Dismantling Leadership - Can you empower too much?
Dismantling Leadership - a discussion round co-hosted by HHL and leadership.sprouts
HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management and leadership.sprouts, together created a talk round that reacts to current developments in society and economy. The Virtual Talk series addresses the latest and key topics to a broad audience.
We invited Waldemar Zeiler and Philip Siefer from Einhorn GmbH to debate about whether there can be too much empowerment? Einhorn has ever since been a playground for alternative leadership and company culture concepts. And Philip and Waldemar embrace the philosophy of consequent implementation. Together with Rolf Schrömgens from leadership.sprouts and Stephan Stubner from HHL, we discuss these questions: What does it take to truly empower people? How much care and attention is needed to do it successfully? And when can it cause harm to people and to the performance of your organization?

01:04:31||Ep. 12How would you describe your business when describing it with the adjectives of a person?responsible? goal-oriented? empathetic? brave? data-driven? empowering? supportive?More interestingly, why would you even try to answer this question? Corporate identity has emerged as a big field in organizational development, confronting companies with the question of who they really are: their core beliefs, the values they promote, and how they operate. Looking into our digitalized and fast-paced world you spot already the inefficiency of a rule-based approach which most corporates are still following. They are outdated the moment they are created. Values, in contrast, shape behavior and mindset and thus apply much better for navigating through dynamic and complex environments.11.

The Virtual Talk series addresses the latest and key topics to a broad audienceTogether with our guest Wilfried Gillrath (Entrepreneur and Investor), we talk about the mechanisms of Safety & Competition in an organization and how leaders need to find a healthy balance between them.

As leaders, we are responsible for defining these operating systems. We define how performing our organizations operate. In this discussion round, we discuss what it needs to set up smart operating systems as the foundation of well-performing teams. Wilfried is Entrepreneur and Investor. Over the last two decades, he founded and invested in various companies in the field of (renewable) energy.7. Are you afraid of change? - The competitive advantage of building a dynamic organization
01:33:31||Ep. 7In this episode, we wrap our heads around the dynamic capabilities of an organization. We believe that we need organizations that constantly evolve and learn. Ultimately, the value of an organization will be less defined by what output it currently creates and much more by how fast it learns. How can we create such organizations? How can we avoid tapping into the traps of title and hierarchies which often lead to crystallized structures and thus decrease our ability to change and adapt?6.
