Seminar Lateral leadership
Managing successfully without hierarchical authority
Constellations often arise in everyday life in which employees assume leadership responsibility for several colleagues without a formal supervisor function. Natural authority, respect and recognition help to master this task. Those who manage to motivate colleagues to take on responsibility, support them as team members and also deal with resistance, lead their team with motivation to achieve top performance. You will gain insights into current AI-supported methods that can promote self-reflection and specifically strengthen your informal leadership role. We present the latest AI-supported methods that help you recognize communication patterns in virtual teams, effectively manage remote teams, and optimize collaboration in a targeted manner.
