Mission and success of employees in focus. Empowerment – strengthening yourself and others.
Successful leaders delegate responsibility to their team based on the principle of "Lower your Ego." This requires strong self-awareness, genuine appreciation, and an eye for the potential of team members.
Transformation and impact – moving forward and taking responsibility.
Successful leaders provide direction to their team. They bring ideas to life, actively contribute, and inspire others. They lead with courage and implement decisions wisely and strategically in line with their leadership duties.
Excellent communication – clear messages and openness to others.
Successful leaders are open to different opinions and change. They recognize dynamics, resolve conflicts, and stand by their decisions. Failure sharing is part of their mindset.
