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 constantly changing – often dramatically so and at an incredible speed. This urges 21st century executives to build the skills for developing, around themselves, an ATMOSPHERE of full-hearted, enjoyable performance. One that:

  • Transports corporate humans into a powerful pro-performance mode, including precious representatives of Generation Z!  That’s a mode which enables “stress” to have a number of positive, even exciting components.
  • Skillfully balances (1) productive competitiveness with (2) intelligent cohesion – in both key individuals and within business units.
  • Contributes to a role model cooperation among top executives that everyone else in the organization can learn from – simply by seeing (directly, with their own eyes).
  • Contains intelligent, constructive friction – one that adds to the wealth of intellectual viewpoints.
  • As a result of all the above executives help turn organizations and divisions into effective magnets for the most promising leadership talent.

Prominent U.S. and European organizations have experienced over many years that the above described ‘climate’ can be successfully implemented with the wealth of know-how that Lauda Leadership Dynamics brings to the table.

Lauda Leadership Dynamics (hereafter ‘Lauda’) is a knowledge company dedicated to solving crucial, real-life leadership issues. We relish complexity. We decipher the status quo and desirable future states deeper than most others. On this platform the various elements of our people skillset can practically propel the further development of already highly capable 21st century leaders toward new levels. Our work has a double focus – on  (1) individual executives and (2) simultaneously on the dynamics in leadership teams and circles. Here Lauda offers:

A true coaching guru.Darrell Brown, President & EVP, Global Industrial, Ecolab Inc.

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.
