Globalization, cost pressure, and frequent personnel changes place significant demands on leaders: from motivating employees to communication, as well as conflict and stress management. This challenge is particularly pronounced for young leaders. The authors address this issue: this book serves as a guide and reference work for anyone taking on leadership responsibilities. In addition to easily readable theory, case studies vividly demonstrate practical implementation; clear questionnaires and checklists can be directly applied in everyday work. Content includes: - Leadership leads to success - Motivating by example - Different levels of communication - Teamwork as a magic formula - Managing conflicts. Sigrun Schlick, Maria Lucia Marinho, and Alexander Schlick offer international consulting, training, and coaching through their consulting firm.
