Companies striving for success at today’s time need new leading personalities. Such leaders have to be social architects who are ready to create something new, foster innovation, unleash forces and at the same time keep the operational business on track. High performance leaders create working structures and cultures, which enables employees to add their intelligence and creativity. The decisive key competence of high performers nowadays is effective self-leadership. It means taking control of one’s own mental state, adjusting one’s thinking and even feeling and developing a confident way of living and working. Based on this, a leader’s effectiveness will increase considerably.
More companies than ever are confronted with necessary changes at the beginning of the third millennium. There are two underlying factors: on the one hand, globalization of markets, increasing competition and new technologies require creative and flexible entrepreneurial strategies. On the other hand, companies are confronted with social trends such as the expectation of more self-determination, participation and individual self-development. However, not only the economic environment and society are changing; there is also an increased integration of individuals and systems. Therefore, this book aims at offering a guideline, a basic structure and procedures to navigate and control new and uncertain environments.
