Workshop for managers

Am I leading or reacting?

Automatic driver operating modes and their effects

A leader may know what kind of leader he wants to be, but still act out of habit in everyday situations - take over, intervene too quickly, control, avoid awkward conversations, or shoulder more responsibility than is really necessary.

This hands-on workshop will help you notice when you are choosing your leadership style consciously and when you are operating from automatic mode. You link the result of the driver's working modes profile to a real driving situation, compare your intention with the possible effect and choose a specific driving test.

Preliminary workprofile of the manager's work modes and selection of one management situation

Form of workshort input parts, individual reflection, case-based work and voluntary discussion

Do you recognize any situations?

You want to give responsibility, but you intervene before the employee can find a solution on his own.

You want to be supportive, but you take the problem on yourself.

You want to maintain a good cooperation, but you postpone the necessary conversation.

You want to ensure quality, but control reduces the decision-making space of others.

You want to move forward quickly, but others cannot think along or take responsibility.

These reactions do not mean that you are a bad leader. It is often a familiar and once useful mode of operation that starts before you can consciously assess the situation.

What do we do in the workshop?

Before the workshop, you will complete the profile of the Manager's work modes. This is a short self-assessment that helps you notice which automatic ways of acting may be activated more often in times of stress or uncertainty. The result remains private to you.

you think about your frequently repeated work mode

you map out a real leadership situation

you distinguish the facts of the situation from your own quick interpretation and impulse

you compare your intention with the possible effect of your behavior

you learn to use the Leader's choice break

you choose one leadership experiment to implement in real life in the next two weeks

The focus of the workshop is not general theory, but your own management situation.

What will you take away from the workshop?

an initial picture of one's own automatic operating modes

a clear mapping of one leadership situation

a better understanding of how your intention and influence can differ

a practical way to restore the space of choice before acting

a concrete attempt to make your daily leadership more conscious

The workshop does not judge what kind of leader you are and does not claim that the profile shows how others really perceive you. It creates reasonable hypotheses that you can check in the future through your behavior and feedback.

Who is the workshop suitable for?

The workshop is suitable for new and experienced leaders who want to:

lead more stably and less on autopilot

understand their repetitive leadership reactions

give people more clarity, trust and room for responsibility

prepare more consciously for difficult conversations and decisions

make sense of their influence without self-recrimination or a list of simple "right moves"

Two formats

In-house workshop

For managers of an organization. Examples and cases are adapted to the real situations of the company, and managers get a common language for making sense of automatic work modes and conscious management choices. Individual profile results remain with the participants. They are not forwarded to the company.

Public workshop

For managers of various organizations. The focus is on the participant's personal leadership style and one of his own real leadership situations. Sharing is voluntary and the profile result remains private.

Further development

Noticing one automatic operating mode and making one new choice is an important start. A more permanent change occurs when the leader learns to notice the same pattern earlier in different situations, restores his choice space and practices new behavior consistently.

The longer Conscious Leader program takes the work on to leader relationships, feedback, delegation, difficult conversations and impact on the team.
