Dear ladies and gentlemen,
This newsletter is the start of a new series for new leaders.
Gunther Fürstberger, Managing Partner of MDI, demonstrates the changes new leaders are faced with in the actual photo story.
Consciously letting go
Question:
„Gunther, according to your opinion, what are the biggest changes for a new leader? “
Gunther:
„Being a product manager, for example, I would spend up to 90% of my time with expert activities. Once I become a leader, I also have to deal with leadership and management tasks. Hence I have to let go my expert side in order to have time for these new tasks.”

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
especially communication often represents a big challenge for new leaders.
Why is communication is so complex? We have asked Rüdiger Tesar, certified management trainer and managing partner at MDI, to explain. Please, have a look at his answers in the following photo story.
The 3 levels of communication
Question:
„Rüdiger, why can communication be such a big challenge for new leaders?“
Rüdiger:
„Because communication takes place on three levels: content, verbal and non-verbal. If, for example, the content does not conform to the other two levels, the message is mainly determined by the verbal and non-verbal components. These three levels are a total package, which a leader has to deal with.”

Dear ladies and gentlemen, Imagine a seminar with six participants
- How many participants do you think apply the new knowhow successfully?

Out of six participants of a seminar…
…only one participant applies the new knowhow successfully.
…four participants try but fail.
…one participant does not even try.*
