Bernhard Heusler – Effective Leadership. He is one of the world’s leading experts in leadership and management. How you and your team can overcome crises and achieve your goals.

Whether in the boardroom at executive meetings, in the operating theatre, within a large corporation or at the local SME round the corner: leadership and teamwork take place everywhere. And it is always people – their tasks and roles – that determine whether shared goals are achieved. However, the circumstances and constellations are often as varied as the people involved in the interplay between leading and teaming. They are confronted with a wide range of challenges to their character.

He motivates and inspires with his keynote speeches and masterclasses, providing practical examples that can be implemented immediately within your teams and your organisation.

Bernhard Heusler & three important topics – Experiences, lessons learned & insights

Those who bear responsibility for leadership and teamwork face a wide range of challenges in ever-changing situations and contexts. Overcoming these challenges places high demands on one’s character. Above all, they require those in positions of responsibility to be willing to reflect on themselves and to work towards their own development and that of others.

Through open dialogue, Bernhard Heusler engages with participants on practical experiences and lessons learnt – in other words, the very personal learning process of leaders. The approach does not rely on set formulas or mnemonic rules. Teaching materials consist of specific real-life case studies.

The Leadership Framework – 7 principles for leadership that deliver results.

Bernhard Heusler’s “7 Leadership Principles” that underpin how new leadership works in the age of artificial intelligence, New Work and intercultural management: responsibility, trust, clarity, attitude, team culture, decisiveness and reflection.

In the interactive sessions and workshops, Bernhard Heusler works with participants to analyse the attitudes and behaviour of leaders and team members. He places them in the context of a specific case study and works with them to develop ideas on how to resolve it in the best interests of the whole. In this way, the workshops and seminars replicate and demonstrate the ‘learning by doing’ approach in the day-to-day work of those responsible for teams and results.
