining also in whole management
and leadership approach. And therefore, we have
unrolled inside the company. That means I'm CEO and COO. I'm team leader, senior manager, product on a unit, and f of responsibility,
Ivan, job description. There is exactly what
I have to do them. And I'm I'm authorized
to issue directives. This is what my role is. I have certain abilities, insert and company that I have to fulfill nursing
responsibilities. But now also with
in second part, this is the function and
have different kind of function in the company
which are more implicit, which are not in my
job description, e.g. I'm more developing
solutions for structures. I'm on mediator. I tried to encourage people
to take more risks, e.g. or I tried to buildings
up some network. I tried to initiate processes, be a little bit more
green in the direction of green energy resources
or resource orientated. It's therefore, we have
a lot of function, insert and Company, which are not really obviously for others. But maybe this isn't a reason
why some people tried to gain to your environment because you are implicit F dysfunction. And of course, our personality, our individual behavior,
our experience. And all these leads
to hear this point to our leadership of values
x, understanding. And of course, we're
using these experience, these as a consultancy because
we made this experience. We have this function
and of course we are delivering it to
our counterparts. But in a strongly
systemic attitudes, we are trying to be more neutral and be more in
the systemic attitudes. But in a general approach, of course, we are. Let's influence our daily leadership life
with our experience.
18. Team vs. groups vs. organization: When we have to take the lead
and also B and leader Dan, it's necessary
that we understand our organization and
that we understand that there are differences between teams and groups and
also the organization. And therefore, we
should recognize the differences and also be aware that it's mixing change. If we have a team or
in group and a team, it could be someone who
has some common goal. E.g. in a project team, we have some specialists
for finance, marketing, IT and the product itself, and some project leader
who also is involved, technical, technically
do the topic, then each of them
have his own goals. But to save the main
goal of the project, because if someone is in the
team missed his goal, e.g. the financial part,
the technical part, the whole project is in jeopardy
and maybe won't succeed. And therefore, each
individual goal is critical to the main goal. This is a completely other drv and as we did in
the chapter before, was the Theory X and Theory Y. This gives us an, also
an intrinsic value. And this is necessary that we understand in our
team and leading work how we could address goals and also individual
goals into Teams. Group on the other
hand, could be when people meet together
for a specific time. But all of them have some specific goals
to individual goals, There are also the possibility for their own tasks in
it, for the whole tasks. It could be that e.g. there is an evaluation of the whole company and there
isn't a project group. But this group is defined by
a few different individuals, some specialists of
the whole company, and each of them has
to evaluate the e.g. one of them, the
financial sector, the IT sector infrastructure,
the marketing. It's it, there is
no overall goal, there's just this
individual goals, but they work in a project
because afterwards, the whole evaluation will be visualized from the CEO, e.g. if someone has here and
good outcome or not, good outcome isn't
really relevant for the overall machination
of the project. Team versus groups. Slightly
different approach. And the organization
could be that there are different kinds of teams,
departments, and groups. So it is an overall consumption and this is what it
makes a difference. Difficult also in, in our work, in environment when it
comes to our leading work. Because the organizational
behavior is one of the hardest challenges when
it comes to our daily, broke, our daily leading work, and also discussing a few things about the organization later on. Here just to focus about
the different session.
19. Qualities of a Leader: Let us talk in this video about the qualities of a leader. And I invite you
to click on pause, think about what
four major qualities you would identify to
your next manager, next leader, or
identify What kind of qualities would you bring
along when it comes to your systemic leadership? From our understanding
and our fear for points which I would identify in the first
one is the knowledge, commitment to lifelong learning. And they shouldn't
be just an word. It should be also lift. That means not just
going to times in a year or two and
weekend workshop. That means that you really
show them also what you preach and try to be always
on the newest topic. Discussed the news topic, learn wisdom year's topic, and also share your knowledge
from these new knowledges. It doesn't mean
that you're always be up to date and
try to invent it. But you should be also
interested in new innovations. To courage standing up for what you believe is the
second point in my case. That means when maybe
I'll project goes not in the way you expected, then you can't regulates
the next project because this was irresponsible in an initial phase
that you started it. So you're also responsible
for the outcome. That means you have to stand up also for the project team. And you analyse why was this not proper
outcoming and then setting maybe some regulations. But courage also when
it means to take risks. Risking when someone
brings a new idea to you. And you could probably say, if you think this
isn't good idea, use five or ten per cent
of the project time to develop some innovation. Just let me know if
you need something. And at the end, I
would like to see here first prototype, e.g. this is taking a risk with, yeah, I would say, some predictable outcome or predictable risk and
therefore go for it. The third point will be open-mindedness is
just a buzzword, but it's also with
the knowledge. Consider alternatives. When it comes to problems
and crisis like COVID, energy crisis and the
next will follow on. Then. We have to adapt and be flexible very quickly to one
situation and SEO, soil and the COVID crisis. Then, from the next day, the remote work
was implemented by nearly every company
because they were glad that someone is
working from home. And before it wasn't
only imaginable. And to be open-minded, this doesn't mean
that you have to jump on every iteration print, but I'm not also implementing
each new innovation, but maybe in a small sector, give it a try for some new organization
development processes. Keep an eye on all these things and to
try it out, reflected. And this means be open, be flexible when it comes to
new ideas and new solutions. Then I'm switching to
the other side here. Default point will
be the experience, shared time and experience, not only when
something goes well, also share you failures. And I think this is one of the major part when it comes
to lead leadership work, that we have to be
more transparent in the waste doesn't go well. E.g. if we implemented
an equality project, shall project flex
chromatid or for an incompletely not
IT related project. And it won't go well. Then we communicate
this and say, We've tried it out with
invested a lot of money, but it wasn't so flexible
as we thought we has many, many different communication
problems and therefore, it wasn't try, but Boston
sufficient for us, maybe the next time. This is something like an failure culture
because when you are rarely transplants and maybe also the employees will follow. Another kind would be awesome. If something goes not
the way that is odd, then you maybe could also
share your experience. Why was it so you
thought this would be a good way to do it
regarding decent as facts. But in the next month there are circumstances
changes completely. So therefore, we have to
adapt to the situation and we are also have the
courage to quit somewhere, not too fast, but when we see
there is no real outcome, then we have to create it. And therefore, qualities of a leader could be
much, much more. But here, just a quick overview.
20. Area of competence: In this video, I would
like to give you an overview of the
area of competencies which systemically leadership
bring along, or S, and we're for self-reflection
so that you can make an self-assessment of
your own competencies and where maybe you should
acquire a little bit more. One approach is that we are starting with the
main competencies. And this would be the technical
tactical topics, e.g. if you are very good in IT or in the Business Administration in law topics are in languages. Nowadays, the
interdisciplinary knowledge, that means your haven't study
in business administration, but as well as something in
the human resource, e.g. these two knowledges
comes together and strengthens your
leadership skills one more. So in my case, e.g.
iPhone, electrician and education and also some
business informatics degrees. And as well later on, I made and second degree in the human resource department
or human resource area. And therefore, I bring along to competencies with the
technical factor of focus. And this is what nowadays in bigger companies nearly is a
quiet because you need also, besides the faculty club, also some leadership knowledge. What do you bring along? And therefore competencies is one of the first
entries I would say. And also some individual
skills, as I would say, is how resilient you are, how creative you are
responsible for some things. If you are independent and
these individuals curious, you could also measure
along a timeline. You can observe how you see your team doing house and future IR junior manager
doing an easy way to the Chilean management position here from development plan. And therefore you can see, is it really resilient or she, when it comes to deadlines, etc. You see really proactive? Or is it maybe a little bit too passive when it
comes to problems, etc. In this leads also to some
social competencies, e.g. he or she capable of
leadership when some, e.g. the miniature gods spontaneously ill and he or she
has to jump in, make the presentation
without any preparation. Is he capable of
doing such work? Is he or she and team player that you can observe
also very well and give them also some feedback from
development process. Is the customer or
customer orientated? It's this person
really beneficial, or it's beneficial
outcome to the company. Then we see this side, the methodic and how metals, which methodic do you
use for the rhetoric, for quality awareness,
troubleshooting, etc. And often these methods and
competencies where ultimately some qualifications
connected and you could acquire external, but you can also do some
training on the job. And as you can see, we have different kinds of
competence levels, what you should bring along, but what you can
also acquire during the life of career path.
21. Soft Skills: Let us focus in this video
about the soft skills. So it's an rough overview on which software you
should bring along from self-assessment or when you are trying to develop
some future managers. And one of the soft
goods could be how sensitivity are the person regarding to the work
environment, e.g. prepare for the opposite side. Empathetic and openness. And this is, you could easily
observe on a daily basis, how is the contact
between clients, between other team members, between other managers, etc. And also on the point of
cooperation involves others when it comes to problems or involves when
acquiring expertise, benefits from the experience
of others creates. Connectedness means
more networking. And these are soft skills which are really handy
when it comes to persons and people who have a lot of
responsibility in the team. Then as the next part
we have passivation. One of those soft skills, which should have
nearly every leader on because wins others for yourself and procedures, lines
of argumentation. This is necessary when you
are in the discussion, when you're arguing
when you sell your idea to grow it for etc. And parcellation should
be also not too much, not Oberyn faced, but a little
bit of them is necessary. Then as a last point,
we have determination, active instead of reactive so that you can see a harder
will be on problems soon. I'm not just blaming
someone ora, I take the initiative to go into this problem
and solve it, hopefully extends to decisions. Also. It's kind of competence
when you see, okay, we tried it one month, it has no success. Then we have to change the
course and we quit it. Now. This is also on
competence and stands for decision because you try something for a
length of period, you resist the first resistance, and then you go further on. So it reflects mistakes and looks to the future as
we discussed before. This gives you a
good overview on which soft skills you
may are looking for in a team or you should have when it comes to systemic leadership.
22. Interior and exterior view: Additionally to the
previous video, I would like to add the interior and exterior
view. In this video. It's more like conceptual
reflections so that we analyse what
drives to person. And with this tiny tour, you can see are in addition to the normal knowledge and skills, the person must do the job well. And therefore, we have
an extra and interior. And the exterior is, of
course, the management skills, what you obviously can see
what the person is doing good. And also like the expert ties, the actual knowledge which
the person brings along. And on the opposite
is the interior view. That means what is the
intrinsic motivators, what drives the person and
how resilient they are. And this gives you a good overview on why
other people working. What are they really wants
to achieve in their job? And what is it? Why
did do something? E.g. if a person
really wants to be a manager and wants to have
a little team with them. What is the intrinsic motivation only to be a boss
and to delegate? Or is it to achieve more recent team so that
you have more resources, more manpower behind it, so that they can
fulfill more work, e.g. this is what you
could be analyzing when it comes to
development process. Or you could use
this schematic for reflecting yourself and
see what are the interior, the intrinsic
motivation behind it.
23. Systemic questions: Let us start in a new category. And this is the
systemic question. And I would like to start in this category with two quotes. The first one is fun, Schmidt, and he says, if you want afterwards, completely different answers
than you're used to. You shouldn't ask
him the usual way. And there's a lot of two
things in it because we are always thinking in
patterns and in routines. We like routines as a
human being and therefore, we should be aware of that
so that we can change initially and also
intentionally our hallway, how we asking questions because we want different
solution as usual. Because often when someone
brings a problem to us, they tried something out
and it doesn't work. So why should it work? When we give them
them just a solution, we have to change
our perspective. The second is fun. Sonia ratites. Ratites. Our goal is not to find
cause of problems, but to achieve goals and
solutions in the future. And this is completely contrary to the typical
analytical approach where it goes the main focus to the to the root cause
of the problem. Shifting the focus only
to the solution base. And this is what
systemic attitude means when we are
asking question. We tried to, of course
analyze the problem, but then we tried to find
only to look into future, what can happen next? What can you resources
help to solve the problem? So let's focus on what systemic
question brings to us. And it brings generate
newer information, triggers own idea on
convey implicit message. And this is what we want. We want to gathering more information,
filter information, and also trigger new
ideas in the way of we're supporting the
thinking processes. And by triggering new ideas, we can ask questions in a way, not usual way so that
the person thinks or how can this is really a good point? Maybe I should consider it, e.g. when the problem is the
communication style is that's the junior manager has
problem is to communication, to delegate some tasks. Then we could ask,
what are the teammates saying about your
communication style? Or are the teammates
and willing to adapt a new IT system for
some communications deal. Maybe we should skip Trello
or the e-mail and should change to another
communication tool, etc. And conveying implicit
message could be that we will do this later on
with some circular question. That means we are imaginary. Invite other people into our
meeting and then asking, what do you see your wife or your man saying
about the problem? What is your best friend
thinking when you are just using more budget
as intentionally? Use thought about. So it gives a new idea, breakthrough some patterns to hopefully gathering
new information. And this is what the systemic
question of roaches.
24. Values: In this video, I would like to discuss and talk with
you about values. The inner values from an human being can
never be changed and must not be changed because
these are the inside beliefs. What makes a human being, e.g. some religious political views, and also some how you
prepare your food, how you are being too
in and meeting e.g. how is your discussion value? Are you interrupting someone or are you really introverted? These are values which are
often not really lift, insert and business contexts, but could affect the
business contexts. E.g. when it comes
to religious habits, when it comes to
some regulations, what brings these topics to
our working environment? Of course, there are some values which could be measured, e.g. some personal and social, political, economically,
philosophical topics. But the point is that we have and should be
open for some diversity. And of course we
be aware of all of multicultural culture and be aware of the diversity approach. What does it really mean in our daily leading work that we implemented
and that we can give them the much
appreciation and also that everyone has his place inside and team or
insert tech company. And these are the
things what we are responsible when it comes
to earn good culture. And multi cruelty culture
doesn't mean that we just hire someone from
the Asian region, from America and from Europe. It doesn't mean that we
should implement here and the fairness that everyone has his space and brings
value the company. And as you can see, that the values are such a
fundamental thing that is more or less bottom person makes and therefore
shouldn't be changed. Muslim change. And we
should be bringing here a lot of awareness to
the company and to the team. This is what we are
responsible for.
25. Leaders, Leading und Leadership: We're coming now to the end of this chapter and I
would like to take the chance to summarize all of the learnings from this chapter, we talked a few things about leaders leading and
also about leadership. And one of the
common things which repeatedly I am faced here
was to positive change. We should motivate
the people to, during our work that
they can do more, more and better, but also an unlimited space so that
they're not burned out. We are responsible for
willingness to contribute. Contribution could be also bring awareness to
such topics but also be ahead of problems and be very active
and not reactive. But also the
collaboration is very, very important point
when it comes to systemic leadership to
involve the whole system. To be aware that all of
the system parts could be critical to our project, to our developments,
to our company. We also discussed about
through social interaction. That means leadership
is not just making some emails
and some video calls. We have to add truly
interested in the human being, which is the counterpart of us. And only then it's authentic and also
accepted from the team. We have talked about how we could act in our
fast-paced world and also in a very critical
situation in some crisis. And what brings really in
good leader to accompany. And as a last point,
values influences not only the character, It's more like our fundamental
in our whole society. And therefore, we should also bring here a lot of awareness. The systemic edit you'd helps
us to four unto him to be a good manager or leader and brings tools to us which could
be used on a daily basis. And in the next chapter, we take a closer look
on how we could develop human resources and also bring our own competencies
to the next level.
26. Distinction Coaching and HR-Development: We start in this
chapter by making a proper distinction about
the terms of coaching and HR, or development,
management development. Well, of course, in
a daily business, these two terms will
be nearly the same or it's on a daily basis that your coaching and
make him development, but here to make them proper distinction and
also that you get a good overview that these
aren't two disciplines. I would like to define
it a little bit more. The executive coaching or leadership coaching
management coaching is a way where a specific problem or surface of systemic approach. Usually if someone comes to
us and here's a question, How could you do that or
can you solve it for me? E.g. there is an
junior managers, senior manager which
has an auto manager from the whole
company, a problem. And then you're analyzing
what is really the problem? Is it just communication is, is just that they can't
get along with each other. And this is what an
executive coaching does. Or if there's some problem e.g. that the manager has the
ability to get the milestones. I'm in the time schedule and then you can reflect
wise that zone. So you try to solve a specific problem with
the systemic approach. The management development
as a mortar HR component is some process of diagnostic
development of skills. That means e.g. if you
have someone would like to get from a junior manager
to a management position, then you are agree
on a quarterly, half a year and
annually meeting. There is an evaluation
of the process. There are feedback,
cause and after the year Jamaican next feedback. And also there is some
bracelet interviews. Then when they meet
all of the goals, then it could be the next step. And this is what we need. We need some more, some
guidelines where the person can interact framework
work and also see what they have to acquire next
to the next milestones so that they can get the next jump on the career ladder, e.g. these are two
approaches which should be done by systemic leader.
27. Management Task in change: Let's make the next distinction. And it gives you a
good overview where the management task are
based and where it might go. The first thing is
that we have fun content of Donald in 1955. This is one of the
first management tasks. I would say, stated that out and Malik reinvented
it and adapted it, it management task before
doing some blending. So organising, it's also leadership and
personal development, but more command and control. Nowadays diminishment
tasks are more that are taking the
responsibility, delegate, organized, making a lot of
personal development. So there's also in the next
project, in the next year, the proper employees have the best position
so that they can perform out of the best. Of course, leading
is always also that you control and observe, supervise the whole tasks. And a lot of a lot of thinking. What and when to decide
when to go back. This is nowadays one of the key features when it
comes to management and leadership task that you can decide on analytical approach. And not only because now you
have the ability to decide, it has always to make an obviously and
objective decision. Line. Management tasks is also nowadays adopted to our virtual
and online environment. So you can see the main part are always organising,
controlling personal development. And this is one of the key
features which you are looking for future managerial and also to develop your own skills.
28. 10 Management Roles: Let's talk about the ten different management
roles in your daily life. And Mintzberg is an business
administrator professor. And he conducted a store
study which identifies ten different roles which you may be changed during a day. And it should give you an overview on what our
management tasks and what maybe some person should
acquire a little bit more or has enough
knowledge about it. And these management roles are divided through three sections. In the first section is
the interpersonal section. And we started with
to figure it out. That's a person who stands
in front of the company. Often it's you combine or you connect to a company
with an in-person. This is always when
someone is very cosmetic, has a lot of decision power. This is the figurehead and
also lichen supervisor because you have to supervise not
only the company and also your employees, also the whole company. And as a third point
is the network. And of course you have to
network inside the company, uh, but also to the clients,
to the stakeholder. And these are common sense,
the interpersonal section, we have then the next three
and these are divided or get the overview of management roles in the
case of inflammation. And the fault management role
is like an radar screen. That means you
have to be open to see what information
is necessary for you, for your department, for
the company it's at. When you've got it,
then you will send this information to the teams, to their people, individuals. That means reducing complexity,
filter information, get it and bring it to
the people who wants, wants them and who needs them. And the last point
is the speaker. And of course, when there
are certain things, we have to speak out loud, have to be a little
bit of role model. Therefore, this is motor
information sector. The last four points are more in the way of
making decisions. And it's an innovator because when it
comes to innovation, you have to decide, rather
you go that way or not. The eight point will
be the problem solver. Whenever it comes to
decisions, to conflicts, etc. There are some problems and these problems
should be solved. And del, four unit and decision. Would you like it more
in the systemic way, in an IT management way, how would you like to solve it? This is an approach where
you have to decide and afterwards you have to
go along this slides. Resources allocate is
one of the major points. You need to know what
team needs, money. Like time, like more stuff. It's at ten, this is your responsibility
that you are enable it. And this last point with negotiator and this is
on a daily basis. Yeah. Didn't negotiate about, um,
time schedules, milestones, about money, about the
next employee sits. It is also like a decision. In these ten management
roles should summarize. You hold yet tasks during a day or during your whole management
and leadership life.
29. Selection of personnel: Now we talk about how is this election process of
selection of personnel and do recruiting
staff and employees is an challenge and it will
be also in the future. Nevertheless, it's an
removed chop or not. And especially when it comes to leadership or
management function, you want to have the best person
internally or externally. These are decisions
which have to be made in front of the
selection process. And therefore, I would like to focus on a few points,
welfare and timeline. And the first thing
are the first step is that we set up criteria is
functional description, requirement profile, chop the scriptures,
skills, and knowledge. These are objectives. What do you need to set
up so that you know, okay, this person
will do it e.g. if you meet someone for
the IT department, e.g. for the whole IT support, then you're setting up
that the person maybe has some knowledge in the ETL
management quality management should worked five years
in D supports 12 or three, and so on and so on. These are facts which you could state out in
the job description. As an exponent. You could ask you
the question is, should we find in
internally or externally organic from the company or
experts from the market? These are not on
January question because often you have not read the ability to get
someone inside the company. Because maybe this
isn't process, you have to develop also. But on the other hand, maybe you need
someone from external because its gifts, fresh blood, as we would say,
new ideas and also is good way to bring your
company to the next step. Because new ideas, new
approaches could be beneficial, but also internally
could be beneficial. This is something you have to decide according
to the situation. Then you make them
pre-selection requirements is extra state-like the target
state from a personal view, also possible from service
providers as well. And this pre-selection process where you also have
to decide what you'd like to follow here some
diversity criterias, e.g. you can set up a neutral
system where you can't see any photos, names, or Hs, just
the hard facts. And this filtering mechanism
gives you an objective way. What brings the personal loan? And then when you're
selecting e.g. ten persons, then you could go to the
next step and can see it. Maybe a photo or maybe you go to a phone call where you're also their voice
could be neutralized, so in a neutral way. And then you can ask
the first question, but you don't know where
it's from the person, how old is he or she, and how she looked like. This gives you a really
good neutral way, how you can select a person. In this third step, e.g. you could make an tasks. And then within video format, you can see the person
the first time and the last three performed
now the tasks. And then you'd have from
proper selection process just in a quick overview. The last one is done
the final selection, suitable diagnostic
procedures leads to the desired selection
and hopefully also is unsustainable outcome. And often you acquired them
on a limited time period. And after this time period, you could exceed here
the whole contracts. And this should give you an
overview on how you could select someone from the
market or inside the company.
30. Suitability diagnostic procedures: Some of you already
were involved in personnel selection
process and I'm sure that a few of you
already heard the sentence. I just have a better feeling choosing the person a
instead of person B. It's my stomach
feeling, my intuition. This is absolutely a chiefdom. It you choose according
to your inner values, according to your experience. But this feeling shouldn't be in the main reason why
you choose someone. Because this is
often the pitfall. And we have some biases which
we are obviously are not obviously intentionally and
unintentionally affected. Our decision-making factors. We should be aware so that
we can go against it. And therefore,
suitable diagnostic procedures could help us, could help us in a
way that we have a more objective view on
the host election process. And afterwards when it comes to the final decision, of course, our experience and our view of the whole topic could
lead to a decision, but not as main decision. Therefore, I would
like to introduce you some standard settings
which you already know. But for the overall image, I would like to show you the paragraph oriented procedure and a structured
selection interview. Here we go through
the cover letter, CV, testimonials,
portfolios, etc. Maybe you call one of the last cobra or co-workers or the last manager and
ask, is this Rousseau? Is this person work? Does the person in the
field of the mechanics, does it really did a great job according
to his references, etc. In this structured
selection interview, you're focusing a
little bit more on the social skills and about all of the behavioral
characteristics. What are the goals? What would you like to develop? What I used to drink
since it said, These are all okay
and you can use them in the first two rounds, e.g. but what I would
like to focus here, it's a little bit more on the second suitable
diagnostic procedures. And there are the
characteristics into simulation
orientated approach. E.g. you could give them in the second or third
round some theory. And then you test the
person with work samples. You're getting back
this work samples. And then you can
work with that in a feedback feedback
meeting, e.g. you can also test the
person in front of the next third or second round. So like an intelligence
test or that you can see, has this person and
basic knowledge. Often CAD system,
often AT system has knowledge about
financial topics. It's eta. And this gives you a feedback
about the intelligence, both performance and personality.
This is what you want. You want to also compare different persons with each other and want to choose
the best out of it. Does mean that the highest
intelligence rate is the suitable person for
your working place. It's more how the overall images and therefore
some tests will be good. Also, some practical
bookcases from your company and you give them
and try to talk with them. So lichen simulation orientation
and short five-minutes, beak width and clients
Within problem e.g. how would the
person approach it? Behavior under stress? You can perfectly tested e.g. give the person 20 tasks, which are usually
done over two days. And the person have to make an whole
scheduled from a dam. And then take a closer look. How is the person
prioritizing these points and also what lens in the
garbage. And two, why is that? So this is a behavior
under stress. You get a lot of information
how to prioritize. Our problem is analyze
the whole day. I said structured where it's at. And then you can talk about
how was it, why choose you? I'm certain things, et cetera. And also various tasks from your working environment
and give them to them, to the people so
that they can talk. Real example and you get a good overview of how
people are performing. And this is what we want. We want a neutral
objective way so that we can decide later on who
is the perfect candidate. And therefore, suitable
diagnostic procedures would be one approach
which is easy to implement and are not led by some biases when it
comes to decision processes.
31. Assessment-Center: It depends on the
size of the company, but you can also undertake an assessment center
and smaller company. Then Assessment Center
is an event where you invite a few candidates
at the same time. These candidates compete with
each other and one task, which were they given, e.g. then you see a lot of you got a lot of information
out of this process. This video, I would like to
give you an overview and how you can set up or what are the contents of an
assessment center. And an assessment center could be little bit more
of self-marketing. You can see when it comes to selection process
for manager, they have to compete
on a daily basis. They have to be used, that they got under stress, that they observed, and
that they get rated. And therefore, the
self-marketing is one thing every manager and
every leader should have. Therefore, next point could
be that direct comparison of the applicants and all of the candidates will see how
the others are performing. And this is even more stressful. And of course you could say, this is not really an
real-life example. All are under stress. It's an and fictive and
not really scenario, but this is exactly
what we want here. We want to take the next
wrestler that we really know. How is this person doing? Because you can simulate
a lot of things. But in stress scenario, you get behind the
person's borders, I would say because often when it comes to a
selection process, we train certain things. We have prepared certain things. And this is okay, but we wants to go further. We want to see how
the person is really. Therefore, it's good when
we're making a simulation. E.g. with some clients,
telephone simulation, some feedback, communication, some short presentation about a topic from the company, etc. Then you can see how
prepared are they, e.g. let's make, let's make them, give them a task so that
they should analyze the whole market in the region and should give you a few key
performance indicators. Time, 10 min, proper
presentation. Let's go. Because then you can see how
they're really prepared for the job or just went
and tried it out. Because in 10 min you can't
acquire all the information. You have to bring
something with you. And next step will be I'm
distressed situation analyst. You have all the
candidates in one room. You are focusing
not just on one, but you see how the
person are working during the whole day or
during the first few hours. And then you read it, you're writing at the beginning. It was really encouraged. It was really engaging
to the topic, etc. And this whole assessment
center is the way that we get away from
some humorist settings. And this is what really, really is the intention
of all of the things. Here. Let's switch it to the left. We have the
requirements criteria. We can check it up and often
it comes to unwind that. We have feedback calls. And then you can also check if the person have the same
understanding of the job. Then it was described in
an assessment center is also a way how you can save a little bit money
because in one day, you can include all
of these candidates. And it's often used
in bigger companies, but could be done. And this is also my experience
in smaller companies, just with four or five people. It's perfectly to make an assessment center in
and small surrounding.
32. Example Requirement criteria: Let's focus on example
of recruitment criteria. So when you are in a
selection browsers, it's good that you
set up in front of the candidate selection, you criterias, and what exactly would you
like to be measured? And I invite you just
to click on pause, think about two main
criteria is what you would like to get to know a
little bit more in detail. End, um, c to each
criteria of viewpoints, what is the expected behavior
or the observed behavior? So I've chosen here too. So what is the criteria? And one is to observe behavior
that would like to see how are the communication
skills from dead person. Therefore, I could maybe stated out that the person
isn't good for toric can active listening has some
good objective handling involves everyone and
self-confident in their appearance. And then with all of these different kinds
of assessments, I could check this
up adequate say, no, this wasn't really in the
scope of this example. Maybe I have to deal with
it a little bit later on. And after the day or after
the selection process, I have an objective way. What I can see this person
brings along or not. This is just an easy
tool how you could be a more neutral way to
select from process. One of the next point criterias
could be super entity. And this is necessary when someone has to
represent the company. Therefore, I could have the observed behavior remains
objectives in stress, situation, explains
explanations and also can accept criticism, Tends to XOR gate or not. These are things which could be observed in the assessments
and the very real face, e.g. when you are under stress, are really nice to other people? Or are they really stressful
and harsh to other people? Or they're explaining why
they do something, etc. And this gives you
an overall image. And those criterias
could be used also to compare other candidates
with each other.
33. Hearing Procedure: Hearings are also
very common way for selection process,
internal or external. With hearing. I mean that a person, an individual and
candidate comes to setting where the human resource to
see all the senior manager, etc, are in the room and asking the candidate
a few questions, some simulations are going on. So each of these, if a company employees have
certain questions and then they give an overview or a
decision about a candidate. In human procedure could
be the following settings. There are some preparation, so disturb distribution of the rows and elaboration
of the questions. Because the human
resource maybe has an order aim then
the senior manager. And this means that
also the questions should be a little bit aligned
and should be discussed. Who wants to be the main
questionnaire, etc.. And then afterwards,
it's unwelcome face so that the presentation of the millennium members
are introduced. So that's the
candidate knows who could be addressed
to which question. Then an introduction from
the candidates dance he or himself with some
self-presentation. And also there could be some
questions coming in line for the whole CB and
experiences, etc. After that, and deepening
question round will be started. That means and situation
or short role-play or some scenarios with real-time data from the
environment from them department will be applied
to some roles and therefore, the candidate have to
fulfill your certain tasks. And then it's getting
some feedback. This feedback, he goes for
it on and photo on with e.g. questions from applicants meet
initially of inflammation. This is more what is
really interested? How good is the person
prepared according to all of the scenarios and all of the
environment of the company. So that's really good
questions comes along. The next point could be
feedback, what's next? And of course, what is
the decision process? And of course also that's the hearing community needs a little bit time
for the decision. And then afterwards,
maybe there will be an decision and it will be
improper selection process. And as you can see,
easygoing, easier procedure, but you have to prepare
so that everyone is has his own role
and know what to do.
34. Hearing Sample questions: And I would like to give
you a short overview of bought some hearing
sample question, what I use in regular
basis when it comes to in-person and selection
process, in urine process. And the first one,
the context is more on the professional expert ties. And therefore, you could ask, what development
do you expect in your department in two years? And it's a good
question because then you see how long-term, how's the long-term thinking of the candidate is here already. That you already know where
he wants to be in two years. And also the person
that candidate know what are the environment of
the future work in place. Next question could be, which technical components of your professional field do
you currently not cover? Steps, reflection? Is there anything what the
person would like to acquire and does the person really know what is going
on in this certain fields? And Next question regarding to the professional
contexts could be on which topic do you want to further educate yourself
in this year and why? The next category
could be the vision. And when you are dealing
with managers and leaders, you have to our own mission and vision statement
for the department, but also it should be aligned
with the company vision. And a question could be, how do you get division x
back into the black numbers? Or it could be, what
should you employees say about you after
the first three month? As you can see, a
simple question with a lot information in it. And what you get there is how good prepared is the person and how really educated the person themselves for this
specific position. And then one last criteria I've brought to you is to
leadership competence. Therefore, we could ask
which leadership style do you prefer and exemplify? This gives you an inside
view if the person or really try to be
the best leader. And also that he or she
educated themselves big regarding some
leadership styles and have some experience. How do you assess your area of, of conflicts between
thrust and control? And this is a typical question when it comes to
delegating stuff. And also with your whole
employees, how do you do it? You're more the person
who give trust in front. You're like controlling. And of course, this
is in conflict area. And this is a tricky question because you could answer it, not really in
upfront because you don't know what people are
working there, et cetera. But you get a good overview how the person is thinking
and how he approaches. What is a no-go
for user manager. If we ask the board of directors vehemently opposed
the decision by you, how do you react? How is the person going
with the criticism? Is the person stands
for their own position. But this is also a tricky
question because when everyone says this is not
the way how we should go, then you couldn't be
consists of the way because then maybe an artist have a
good reason why this is so. But what you can do is you
can ask the question why this is so that you can understand
the reasons behind it. And that's the last
question. How do you maintain work
motivation in the team? Even infants stressful time, or even in COVID, energy crisis. You name it. As you can see, a few questions. What gives you a lot of
insight view of the candidate?
35. Assignment and occasions for coaching: When it comes to an everyday
routine as a leader, you have certain
occasions for coachings. In this video, I
would like to show you the different settings, what can occur in your
daily leadership work. Therefore, I have here in grid and I invite you
to think with me. So we have different scenarios. We have here an improvement
Griffin crisis. And these could be
collective or individual. So think about a few occasions. What can be in an individual improvement
or individual crisis, etc. I would like to start with the top left improvement
individually. So think about when a
manager comes to you and says, the management style, maybe it's not working
or it's not the best for this team because we have a new team and they are
all mixed together from different kind of branches
and sectors, industries. And I'm not really know how to approach it the best management
styles, leadership style. Therefore, you could go in and coaching more unlike developing process and crisis on the overhead could be
that the person says, maybe some truly a manager, he's frustrated with the tasks. Has or she got every time the same tasks not
fulfilling anymore. It's too operative. The person wants to be
more in a strategic way. And therefore, this is more coaching on an individual basis, but it's a crisis. And crisis are problems and you, We are more on problem-solver. We sustain the process
of systemic coaching. And this is an important
thing because all of these aspects could lead to collective
improvement of crisis. And collective
improvement could be that the team says it's too time-consuming or
decision process. We have not the right
communication tool, e.g. trellis like Notion it's, it is to complicate, it is not for our
purpose, the right thing. Therefore, we would like to introduce to mete
most or what else. And this is an topic, what maybe needs
and team workshop so that all of them
knows what to do. And T workshop means not to have two weeks fully
committed to this topic. It could be 2 h well and
participation process and defining how are the communication set
up in the next year. And in collective
crisis, of course, we all know what is
COVID-19, energy crisis? What else? And this is topic which affects everyone
and should not be. Take it for granted
that, that is wrong. And we all have to do Are
we all have sharpened. We take this for granted. Now. We have to focus on transparent and also be
over-communicating here. What's the problem,
what we are doing? And we should really
do spend a lot of energy in these
occasions because this is where real problems occurs. And therefore a lot
of energy will flow into these problems when it comes to collectiveness problem. So as you can see,
different kinds of approaches by different
kinds of occasions. But we are faced in
our everyday routine.
36. Why Talent Management is mandatory: The time has changed and
nowadays it's really a challenge to get the proper people from the
market for the company's. And these are the
reasons are differently. And in this video, I
would like to make a definition what talent
management is and why you should implement
it in your company to hold the employees and
also acquire new one. And the first step is that we have an autism
war of talents. That means the best people. We'll get the best
jobs as it might be. But who are the
best on the market. And often we have
not even the chance to talk with them
because they're already got from the university out to the big toe or big companies. And therefore, the WAF talents is not only in the IT sector, it's in the care sector, clinic sector, it's in the
technical in each sector, in each industry, we have an unbalanced between
demand and supply. And this is what we are
also facing in the future because the whole society
will get, I'm getting older. A lot of people go
into retirement. And the new generation has a completely other mindset
regarding the work hours. And therefore, we have also
to adapt to the situation. We have to attract employees
in different kind of way. Not only the money topic, it should be also
the working hours, the working place,
remote work, et cetera. This is like employer branding. What can we offer
for the employees? And therefore, it's also on step by the
binding employees. In the previous videos are
always talk about how we could develop persons too. Some next career step. And this is what binds
people because they have new aim that in maybe
six months in a year, they can have more
responsibility in the company, in this environment
which they know, getting more money,
getting bonuses, etc. This is what maybe could
lead to fix stuff. And also on their
competitiveness inside the company
is tremendous. But on the outside, you really have to put a
lot of energy and money. Foreign personal
acquiring process. So this whole, um, step of Human Resource
Development and they're crying new pupil will getting more
attention in the future. And therefore, we have to prepare also inside the company. Yeah, reversed balanced
of power because nowadays the candidates
into employees could say, I have so many
offers on the table. I want not only more
power, more money, I would like to have
remote working days, home office days,
and so on and so on. And this is also an completely new challenge for the companies because then they have also to adapt
to such situations. Target groups focused,
that means maybe the whole company has to
develop their own people. That means they have to
put more energy, money, and time to recruit
people and then educate them so that they
can fulfill the next shop. And this attracts also new employees and binds
the existing one. So talent management has
different kinds of facets. It's an HR tool, is also an leadership
topic because we have to identify new managers, new experts, the field, and inside the company.
37. Traps in Management Coaching: We're coming now to the
end of this chapter. And as we did it in a last
tip that I would like to summarize the whole chapter with my experience and what could be possibly traps in
management coaching and leadership
coaching in general. And therefore, the
first point could be that whenever you
getting into a coaching, the counterparts, the
candidate will say to you, please fix my problem.
I don't want it. You can make it because
you have the power, you have the authority, and you have the expert
eyes, please fix it. This is not what it should be in a systemic point of view. It's only an supporting
process where you try to help them and to
start a thinking process. In the next point could be that an elec of the simulation. And this is often when
you're involved in and process and project and when it's affected
your department, you can really say this
is not affecting me. And often it's, of course, effective decision-making
in your thinking processes. And this could be difficult
when it comes to on coaching and also
into decision-making. Next part could be the
customers for the portfolio. Nevertheless, what
the others are my department says or what
an audit manager says, I would like to do it because this is good for my
own career path. This is good for my portfolio. That's the reason
why I'm doing it. And often it's not obviously, but everyone knows it. Why certain managers do certain things because
of their own interests. Egocentric. And this is just
short-term thinking, but on the long run, they never will succeed in the company when this
thinking goes along. And also the boundaries blower
between ru and colleague, my leader, my manager, my senior supervisor, etc. This is difficult to handle. And in the coaching
you always have to be here, the supervisor, leader. And you're just supporting your counterpart with
different kinds of views. Their competitors
deafness could also be very difficult in bigger
companies because often the miniatures not
really liked to come to you with their
problems because then maybe they see and lack of self-confidence and they tried to overtake them, et cetera. So competitiveness is an alpha
male thing, I would say. And therefore, they tried to be always the
strong person and couldn't, couldn't be possible. Failure or made a mistake, etc. The hubris that and manager and senior manager should know
everything is omnipresent. And also this is with the competitiveness was
the boundaries of bluer. We can make fake failures. And it's good that we
make some because then the thinking process and the whole development
process can go further on. And this is also why
I say we have to be transparent and
over-communicate also such things as the last point, the circle of influence. Often the managers and
leaders in companies have two or three counterparts, which also are in a sea
level or also our managers. And they always getting
the same feedback, but they got no feedback from someone other and
deaf and blind spot. And this could be trapped in the whole
development process, in the whole management
culture as well. There are a few more trips, but this should give
you an overview and how it's not so easy when you would like to implement such communication
and management coaching processes
in the company.
38. Orientation from a systemic point of view: Orientation from a
systemic point of view. And it's necessary that we in our daily leadership
routines are no exactly where we want to go and therefore
we need orientation. That means we have some short, mid and long terms. What needs the company
in 612.24 months. And therefore, this is
necessary that we have goals. Goals means come
criticizing problems and building goes with
the right team, with the right stuff,
the white individuals. With this mindset, we are more able to conquer some challenges which
are ahead of us. And as an exponent, I would like to mention
here to talent management, it's absolutely critical to have the right persons to the right moment for
the right stuff. And therefore, we
have to identify, is there a lack or is there a should we
acquire more stuff? Maybe in a year because
someone is retired, someone maybe want to
change in the career path. I want to always be overtaking here, some
responsibilities, etc. Therefore, it's necessary to keep an eye on all
of the points. And of course also the last one, training on the job
training programs so that we can identify persons who are more likely to gain
some responsibilities. And when we are considering
all of these points, all of these a few points, then we have a good
orientation also from a systemic point of view because we are involving everyone. This is what systemic means. We have fun holistic view. We are making
participating processes where everyone is engaged with the topic and
to their goals so that the motivation
is increasing. And this is orientation from
a systemic point of view.
39. Re-evaluate the Organization: Re-evaluate the organization
and your role in it. There are different
kinds of occasions or incidents that could happen
where you question yourself. Is it the right strategy, what we are having nowadays? And it could be that I have
five years plan goes to the end and we want to
add our status quo. Or it could be that there's
some crisis where like COVID, etc, where we really have
to think in a new way. Therefore on
rehabilitating process comes very handy. So e.g. keep it really short and simple. We have fear and grid. And you're asking yourself, where are you and where
would you like to be? Dissonant dimension where the organizational culture
could be affected, the people, the staff, and the system by itself. And with system, I mean, how would you like to
see the company working? And also, which kind of people should you
acquire in the future. And also in the columns we have our current leadership
behavior and style. You could stay out
what it is now, enter desired
leadership behavior because you have to
think in terms, um, did for maybe four or
five years in the past, we haven't got included so much remote workers
in the company nowadays is on the daily basis that we are connected
through the whole world. And therefore, when it comes
to cultural different teams, where we have someone
as Asian, someone else, America, and a lot of
the European Union, e.g. we don't have only the challenge and obstacle was
this time zones. We also have different kinds of cultures, behaviors
and therefore, we need here different
approach and maybe are also on what leadership style and
behavior should adapt it. And this leads us to
the third column. We have to make concrete, precise actual blends
for making the change. Like all of the measures which we are dealt
in a normal way. It should be scheduled and
also as precise as possible. And then we could
form our future. And for the company. This is an
re-evaluating process. Very, very simple,
but it's effective in the way how we could
self-assess and change ourselves.
40. Related Leadership content: Let us talk in this video, but related to
leadership content. What I mean with that,
I would like to give you more context
where you can make a lot more research
in topics which are important when it comes to the systemic
leadership approach. And that's the first point
I would like to mention. Is it clear for you
what is management and leadership also in
and holistic view? Is it really necessary
that you make a distinction or is it only necessary that you
know that there is a certain task which should be fulfilled like for
junior managers. And I'm more in a
senior management area. And my main tasks are leading
the whole department, e.g. the second part could be to involve and implement
some habits. We liked routines in
our daily life and also habits could be
sustainable way into, um, give employees the way
that they can work here. And also habits
could be that you are giving feedback on
a regular basis, e.g. are there at the end of
the month or depends on how many departments you
are responsible for. You could have it at
the end of the quarter, the start of the quarter. So maybe in a few future, what they want to succeed
in this quarter, e.g. habits, yeah, um, give structure and gives
them also stability. The leadership
principles are also necessary when you are
facing some new problems. You could ask yourself,
what did you do last time and why was it in this way? What are the fundamental moral, ethical, or the
fundamental question? What do you ask
yourself so that you can act on the same way and principles are just way so that you can follow
something along. And this helps also to, for your employees that they can predict how you work
on a normal basis. Will you act? E.g. if employees have a problem and struggled with some content
from important clients, then it may think, okay, we have Uranus iteration. We should, of course, software problem very fast and also satisfying our client. So what can we do? And therefore, we think, okay, one of the leadership
principles is always, always the most satisfaction
for the client. Therefore, we may be
exceed our budget, but the satisfaction for the client isn't
a major priority. The system thinking
means that we are having Holistic
Thinking Approach. We know that our junior manager has also some problems
in their private life, is also very engaged in
sports topic is engaged. Here are some project
manager and an end. So we see all of them and then reacting regarding
all of this content. And also in an Company for you, we know that the system is more than declines to
stakeholders and employing. And this will help us to
sustain a long-term thinking. As an ex parte, I would like to mention you the
organizational design. One of the things which
I'm interested in, the research and development
topics a lot is how could we change their
organization regarding to the new broken environment. There are such lot
of passwords like Industry 4.8 hold working
places for points or serum. Not eight. It's not only
about interventions, it's how we want to
design our working space. I'm not not working space also, our working environment would like to deal a lot
of remote work. Would we like to have a
stationary in all of the areas? Some officers would
we like to have more open office space one or with a lot of
client contact, etc. And how would we like to design our whole
leadership system? Should we have only
one manager or one supervisor for more teams? Or should each team
have and supervisor? Should we try out
some new want some holistic I and some
Scrum techniques. These are all questions would, we should consider when it comes to an
organizational design? And also that we may have the need for
restructuring measures. Because on the whole
hierarchy concept isn't really adapted to
our fast pacing boards. And therefore, we
have to adapt here certain situations and
also the organization.
41. Take the initiative: One of the points from a systemic point of view is that we are taking
the initiative. And that means we are really take the responsibility
rather than blaming. We are accountable and responsible for
supporting process. And we are in the
communication clear and try to be as
accurate as possible. And when then one of
our team members are not delivering the tasks, what we want, then it's
our responsibility because we haven't got exactly defined what the
outcome should be. And this is like an
extreme ownership mindset. And this is also in coaching
in leadership that we're, are of course not
responsible for the output, but for the whole process. And when we work in a proper
way in then our teammates, the whole organization
can do their best. And this is what I would like to emphasize here a
little bit more. That's also that we are
knowing that we're in control, but we also know that we know
nothing with this attitude. We are going into the
systemic I'm attitude. And we know that we can
control the process, but we are not knowing
what's the problem, What's what's the main core
problem of the whole topic? Also, regarding this, take the initiative
approaches that we encourage and coach others
to try to enable and person. And how can we do that? We are trying to BD or give them all the
necessary resources and a broken place
what they need. E.g. I. Need a little
bit more time.
42. Create the Future: What does it mean to
create the future? And you are invited to click
on pause, think through it. What are the main key
concepts about creating the future SEO point of view from a leader
inside a company. And I have here take time to envision the long-time goals. Really thinking in
long-term growth is preached on every seminar in, on, in every course. But what does it really mean? It means to be sustainable, have sustainable outcomes for more than three or five years. And this is really long term. And take a closer look on
their company environment. How often are people changing
their broken places? And this is totally
legitimate and okay. But asking yourself
how using leader could be a little bit more sustainable in a way of decision-making and
making, long time goes. So that maybe also the
next person after you because maybe you are
also getting promoted. Half good department,
what he or she overtakes, take long-term goals, and also be aware of
the environment. There are so many things are
ongoing in our world today. That's not really
comprehensible for us to have everything in, in our view, but we should be
aware that something is changing always and
therefore without flexibility, we're might be more capable
of this challenges. And also active, really active, listened to the employees
what they are really neat. And of course, everyone
is blaming nowadays, we haven't gotten enough money, not enough time, not
enough education at, and not enough health, etc. But these are half hours are
always are some root causes. And these root causes
is necessary to find if you're really honestly
in your leadership role. And what I mean also, to see the big picture, not only seeing what is going
on here in my department, maybe the whole company
is struggling with some financial liquidity topics because of some of the
exchanges it's at. But what is really ongoing
in the production line, in the demand and supply chain, all the things should
be in the field, often leader and also improve, be 1% better each day. Also when it's
hard, try to sink. That's not what it's easy to do. What is the best to do
also for you in the few of tomorrow and for the
company, create the future.
43. GAS Model: This will be one of
the last chapters of this online course. And I would like to introduce
you to and very simple and easy to use model and
it's the guests model. In this model, there's
the leadership process in another organization are
often so elegantly designed. They are not really usable. It's too complicated,
it's too overthinking. And it's at a, therefore trust keep in mind
with he and triangle. There is an channel repurpose
and general meaning. We have to keep it
very, very simple, like the kiss principle, keep it short and stupid, e.g. and we have to be accurate. Do not print 20 page
compliance order for your for your department. No one really likes to read this stuff and obviously
it's not comprehensive, but be more general, just create four main rules. What everyone has
to think about. Our job is to break
the difficult things, the complexity into
one simple thing, general, accurate and simple. That's the gas model. So for an example here, organizations spent
days for crafting a mission statement for every department and
the whole company. What is really in
good thing because we need such mission statements. But then on the other hand, he uses a managers from every
department was involved. Also really, really good thing to keep the
drive in the company, the results of goods, but subsequently rarely used because it's too overwhelming. It's not practical. It's not on the base of
the workers and employees. This is an typical model. Our example for not
using the guests model, it wasn't intentionally a
good case and a good meaning. But in the implementation, there could be
something changed. And also an odd, an example, a senior manager spent
countless hours and money. A new management system. It was overwhelming and too many features that
nobody needed. There was too many
dashboards, too many inputs, what should be in, should be used, etc. And I'm sure all of you know
some of these examples, the systems were only
partially implemented. And because of the lack of
the meaning, barely least. This is a pity
because when someone really thinks about a system
which should be used, then the intentional
thought was good, but it, the implementation
was my goods. So a manager returns after time quality
management seminar, managers demands to implementation immediately
because things, It's so cool and so give so
much value to the department. But oneness, why others
not impressed into us? Think about the new system
because they weren't. It's the seminar and just see, oh, there's something
new coming up. I have much more work now because I have more
checklists, etc. This is not what it brings. So in this video, I would like to stress once more out when you're
implementing something new. All we think about the gas model and what the result it is.
