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 swiftly changing – and often dramatically so. 21st century executives are urged to build new skills for developing an ATMOSPHERE of full-hearted, enjoyable performance under such circumstances. 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. Faster and deeper than most others we understand what constitutes a status quo that we’re assigned to change, and what holds it in place. The double focus of our work is on  (1) individual executives and sometimes simultaneously (2)  on the dynamics in leadership circles and -teams. 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.
