LEADERSHIP FOR THE 2020s:
A NEW MODEL
FOR THE FUTURE
Starting Point
The client faces challenges that could hold back future growth, particularly in human resources. An acute shortage of skilled staff, the changed expectations of the younger generation and a traditional, conservative understanding of leadership shape the situation. A decentralised company structure with regional entrepreneurs and an international parent company sharpens all of it and creates a complex stakeholder landscape. Against a background of differing views on leadership, long shaped by traditional and commercially driven thinking, came the impulse to rethink leadership. The "Führung der 2020er" initiative marks an important step towards a shared, future-facing leadership model that matches the changed conditions and expectations.

Goals

- 2

Approach & Impact
Management workshops developed a leadership model grounded in established models and theories and validated through interviews across the company. The same workshops produced clear role descriptions and leadership principles. A broad communication campaign, designed as a top-down movement, anchored the new model throughout the company. In parallel, a programme for young managers ran as a bottom-up initiative to develop emerging talent. Several leadership workshops served as pilots for the planned leadership studios, with top management acting as sponsor for each one.
