First Live-Forum at ComTeam concerning leadership

On Friday, April 15th, out team met here at the Tegernsee with clients from different companies to discuss the subject of leadership.

Theses were the specific topics:

• The situation of young leaders in Germany
• Corporate Culture
• Our new leadership-training: ‘Quintessence of Leadership’

First we were presenting the results of the ‘ComTeam study 05’, which shows in detail the situation of young leaders in Germany. In small groups we discussed the relevance of the results and the consequences we see for the development of leadership.

Concerning corporate culture we offered that you could examine your company in the net via a questionnaire. We have developed this questionnaire based on a model of culture by Fons Trompenaars, which differentiates 4 types of culture: family, project, structure, ideas. Each company has its share in all of these areas.
Our question was: what is the consequence and the impact of the result of our survey for the development of leadership? As a result we saw, that there are many aspects that need to be included when dealing with corporate culture and that it takes time to do so. Time for discussion and for the ripening of the questions that come up!

This year we will for the first time offer a training program for young leaders: “Quintessence of Leadership”. Designed for the special needs of your company and the corporate culture and as an open training as well, it deals with topics that are relevant for everyday life of a leader. We discussed these topics and the values that the program is built on. We were especially interested in the question: How did these values evolve? And we discussed what is already done for training young leaders and what else could be realistic alternatives in the near future.

All in all it was a very fruitful and interesting day which brought a lot of information and fun for both sides. And it had the nice effect that some of our new clients had the possibility to get to know us better.

Here you can read what some of the participants of the Live-Forum thought about this day

“As always with ComTeam seminars and events, it has been a useful day, emotionally, seen from the perspective of a personnel manager and intellectually. From the information given and the discussions we had, I got some interesting ideas and I already look forward to my next meeting with ComTeam”
Peter Straßer, Leader Personnel Management, NETCOLOGNE Gesellschaft für Telekommunikation mbH, Köln

“The ComTeam Live-Forum in April was good! For me it was important to look at the specific needs of our young leaders…..and also to move away a bit from my own conviction of what is necessary. With the methods we were using, we got a lot of transparency about what is needed for a cultural change in terms of necessary consulting and qualification. This brought many ideas for me and my work.”
Christoph Hecker, Personnel- and Changemanagement, AGIS Allianz Dresdner Informationssysteme GmbH

„As a personnel manager you should at least once come to ComTeam; because of the constructive, goal-oriented work that takes place in a light and pleasant atmosphere. You get a lot of information and it is up to you to take those aspects that are relevant for you and your project. Even by one day of such a work, I was lastingly impressed.”
Klaus Derksen, Leader Personnel Management, Leopold Kostal GmbH & Co. KG
