Increases productivity at all levels — by a multiple factor. Highest clarity — lowest misunderstanding from the CEO to the shop floor. Reliable responsiveness to markets, customers, internal and external stakeholders. Problems will come much faster to the surface and to the right person. Less waste, less blind work, less double work. A unique performance climate and corporate culture. Easy to handle. Easy to implement. Plug & Play. Globally applicable — across hierarchies, levels and silos. Interculturally valid. A joy to use.
Dr. Claus Jessen

Mondi announced the completion of its STEP project — the largest modernization project in three decades in the Russian paper and pulp industry, with an investment volume of 545 million euros. You took on the mandate: 'Failure is not an option.' In short: you played a substantial part in the success. Your leadership philosophy, your scientifically proven instruments, your clear methodology and your reliable integrity were and are of inestimable value to me personally and to our organization.
Dr. Gerhard Kornfeld
CEO, Mondi Syktyvkar
World-class! Over the course of my career I have taken part in many different leadership trainings, including top-level global university programs such as MIT. What sets Gerald's amazing leadership system apart from the others is the effectiveness, the fun and the immediate applicability of his unique techniques — a synthesis of the best approaches to leadership and collaboration on the global market. First-class leadership techniques to achieve first-class results.
Pierre Samaties
Partner, Roland Berger · Global Head Crypto Economy, Energy
When it comes to professional — for me Gerald is one of the best Leadership experts in Europe and even in the world. His extremely wonderful motivational training and methodology can inspire anyone. It exceeded all expectations by far. 7 out of 5 stars. His methodology, experience, and practical approach I find unparalleled and can't remember having seen his profound ability anywhere else in my professional career.
Dr. PKC Bose

Tatiana Novikova

A demanding but outstanding presentation on leadership at the highest level — practical and immediately applicable.
Dr. A. Dresel

Gerald is one of the most amazing leadership trainers. It is all about instruments and applying them backed-up with solid evidence. And you can apply immediately what you have learnt and heard.
Dr. Andy Weymann

For Festo, working with your tools is a great opportunity to avoid misunderstandings in coordination. Topics are clearly defined (clarity circle), and through the 9 chambers we become even more effective, efficient and innovative.
Andreas Schlegel
Head of Component Solutions, Festo AG & Co. KG
A very holistic approach: verbal and non-verbal aspects are taken into account, cause-and-effect relationships shown clearly and systematically. The tools presented were always placed in an overall context. Valuable, individual feedback with clear and immediate ways to implement it.
Andreas Schüpfer
Director Finance, Sterling SIHI GmbH
Called 'Business Consultant' but additionally full of impactful personal supportive ideas and tools. Participating in his courses is an experience and not a duty. You leave with plenty of energy and a good feeling. Top managers, group leaders, and employees will be enriched by his courses.
Anja Kopp
Senior Director Supply Chain Management, W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG
With this tool I can organize my team and myself well, I have transparency over the workflow and a just-in-time status. The team feels co-responsible and involved. Acceptance and identification are high.
Arno Delpy
Team Runge, T-COM
We had the privilege that you trained surgeons at McMaster University, Canada, as well as the Indian society of trauma surgeons in Pune in your evidence-based leadership. Evidence-based Leadership & Management is a must for everyone who deals with people in the healthcare industry — patients, colleagues, employees, institutions. Your path provides the 'missing link'.
Dr. Beate Hanson
Vice President, Worldwide Medical, Clinical Research, Baxter International Inc.
The training conveys many tools that are simple and immediately applicable, to deal professionally, safely and effectively with the most common topics of employee leadership. And in a very vivid way and with a lot of fun.

Gerald masterfully translates his outstanding leadership skills and passion for business into highly motivating and inspiring training/coaching sessions. A pleasure.
Camilla Heinzmann
Director, Global Scientific Training, Qiagen
Gerald is a great leadership trainer providing excellent support to each individual during his consultations. All experiences learnt can be transferred in your day-to-day life very easily. Looking forward to my next cooperation.
Carsten Arntz
ZF
Before starting this one-week workshop, we all have been one-man-shows without acting as a real team. Gerald has chosen the right 'instruments' in order to build up a team spirit. And it worked! During this week, we have opened our minds and have taken the first and right steps to become a leadership team.
Daniela Moellers
Associate Director, Product Management + Business Dev., Lufthansa AirPlus
I believe he is a master in his field. Gerald showed a tremendous talent for perceiving his audience's needs. He is able to teach technical skills and tools while also inspiring class members to strive for excellence. I recommend Gerald as an expert and a facilitator in the field of leadership development.
Daisy Dix
Finance Director, Western Union
'Good' is not enough to describe the quality of this course. The impact this training already had is phenomenal. I am certain that the impact we have seen in the past three days is only the tip of the iceberg. The impact goes beyond my professional life; it will affect my personal well-being, my relationship with my loved ones, and my ability to make the world better.
Director Global Training
innogy Consulting GmbH, Essen
I would like to term your session at Saertex, Pune, as a major turning point in my life. I was under perception that I need to improve only maybe 10%. Your session has given me scope of 5–6 times in personal, family, social, professional, and spiritual aspects of life. I'd be forever thankful to you!
Divyanand D. Deshbhandari
Senior Manager, SAERTEX INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, Pune
The tools and techniques provided by Gerald provide a solid foundation for the Prion India leadership team to speak common management language. These tools additionally help to reach 'over exceeding customer expectations' state and still keep all employees highly motivated.
Ehsan Shariff
General Manager, Prion PLM & IT Services Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore
In the TSAM and CRM-T teams clear positive developments are showing: defect handling implemented, problem resolution in 10 days, legacy cases cleared, escalation procedures agreed, goals for the next 30 days set.
Henning Runge
Telekom ZIT
A fine tool: clean logic and structure. It becomes clear what hinders, which work steps are necessary, where the boundaries of the work areas lie and what the general doing is.
Pfeil
Telekom ZIT
Gerald Hüsch designs the training in an entertaining, precise and thus extremely efficient way. Many seminars leave participants at a loss regarding concrete applicability. Not so with Gerald Hüsch: he conveys detailed tools and check routines that are extremely practical and therefore helpful. Highly recommended!
Holger Eckstein
CFO, Hubert Burda Media Holding KG
I have now been working for 30 years, more than 20 of them as managing partner — and I must say, it was simply great. From the atmosphere to the substantive content, everything fit. You managed to take all participants along in a playful way on a journey that you can apply in all its facets in your daily and professional life. I am very glad that my son, who wants to continue our office, already knows at the start of his career where things are headed.
Dipl.-Ing., Dipl.-Kfm. Horst Rieß
Managing Partner, ibs – Sack & Partner
This is the best training I have received in Leadership (and I have already received a few). Again, thanks a lot.
Juan Javier Pérez
Finance and HR Manager
I have been to dozens of leadership-focused courses, many of them very good, but Gerald's course was more practical, immediately applicable, and inspiring than any other I have attended. Gerald demonstrates a strong intellectual capacity, a broad and in-depth understanding of his field, and a personable delivery style that inspires trust.
Julie Petty
Founder, Mountain Threads, Denver
The consulting our leadership team received from Gerald was valuable, and all agreed it was better than anything we'd been through before. He pushed and challenged us beyond our comfort zones until we really learned. Working with Gerald was a pleasure.
Karen Ellis
Director, AML Compliance Global Programs and Risk, Western Union
I have never experienced the Huesch evidence-based leadership system not delivering the highest performance in terms of efficiency, impact and results. When I don't apply it consciously — I need a very good day!
Dr. Klaus Grellmann
Managing Director, goetzpartners
Gerald taught us extremely useful techniques to become better leaders, better persons, and last but not least, a better team. During our 5-day leadership workshop, Gerald brought us to a new level of team spirit and gave each one of our management team loads of input and individual feedback.
Lars Schmidt
Director Key Account Management & Operations, Lufthansa AirPlus
I was very impressed by Gerald's knowledge in the areas of leadership effectiveness, organizational structure, and conducive corporate culture. It was such a great combination of teamwork versus individual effort. I have learned a great deal about group dynamics and about myself in terms of leadership style.
Lei Chidester
Senior Director, Western Union
Life-changing for leaders and through that world-improving. Through Gerald we learn to 'lead' with influence and clarity instead of power and harshness. Best seminar of my life.
Lukas Homberger
Divisional Manager
Excellent seminar! To develop teams into high-performance teams, you need tools like these that are reproducible and copyable. Purely intuitive leadership has its limit.
Lennard Löffler
Sales Manager
I'm really honoured to have the opportunity to learn your art, your knowledge, your charming stage style and your thoughtful words! I feel already evoked by the concept. I really do hope I could have the whole package knowledge and looking forward to read from you!
Madeleine Feng
Festo Production Ltd., Jinan, China
It is very important to me and to your direct managers that you actively participate in the leadership training. We already had the opportunity to complete this training and were thrilled. Most seminars don't answer the question of what you can do differently the next day. Here you learn and practice methods you can try out as early as tomorrow.
Maik Glutting
Plant Manager, ZF, Berkheim Plant
Highly recommended — eye-opening — great stories.

This has been the best program I have ever visited. Gerald is a top motivator, high energy person with a clear feel of people's being. He uses this ability to bring out the best in people, leading to people performing beyond their own expectations. The Leadership Program by Gerald has made me perform at a much higher level.
Mark Monteiro
Head of Product Management EMEA, Invacare Corporation
Your leadership seminar with our management left its mark and our meeting the next day went noticeably differently. We have also taken this as an opportunity to discuss the further introduction at SIHI.
Martin Boelter
Managing Director/COO, Sterling SIHI GmbH
Gerald has the ability to connect individually with each member of a group and align all of them towards a better management team. His behavior is always authentic. His methods and his bulletproof life examples are holding the test of reality. For me, Gerald Huesch is on the top of the league.
Marlies Moemel
Associate Director Sales, AirPlus
The way he managed our multicultural group was magic. Tough on the subject to achieve results, but gentle to everybody in the group. After more than one month, it's still easy to remember the exercises from the training, and it's fun to use them in business practice to improve communication and performance.
Mathias Meissner
Head of Global Business Center, T-Systems International
He really has an inspiring and motivating character with very high values. I admire his way of tackling problems and coming to the crucial point very fast. If you have to solve a major problem in your organization or want to develop it further, he is the person to contact.
Maximilian Mairhofer
Senior Manager, Siemens
Even a week after the course it has a lasting effect. The three-day course was not a single minute of wasted time. I received hints, techniques, suggestions and examples that stimulate my thinking and that now support me daily in practice.
Michael Brunner
Deputy Managing Director, Identitas AG
Never before have I received in a leadership seminar (and I have done a few) so many practical pieces of information and tools that I can introduce and apply immediately and relatively easily. I am convinced that your seminar performs best in terms of sustainability.
Michael Frey
Senior Manager Finance & HR, HAVI Logistics GmbH
Many thanks for your inspiring talk and for safely guiding the way to a better and more effective togetherness.

Gerald is passionate about his work and translates that passion to his teaching. He is engaging and professional in his delivery, which makes it easy to apply his work within your professional and personal life.
Mike Kalac
VP, Western Union
During the seminar week I got to know very many practical tools that can be applied not only at work but also in private life and for yourself. Didactically the content was conveyed at the highest level — played, practiced and every topic underpinned with lasting anecdotes from practice.
Mike Ludwig
Business Unit Controller, Swisscom IT Services AG
I am very blessed to have had the good fortune of meeting you — our paths were meant to cross. You bring so much hope and optimism which inevitably spreads to everybody in your contact.

Since 2010 you have been running the 'Project Leadership' training for RWE Consulting with your Global Leadership School. This training program meets the highest standards of didactics, implementation and effectiveness in practice.
Oliver Riedel
Business Partner, RWE Consulting GmbH
In 3 days, you taught us so many tools. Each of them was useful, easy to learn, and immediately transferable into business. Above that, you showed how to interact with other people in a friendly, human way, even if severe problems are to be solved. This was the most encouraging and helpful training I ever had.
Peter Flicke
Emscher Lippe Energie GmbH
Very interesting. It gave me what I needed and what I seek.

Gerald is a great person, trustworthy, consistent, and as well a good integrator.
Ralf Heller

This was not only professional, but individually dosed precisely for each member of the group, authentic, empathetic and an important enrichment for work and for one's own life. It was great.
Ralf Kammer
Managing Director, NABER GmbH Insurance Brokers
Communication success is key to leadership success, which is key to lifetime achievement. Gerry's passion and enthusiasm in spreading communication and leadership understanding is lifting up our skills and abilities beyond what seemed to be possible.
Rene N. Ritter
Strategic Sourcing and VE Manager, Oil & Energy
I am rather skeptical towards motivation and leadership seminars. I was very positively surprised by your 3-day workshop. The techniques and instruments are actually applicable. This leadership seminar convinced me, which is rarely the case.
Roger Schoch
Certified Expert in Accounting and Controlling
You had set in motion a series of events that eventually led me to getting certified in the PCM Methodology — at present, I'm the only Indian who is certified! Your amazing personal life story of hard work, perseverance, and initiative has inspired me to work on several leadership modules for Indian managers in global jobs. Thank you for being a source of inspiration.
Ronald S. Fernandes
CEO, Metamorphosis
I found the course material and his style to be very engaging, informative and relevant — he kept the team involved & motivated from the beginning to the end. He is deeply knowledgeable about his subject matter and knows how to deliver the information in a way that is pertinent to his audience.
Shivani Govil
Vice President, Solution Management, SAP Ariba
Gerald was surprisingly quickly able to find out strengths and weaknesses of our organization and adapted his training accordingly — helping me to better understand how to improve things.
Steffen Klewitz
Strategic Marketing Director, SAP
Before the training, my capability to lead large meetings was quite limited. Less than a week after the training I led two large meetings, one with board-level attendees. In both, I was able to directly apply the instruments learned, and the outcome was excellent feedback on the quality of moderation.
Senior Project Manager
Global, innogy Consulting GmbH, Essen
I had a group-level and a face-to-face training with Gerald on general leadership and some more detailed topics. Both training units were absolutely outstanding. Gerald has excellent expertise and knows how to teach in a way it will not get forgotten in the next days of regular business.
Robert Stößer
CFO, WET
I came away incredibly impressed by his expertise and insight into leadership, and his ability to teach, train, and develop people on the same. This would be without doubt one of the best programs that I have attended, and one that I got the most value from, in many years of management experience.
Sunil Balagopal
Chief Executive Officer, VoiceCash Holdings B.V.
Your course was definitely one of the most entertaining and applicable I have ever had. Thank you.
Dr. Thorsten Andres
Vice President Development, BENTELER Steel/Tube GmbH
I felt enlightened regarding having a structure with tools to develop my leadership abilities.

During the three days, Mr. Huesch taught us three practical management tools: the climate chart to evaluate a team as a whole, the 8 chambers decision-making for effective project management, and the percentage-of-success method to discuss tough problems and solve them effectively. Our team spirit is strengthened by the training.
Wei Wei
Jinan Pneumatics Co. Ltd.
I have recently attended a training on 'transformation & leadership' held by Gerald. It was the best training session I have ever had. Gerald is a very experienced and energetic person with great communication skills. I would recommend this training to everyone. Good job, Gerald!
Yuecel Karabulut
Director Product Management, Oracle
Thank you for making the annual Kuoni India Key Managers' Seminar so special. You have a singular ability to galvanize 120 people such that they are attentive and participative throughout a 4-hour session. 'This was the best KMS ever' was a line I heard again and again at the end of the day!
