Corporate Leadership in a World of Complexity
Today’s managers and CEOs are navigating an increasingly fast paced and complex reality far from the one they originally trained for, both politically, environmentally and socially. Companies are pursuing performance goals, KPIs and optimisation with outdated inadequate leadership frameworks, while their employees are increasingly suffering from burn out.
In the Business Bildung: Sustainable Leadership in the 21st Century workshop participants learn to move away from the militaristic 20th Century management mindset and receive new effectful 21st Century tools and frameworks necessary to address the challenges of today.
Target Audience
Top management, board of directors, HR departments.

Backdrop: What is Business Bildung?
Business Bildung is a viable alternative to today’s marketisation and capitalisation of employees. Effectful management creates employee meaning and purpose, while facilitating effective collaboration. To achieve this, leaders need to create meaning and purpose through their management style.
We provide participants a fundamentally different way of looking at leadership, business and work, as well as new ways of defining success.
In this course you will learn to apply:
- Business Bildung over business psychology
- Informed distributed decision making to replace top down command
- Selforganisation, systemic creativity and meaningful development
- Inspiration from the lushness of nature replacing the zero sum militaristic thinking
- How to capitalise on complexity rather than control
- How to apply fruitful friction effectively
