Last Friday we had again our Autonomy Day presentations at MDI. I am impressed how simple and effective this agile tool is. We agreed in our company on the following: Each employee has 1 day during the quarter to work on whatever she/he wants to work on as long as it supports the success of the company.
Leaders have an extraordinary impact on their organizations, stakeholder and environment. This impact leads to one of the most important tasks for leaders: Empowering the people arround themselves so that they can also have a positive impact and build something great together with their leader. Therefore, leaders need to be able to create and systems, processes and corporate cutures that enable such an empowerment and with it sustainable, long-lasting successes.
In the following article, Tina Deutsch, Co-foundress and Managing Partner at Haufe Advisory, is going to explain how you as a leader can use your leadership impact to create environments that boost the ideas of your employees and ensure your long-lasting strategic success.
As the 16-year-old Boyan Slat was diving in Greece in 2011, he discovered more waste than fish. And soon decided to start the Ocean Cleanup project. In the last few years thousands of people joined to support his initiative with providing money, technical solutions, promotion and so on. Although the first bigger cleaning attempt in California did not yet bring the wished results, the motivation of now company leader Boyan Slat stays unbroken and they go on improving their ideas and following their mission-of-heart to free our oceans from plastic waste
For many years now we have been supporting leaders on the topic of lateral leadership and so far we helped more than 1000 leaders to take their leadership skills to the next level, to win their employees and their commitment for their projects. Due to this, it is obvious that we ourselves want to stay up to date on this topic.
Therefore, we like to get inspired in many ways – be it a quick podcast on a train ride, a blogpost for in-between or specialist literature for browsing intensively. We have gathered 8 exciting inspirational sources for you to read or listen to. Have fun!
