Top Management advisor and speaker Klaus Schweinsberg shows us how this should be done and shares with us his views on which of the top managers in Germany are leading by example.
Several of Europe’s most well known entrepreuneurs and top managers trust Prof Klaus Schweinsberg as personal advisor and coach. With his background as an Economist and Social Scientist he has gained deep insights into how businesses are led in today’s economy, what works well and what doesn’t. His latest book is Decent Leadership instead of Anti-social Management and is published by the German publishing company Herder-Verlag.
Schweinsberg comments that the motivation to write this practical guide on how to lead was because:”People are angry about the degree of failure by company directors/board members in a number of organisations over the last few years. It is apparent that there is a distinct lack of the correct attitide as well as the ability to lead properly.”
In his new book Schweinsberg, who also teaches strategy and economic policy at the General Staff College of the German Armed Forces, gives practical advice in an easily digestable format on how to lead the right way in uncertain times. With the help of numerous examples he shows us that a comprehensive guide to good leadership comprises the following 8 virtues: (clear) intent, (perceptable) authenticity, (professional) agility, (uncompromising) honesty, (concentrated) attentiveness, (broad) attention, (real) abmition and (healthy) stamina.
Professor Schweinsberg concludes: “In times of uncertainty it is imperative to have proper leadership which requires upright posture and professional handling. The 8 virtues to success are an essential and easy to follow guide in uncertain times.”
In his entertaining presentations, Prof Schweinsberg shares his fascinating insights on leadership and understands how to convey complex issue simply and to the point.
