"Leadership and Management are the two disciplines that are wired in the political system as much as corporate. Just, differently." says the leadership specialist Gerald Huesch who is also the owner of the Global Leadership School.
Everyone can become a "Role Model Leader"
Under stress and pressure it is hard to think, say, do, what is appropriate. Great tools and mechanics strongly guide us, like the hand of our parents at the saddle, when we first learn to ride the bike: If we are about to lose balance, and fall, this hand, these methods, and mechanics bring us back to balance, towards the right behaviors — bringing out what we already have — with the right dose of impact and momentum, we never experienced before.

PainPoints: The loudest idea!
"And again, in todays' meeting the loudest ideas won again, not the best!". "Many of us were not heard, and if they did, others show their disapproval non-verbally. They looked at each other, short sharp exhaling sounds, like a thunderstruck from a distance, that indicates 'storm ahead' — if I dare to continue — it was clear — 'nope — not this idea!"
The necessary 5 Cs of Successful Leadership!

Im Rahmen konkreter Projekt-Bewältigungs-Anforderungen wurden, von Dezember 2010 bis März 2011, streng wissenschaftliche „Leadership-Klima"-Messungen von innerbetrieblichen Leadership-Entwicklungs-Programmen durchgeführt.
