BWI: Further training and support in leadership and project management in complex situations

Supervisors often still favor manageability, order and control for their management style and way of working. In complex situations, however, patterns of order can rarely be maintained - this will be seen even more strongly in the coming months and years as we move more and more into hybrid forms of work. All of these increasing demands can no longer be shouldered by one supervisor alone: what is needed are committed and resilient teams that are moving in the same direction at eye level and in constant open exchange with one another.

The time of the lone wolf leader is over - the collective knowledge of teams is needed

To do this, we need the knowledge, inventiveness and implementation power of everyone: managers and employees alike. Together, we create meaningful options for action and are thus better equipped to find a solution even when the environment once again "turns upside down" and innovative next steps need to be defined.

In order to use this potential and know-how effectively, dialogic leadership is needed: a principle of effective collaboration that enables individuals to act independently in the interests of the whole. This does not mean "Jekami" (everyone can have a say): If everyone contributes their view of things and their feelings, this usually leads to endless discussions. Most of the time, some of them simply give up in frustration and submit to the majority. A sustainable result is never found.

Dialogical leadership as a principle for sustainable joint goal and decision making

However, there are targeted and fast ways to achieve meaningful and viable solutions. For example, if a concrete solution proposal is available, an effective and at the same time efficient solution can be found in the "consenT" process with the help of the integrative objection process, which integrates the existing knowledge as well as concerns and opportunities.

With the Dynamic Facilitation method, very complex issues can be solved: the different backgrounds of experience and ideas for action are put together like individual pieces of a puzzle until finally the "whole solution picture" becomes recognizable. This makes it increasingly clear which interrelationships and dependencies play into each other, where there are resistances and for what there is strong implementation energy. Finally, "the right solution" emerges or - depending on the issue - a set of viable solution approaches.

These are two of the seminars at the BWI consulting and training institute that help organizations, teams and leaders move forward strongly, collaboratively and purposefully in today's world.
