Nowadays, leadership is more than ‘just being an expert’, delegating tasks or achieving goals. Leadership is the ability to change perspectives, master conflicts, communicate clearly, act consistently, empower others and unleash potential. Leadership is the ability to dynamise overarching collaboration and teams in order to create an environment that makes transformation possible in the first place. Often, this change does not start with the goals, structures or processes, but with the mindset or attitude of the manager themselves. Our thoughts, attitudes and emotions characterise our actions. They shape our communication, the way we deal with conflicts and therefore our decisions. The inner attitude of the manager influences that of the team and therefore shapes the culture. A conscious change of perspective – away from problems and obstacles and towards solutions and opportunities – can not only increase personal success, but also effectively change the world around us. A positive and flexible proactive attitude, the management of emotions and the creation of trust are the basis for effective leadership in transformation. Only those who can change their thoughts and realign their attitude can create the basis for winning others over and making a difference together. Leadership begins in the mind.conflict profile?
