Leading the Best. Mastering
Co-Intelligence. Managing Friction.

These are three essential concerns of today’s corporate leaders. And three areas of profound expertise that we have built and refined over time through our corporate assignments in three continents.  “We” is Lauda Leadership Dynamics – in short LAUDA. We are a knowledge company dedicated to solving crucial, real-life leadership issues with winning sincerity and skillful enthusiasm.

21st century business requires executive skills for swiftly building work atmospheres that:

  1. Enable exciting, life-affirmative work dynamics – even when things are quite intense or “stressful”.
  2. Promote intelligent, inclusive friction that constructively adds to the wealth of overall viewpoints and solutions.
  3. Skillfully balance  (1) productive, internal competitiveness with  (2)  intelligent cohesion.
  4. Provide a visible and tangible culture of executive collaboration that enables the very best in leaders, in their teams and eventually in their business results.
  5. Aptly consider Generation Z’s mindset.
  6. Turn an organization into an effective magnet for the most promising leadership talent.

Over many years leaders and executive teams of prominent, primarily U.S. and European organizations have received essential stimulation through LAUDA’s body of knowledge. Our determination is to upgrade by a few decisive notches our clients’ skills in LEADING THE BEST. “The best” being individuals and teams that are a golden part of an organization’s assets.

I have worked with many executive coaches over the last 20 years. Many of these coaches have been good. Tom Lauda however, is simply great. In his unique and very pleasant way, Tom quickly gains deep understanding of one-of-a kind individuals. He will then fully engage with the person and their environment for actual development and effective resolution of issues.Anton de Kock, VP HR EMEA, Ecolab
