How does the future of work look?
In «the future of work», people need to manage more things at the very same time. They have to organize themselves, manage their time, deal with joy and frustration, reorient and motivate themselves every day.
They have to be able to express themselves, they have to understand others in order to achieve results together. That’s quite a lot!
Increased complexity, constant change, digitalization, remote work, increased competition and economic pressure require more flexibility, speed, continuous learning and implementation.
The more work is taken over by machines, the more important the effectiveness of the individual and human-to-human communication will become. This requires a rapid and continuous reskilling and upskilling of soft skills.
Organizational structures are becoming more decentralized and informal, hierarchies are developing into network structures. In this context, the importance of the individual is increasing.
Quickly recognizing individual talents and resources and making optimal use of them will become the decisive success factor for people and organizations.
A new leadership concept is needed that is effective for ALL:
We call it «Zeitgeist» Leadership.
«Zeitgeist» Leadership requires an optimal combination of Self Leadership, Team Leadership and People Leadership. The art is to enable and ensure the three types of leadership on a daily and consistent basis.
We call it «Zeitgeist» Leadership.
Self Leadership
Leadership is no longer only leadership of others, but increasingly leadership of oneself – Self Leadership.
Self Leadership has become number one skill and will be essential for the success of people and organizations in the future. Only those who can lead themselves are productive and happy. They are able to lead their team members and employees: Self Leadership, Team Leadership, People Leadership. Everything starts with the individual, everything starts with Self Leadership!
Team Leadership
For a team or a community to be successful, it needs mutual and individual support, because nobody wins alone.
Like a top-class sports team, where team members proactively support each other, Team Leadership leads to extraordinary success in organizations.
People Leadership
Probably one of the most challenging tasks to be found is People Leadership – the individual leading of people. Self Leadership is the decisive basis here as well.
The optimal combination of all three types of leadership will become an essential success factor in the “future of work”.
