Center for Leadership
Leadership plays a crucial role in how strategies are implemented and what results they can achieve. Is a company trying to achieve objectives by force and pressure or can they convey enthusiasm and thereby create commitment?
Studies by Gallup and other institutions regularly point out the great potential for improvements on the subject of employee satisfaction and commitment. The St. Gallen Center for Leadership can show you how to realize this potential and how good leadership can improve your company’s results.
Leadership is a very personal issue because it also touches on the analysis and development of your own entrepreneurial behavior. The St. Gallen Centre for Leadership has the latest methods and tools available.
Modern leadership more and more turns into intercultural leadership. The St. Gallen Center for Leadership provides solutions to a culturally appropriate leadership, guaranteeing your success in this global environment.
Leadership is a crucial part of a successful strategy implementation - neglect will have an effect on your success. Different situations and environments call for different leaderships. What kind of leadership meets the current strategic requirements best? How can leadership support the company’s development, seeing changes not only taking place on paper but are actually being lived by? How can you create a culture of change out of the numerous change projects?
The "integrated, implementation-oriented St. Gallen Management Model" illustrates the relationship between leadership behavior/social skills and the cumulative results.
The St. Gallen Center for Leadership presents ways to sustainably increasing your cumulative results by optimizing your leadership behavior.
