Everybody gets lost sometimes: While walking through a foreign city, for instance, or after taking the wrong side road with the car. In business it is similar: Sometimes you are on the wrong track. Our recommendation for this week: Ask for feedback.
Most certainly each of you has a certain image in mind of how to be and how to be perceived as an employee or a leader. Confident multi-tasker, popular colleague, appreciated expert, highly approved boss. Furthermore the one to stay calm in any stressful situation and the one who always knows a trick or tip to execute things a little bit better.
Each Monday, in our rubric “#MondayLead – Your weekly development” we present a little task or inspiration to you aiming at enriching your working life and making your following week as a leader easier. Any task is explained succinctly to be immediately applicable in practice.
If you internalise the key messages of the tasks and implement them in your working life you’ll be able to watch “Your weekly development”.
Have fun with your personal growth!
First week’s task is as easy as effective – Meet your employees with a smile!

Have you made lots of plans for 2015, have you set yourself new goals? For many of us this is part of the New Year´s tradition just like pouring lead, giving away marzipan piglets or listening to the New Year´s Concert. Nevertheless, from experience we know that the implementation often fails. According to a study* 7 out of 10 New Year´s resolutions are not kept.
In keeping with the motto “Self-Leadership – It starts with you!” we would like to provide you with an impulse for the successful achievement of your goals. “The implementation of our plans is feasible if we address the right issues. Self-Leadership starts with oneself”, says Gunther Fürstberger, Managing Director of MDI, in his current book “Self-Leadership”.
Dear ladies and gentlemen!

Photo Story – Reflection Guide
Anita, what do you understand by the concept of the Reflection Guide?
As a Reflection Guide I support the participants in reflecting situations or issues, which particularly bother them, in a personal conversation. Together we develop possible solutions and I encourage them to develop and use their own skills, resources and problem-solution strategies.
