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

These are three essential concerns of top executives today. In our notoriously competitive age rules by which leadership, business and people’s lives function are changing dynamically. 21st century business urges executives to build an enjoyable (yes, enjoyable) performance atmoshphere that:

  • Skillfully balances (1) productive competitiveness with (2) intelligent cohesion within an organization.
  • Is open for intelligent, inclusive friction – one that constructively adds to the wealth of intellectual viewpoints.
  • Enables positive, exciting work dynamics – even in the midst of professional “stress”.
  • Is inclusive of Generation Z.
  • Contributes to an intelligent, role model cooperation among top executives – tangible and visible to everyone.
  • Helps turn the organization into effective magnets for the most promising leadership talent.

Over many years prominent U.S. and European organizations have experienced the realization of such a conducive atmosphere with the know-how of Lauda Leadership Dynamics (in short “Lauda“).  Lauda is a knowledge company dedicated to solving crucial, real-life leadership issues. And enthusiastically dedicated to supporting executives in the skills for leading the best – the most promising pillars of knowledge, executive talent and high-potentials.

And what can shift undesirable circumstances in leadership circles into more productive ones. Our double focus is on implementing (1) individualized pathways for genuine professional growth in 21st century executives. And in modes attune to and true to a person’s unique mental-emotional-relational vitality as well as their hard skills.  (2)  How such growth paths in a few individuals can translate onto the most promising performance dynamics in a specific leadership team (or the teams reporting to top executives. New relationship dynamics are key.
