Finde heraus, wie du selbst ein Transformative Leader werden kannst

Lerne aus den Interviews zur Transformation von Führungspersönlichkeiten und echten Vorbildern

Warum Vorbilder uns nicht weiterbringen

Was die Welt sicher nicht braucht, sind noch mehr Zukunftsprediger auf den Bühnen. Wir haben auch genug glatte und geschönte Prominentengeschichten von Menschen, die „unerreichbar“ scheinen. Deshalb ist das klassische Vorbild-Modell auch etwas neben der Spur. Wir wollen nicht, dass unsere Teilnehmer*innen überlebensgroße Figuren imitieren, indem sie deren Verhalten kopieren. Wir brauchen authentische Menschen, die anderen auf Augenhöhe begegnen und ihnen helfen, ihren ganz eigenen Weg zu finden.

Was ist ein echter Leader by Example?

Es geht darum, Führungskräfte nicht in ihren Rollen, sondern als ganze Menschen zu zeigen. Wir sehen sowohl ihre Leistungen als auch ihre Fehltritte als inspirierende Beispiele. Aus diesem Grund haben wir beschlossen, nur von „Leadern by Example“ zu sprechen. Das mag spitzfindig klingen, aber „die Bedeutung eines Wortes ist sein Gebrauch in der Sprache“, wie Wittgenstein einmal sagte.

Warum Interviews über den Transformation?

Denn wenn wir Menschen befragen, die es getan haben, die es gesehen haben, die es (nicht) geschafft haben, können wir alle lernen, WIE wir es besser machen können. Wieder und wieder. Bei der Transformation geht es nicht so sehr um die Theorie, sondern um das Experimentieren. Veränderungen können nicht durchdacht werden. Sie kann nur im wirklichen Leben gelebt werden. Das ist der Unterschied zwischen SUCHEN und FINDEN. Wir hoffen sehr, dass diese Transformationsinterviews dir helfen und dich inspirieren, deinen eigenen Weg auf dieser Transformationsreise zu entdecken. Der Weg ist anstrengend, aber er lohnt sich. Und es gibt keinen anderen Weg.

Möge die Macht mit dir sein!
