The Path to Execution Power

The Move Leadership Execution System is not a rigid program.

It is a leadership system that helps organizations create clarity, anchor responsibility and accelerate execution.


The entry into the collaboration usually follows a clear journey:

Understand → Activate → Anchor

CLARITY SESSION | EXECUTION SPRINT | EXECUTION PARTNERSHIP


In addition, depending on the situation of the organization, different formats are used to specifically strengthen leadership, collaboration and execution power.

These include, among others, Leadership Journeys, mentoring and coaching for leaders, impulse workshops, keynotes or temporary embedded support.

The Entry – Every Change Begins with Clarity

The path to becoming an MVP manager

A focused strategy conversation with the CEO or executive leadership. In the Move Leadership Execution Clarity Session, we jointly analyze the decisive levers for effective leadership and execution in your organization.


We look at four central perspectives of the Leadership Execution System™:


Alignment – Direction & Energy
Strategic focus, purpose clarity and the question:
What is the organization really aligned with?


Structure – Decision & Role Architecture
How clearly are decision spaces, responsibilities and governance defined?


Skills – Decision and Leadership Competence
Are leaders and teams able to take responsibility and make decisions?


Execution – Activation in Everyday Operations
How consistently are initiatives, decisions and priorities actually implemented?


Goal: Gain clarity about the decisive bottlenecks of the organization.

Result: Clarity about the most important bottlenecks of the organization.

Context:

In an intensely competitive and uncertain economic climate, it is essential for companies to identify their most promising leadership talents and develop them in a targeted manner in order to put them on the path to becoming top executives. Faced with the challenges of modern working models, increased employee mobility and skills shortages, the optimal filling of key positions is more crucial than ever.


The challenge:

Identifying and properly developing leadership talent in organizations is a critical task, especially when studies show that 20 to 30 percent of critical roles are not filled by the most suitable individuals. This gap needs to be closed in order to increase organizational performance and innovative strength.


Solution and implementation:

My specialized development program supports leadership talents in expanding their skills and developing into outstanding leaders:


  • Talent identification: targeted assessments are used to identify the leadership talent with the greatest potential within the organization.
  • Targeted development plans: An individual development plan is created for each talent, focusing on their specific strengths and development areas.
  • Leadership training: Talents undergo intensive training that teaches modern leadership methods, strategic thinking and effective communication.
  • Individual coaching: I accompany the talents through regular coaching, offer them feedback and support and thus promote their development.
  • Practical challenges: The talents take on increasing responsibility in real projects to demonstrate and hone their leadership skills.

Result: The implementation of this program leads to several positive results:

  • Accelerated career development: leadership talent develops more quickly into effective leaders capable of making significant contributions to organizational success.
  • Optimal talent utilization: The organization can ensure that its critical roles are filled with the most appropriate talent, which increases overall performance.
  • Increasing employee retention: By investing in their development, talent feels valued and commits to the organization for the long term.
  • Strengthening the leadership culture: The promoted talent contributes significantly to a culture of excellence, innovation and sustainable leadership.

Conclusion: The targeted development of leadership talent is a decisive factor for the long-term success and competitiveness of a company. This program offers a structured approach to effectively prepare talented individuals for their role as future leaders and support them on their way to the top.

Conflicts between founders or management and investors

Context: In the dynamic world of start-ups and companies, the relationship between founders/management and investors is critical to success. When disputes arise between these parties, management faces a number of challenges that can affect not only the business, but also personal well-being. Challenges:



  • Loss of trust: conflicts with investors can lead to a significant loss of trust, both internally within the team and externally with partners and customers.
  • Stress and pressure: Disputes create additional stress and pressure, which can affect decision-making and strategic planning.
  • Communication problems: Misunderstandings and differing expectations can make communication between everyone involved more difficult.
  • Loss of focus: Disputes distract from the company's actual goals and can affect the company's operational performance and growth.

At such times, it is crucial for management partners and investors to seek professional support in order to find constructive solutions and maintain personal and corporate integrity. An objective view from the outside through coaching and mediation can help to overcome the challenges and create a basis for renewed, effective collaboration. For a personal exchange on my experience on this topic, I cordially invite you to contact me directly. Together we can explore the aspects relevant to you in greater depth and find individual solutions.

How Organizations Develop Execution Power – The Activation Formats Depending on the situation, different formats are used to strengthen responsibility, accelerate decisions and make collaboration effective.

Context: In a company where innovation and rapid growth are the order of the day, tensions can easily arise between the founders and their management colleagues. Such tensions can affect leadership effectiveness and often have reciprocal effects that need to be considered from the perspective of both the managing partner and the founder. Challenges from the perspective of the managing partner:


  • Mutual distrust: Trust between the founder and the managing partner can erode, making collaboration more difficult.
  • Disagreement on the company vision: Differing views on the future of the company can lead to strategic conflicts.
  • Communication breakdowns: Misunderstandings and differing expectations can hamper communication between everyone involved.
  • Stress due to disagreements: Constant disagreements can lead to increased stress levels, which can affect work performance, decision making and strategic planning.
  • Impaired leadership ability: The ability to lead and inspire teams can suffer from tensions, affecting overall business performance.


Challenges from the founder's perspective:


  • Responsibility for the relationship: as a founding member, the founder has a particular responsibility to maintain a productive relationship with fellow directors.
  • Protecting the corporate culture: Conflicts at the top can have a negative impact on the corporate culture, which is of particular concern to the founder.
  • Protecting the company's interests: The founder must prioritize the interests of the company over personal or interpersonal differences.
  • Preserving authority: The founder must ensure that their role and authority in the company is not undermined by internal disputes.
  • Managing investor relations: Conflicts can also jeopardize relationships with investors, whose trust is essential to the founder.


The reciprocal nature of these challenges requires an inclusive approach to conflict resolution that takes into account the perspectives of all parties involved. Through open dialogue, mediation and coaching, founders and management partners can work together to develop solutions that stabilize the relationship, improve management effectiveness and ultimately benefit the entire company. For a personal exchange on my experience on this topic, I cordially invite you to contact me directly.

Chances-Clarity-Compass Framework to foster adaptive business dynamics and create a company culture that meets change with openness and clarity.


Your Wake-Up Call as a Leader

Imagine walking into your office and sensing dissatisfaction. 73 million people in Germany have quit internally, 86% of employees feel emotionally disconnected from their company. But there’s a better way: Employees full of energy, seeing challenges as opportunities and sharing responsibility.

How do you create this transformation?


The Opportunity to Create a Vibrant Company Culture

In a dynamic world, business operations alone are not enough. Companies need to build a culture that shapes the future, with adaptability, responsibility, and clarity. One of the greatest opportunities and challenges is turning the productivity potential unlocked by AI into real competitive advantages. Yet, only 15% of employees are willing to embrace change positively.


The Chances-Clarity-Compass Framework helps view change as an opportunity for growth:

1.    Serendipity Skills: The ability to see the unexpected as an opportunity.

2.    Clarity Toolbox: Structures that promote flexibility and personal responsibility.

3.    Purpose-Driven Vision: A clearly defined “Why” that provides emotional drive.


The Serendipity Mindset: Recognizing Opportunities

Imagine your team sees every change as an opportunity for growth. The Serendipity Mindset fosters this openness. However, only 41% of employees feel prepared for change. Your task: Encourage curiosity, reward bold decisions, and embrace uncertainty as a learning opportunity. This way, your employees become pioneers of progress.


Clarity Toolbox: Clarity Enables Action

Support Leadership Transitions & Succession

Anchor Responsibility in a Stable Way

Leadership transitions are among the most sensitive moments in organizations. Especially during generational changes or shifts within the leadership team, uncertainty and decision blockages often arise.

The approach focuses on four levers:


Alignment
Clarifying the new leadership role and strategic orientation.

Structure
Defining clear responsibilities and decision spaces.

Skills
Strengthening leaders in their new role.


Performance Activation
Stabilizing collaboration in everyday operations.

Goal: Anchor responsibility within the company and stabilize leadership.

The result after just a few months:

  • Faster decisions
  • Less reverse delegation to executive management
  • More courage within the leadership team
  • More clarity within the teams
  • Noticeably more energy

Context: As the company grows, the founding team of a start-up decides to introduce holacracy in order to increase agility and innovation. However, unexpected difficulties arise when implementing this progressive form of organization, as employees struggle with the self-organized structures and the assumption of responsibility.


Challenge: The transition to holacracy is proving to be more complex than expected. Employees feel overwhelmed by the new freedoms and expected initiative, leading to confusion and loss of productivity.


Solution:

My commitment as a consultant and coach ensures an effective transition and rapid integration of managers into the holocratic culture of the start-up, minimizes the risk of implementation difficulties and transforms initial challenges into growth opportunities, so that managers quickly develop into key figures in the company's progress and thus make an essential contribution to the sustainable success of the start-up.



Implementation:

Structural analysis and optimization: First, I conduct an in-depth analysis to understand exactly where the specific challenges and resistance lie. I observe the interactions within the team, conduct interviews and workshops to identify concerns and assess the willingness to adopt the new ways of working.


Training and mentoring: Based on the insights gained, I develop tailored training and development programs that not only provide employees with the theoretical knowledge of Holacracy, but also demonstrate practical applications and benefits. The aim is to create a sound understanding of the principles of self-organization and responsibility.


Conflict resolution: My support includes targeted conflict resolution to efficiently clarify and resolve misunderstandings and conflicts that arise during the critical implementation phase, thereby promoting constructive cooperation and a positive dynamic within the team.


Support during implementation: I actively accompany the teams during the first steps of Holacracy implementation. I act as a point of contact for all questions and uncertainties and support the implementation of holacratic decision-making and circular structures. Through regular check-ins and adjustment loops, I ensure that the implementation stays on track.


Establish feedback loops: To ensure continuous improvement and adaptation, I implement clear feedback structures that allow employees to contribute their experiences and suggestions. This not only promotes acceptance of the holacracy, but also a feeling of appreciation and involvement.


Strengthening key people: I pay particular attention to coaching key people in order to strengthen them in their new role within the holocratic structure. They learn how to effectively facilitate teams, promote empowerment and act as mentors.


Result: Thanks to my targeted measures, the introduction of holacracy in the start-up is a success. The employees understand and appreciate the new structures, feel empowered and actively contribute to the company's agility and ability to innovate. The founding team can rest assured that the holacratic transformation will have lasting positive effects for the company.

Leader Coaching & Executive Sparring

Reflect on leadership – Strengthen decisions

Leadership means making decisions under uncertainty and taking responsibility. In individual Leader Coaching& Mentoring, I support leaders, entrepreneurs and executives as a sparring partner in complex business, leadership and decision-making questions.

The focus is not on theoretical models, but on concrete situations from everyday leadership practice.


Alignment
Clarifying one’s own leadership role, sharpening the personal vision and gaining orientation in complex situations.


Structure
Clarifying responsibilities, using decision spaces and shaping leadership effectively.


Skills
Strengthening self-leadership, communication, conflict capability and confident decision-making.


Performance Activation
Setting priorities, driving initiatives forward and creating impact within the team.


Goal: Leaders gain clarity, confidence and impact in their role.

Context: The management of a medium-sized company is facing an unexpected challenge: one of its key executives, the head of the sales department, has unexpectedly resigned and is moving to a direct competitor. This loss occurs at a critical time, in the middle of the implementation of an important market expansion strategy that is essential for the company's growth. The need for a quick but thoughtful transition solution becomes apparent to avoid disruption and maintain team morale.


Challenge:

The sudden vacancy carries the risk of a drop in sales, loss of market share and demotivation in the team. The managing director must find a quick solution to close the management gap without jeopardizing the long-term strategic direction of the company.




Solution:

As an interim manager with extensive experience in change management and specialized expertise in leadership transitions, I take on the role of the vacant executive. My first task is to conduct a comprehensive situation analysis to understand the immediate needs of the sales department and the associated risks.




Implementation:


  • Stabilization of the team: I interact directly with the sales team to build trust, address uncertainties and boost morale.
  • Continuation of key projects: I ensure that all ongoing projects continue to progress effectively, identify critical success factors and monitor performance.
  • Strategic realignment: By analyzing the current situation, I identify opportunities for process improvements and initiate appropriate measures to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the department.
  • Support in the management search: I work closely with the Managing Director and HR to create a detailed profile for the new manager and provide support during the selection process.
  • Supporting the onboarding process: I work closely with the HR department and support the onboarding process, mentoring and coaching the new manager for the first 100 days to ensure a seamless integration.

Result: The quick and professional intervention enables the company to survive the transition phase without significant losses. The sales team remains motivated and focused, important projects continue to be successfully implemented and the foundation is laid for the integration of the new manager. The management can continue to concentrate on the overall strategy while I, as interim manager, ensure the stability and continuity of the sales department. The transition is used not just as an emergency solution, but as an opportunity for positive change and new impetus

Leadership Journeys

Develop leadership – Strengthen execution power

Leadership Journeys combine modern leadership development with concrete implementation in everyday work.


In blended learning formats, leaders are supported over several months and gradually develop their decision-making and leadership competence.

Blended Learning Leadership Journeys combine digital learning with personal training and offer the perfect solution.

Through regular exchange with Prof. Dr. Flemming Hansen, I integrate the latest scientific findings and psychological approaches into Leadership Journeys that I individually design for companies.



Prof. Dr. Hansen:
“Blended learning is not only the key strategy for modern leadership, but is becoming even more important with the disruptive changes driven by digitalization and artificial intelligence. Those who do not continuously learn today will fall behind tomorrow.”


The approach combines:

  • digital learning nuggets and microlearning
  • interactive live sessions and workshops
  • coaching and sparring for leaders
  • concrete implementation in everyday work
  • This creates not an isolated training, but development directly within the real business context.


Typical Content of a Leadership Journey

Leadership Journeys are based on the four levers of the Leadership Execution System:


Alignment – Direction & Energy
Strategic focus, purpose clarity and orientation in complex situations.


Structure – Decision & Role Architecture
Clarifying responsibility, understanding decision spaces and using them effectively.


Skills – Decision & Leadership Power
Self-leadership, communication, conflict capability and decision strength.


Performance Activation – Execution in Everyday Operations
Taking responsibility, consistent implementation of initiatives and responsibility within the team.


Goal: Leaders develop clarity, responsibility and execution power.

  • practice-oriented leadership impulses
  • individual coaching sessions
  • digital learning platform and community
  • direct implementation in everyday work


Participants not only develop leadership skills, but also self-clarity, orientation and confidence in their role.

Context:

A start-up in the technology sector is experiencing explosive growth and faces the challenge of continuously integrating new leaders to guide the company through its critical growth phase. These leaders must adapt quickly and are faced with typical start-up challenges: constantly changing roles, unclear processes, high expectations for immediate results and the need to quickly build and lead a high-performing team.


Challenges for new start-up leaders:

  • Adapting to the dynamic start-up culture: rapid growth and constant change require flexibility and the ability to perform under pressure.
  • Team leadership and development: Building a cohesive team that shares the start-up's vision and works together effectively.
  • Fast decision making: In a fast-paced environment, leaders must be able to make decisions quickly and effectively.
  • Expectation management: Matching the high expectations of the founders with the real conditions and opportunities.


Solution:

My involvement as a consultant and coach ensures that managers not only survive, but thrive in the critical early stages of a start-up. Through my support, the risk of false starts is minimized and leaders can quickly develop into key drivers of business success. Investing in professional coaching and mentoring is therefore a crucial factor in the sustainable growth and success of the start-up.


Implementation:

As an accomplished consultant and coach with solid experience as a managing director in a founding team, I offer a specialized performance program for the first 100 days to optimally support new managers:


1. Individualized support: I offer tailored coaching and mentoring, based on my experience as a certified coach and former CEO, to empower leaders in their new role.


2. performance program: The program focuses on rapid integration, effective team leadership, decision making and strategic planning to prepare leaders to make a positive impact quickly.


3. bridge between founders and executives: As a neutral facilitator, I support dialog and understanding between the founders and new leaders, which reduces misunderstandings and promotes clear direction.


4. result-oriented development: The coaching is designed to ensure that the managers make significant progress within the first 100 days and thus contribute to the rapid growth and success of the start-up.


Result:

The specialized performance program enables the new leaders to more quickly fulfill their role in the start-up, build effective teams and contribute to the company's momentum and growth. The founders benefit from the relief in the area of leadership integration and can concentrate on their core competencies, while the managers are empowered to quickly generate added value.

Impulses, Workshops & Keynotes

„The feedback from the team was exceptionally positive!

Many described the impulse as one of the strongest external talks in recent times – very approachable, extremely interactive and with a fine sense for truly engaging people.“

Merle Knebel

Transformation Manager, GEMA 

Impulses, Workshops & Keynotes

Impulses that create clarity – and make execution possible 

Change often begins with a new perspective on collaboration, responsibility and decisions. My workshops and keynotes combine personal experiences from growth, transformation and crisis situations with systemic thinking and practical tools for everyday work.


It is not about theoretical models, but about impulses that help people think more clearly, make bolder decisions and take responsibility.

In this way, movement emerges within the team and new energy for implementing important topics is created.

LEADERSHIP CARE - Explore new Horizons

For managers, a balance between professional performance and personal health is crucial and an organization is only as resilient as its employees. It is becoming increasingly important for organizations to promote wellbeing, connectedness and authenticity in the workplace. Leaders must take the lead in this regard. They must have the courage and humility to embrace a permanent "explore new horizons" mindset. It starts with leaders being aware of their own strengths, weaknesses and values, especially under stress, and developing strategies to overcome their fears and limitations.With this self-awareness, leaders are better equipped to harness their passions, renew their energy and help others reach their full potential and that of their organizations.

Change & Crises Management & Decision Making

In today's uncertain business environment, the disconnect between existing operating models and market realities is becoming increasingly apparent. Companies are faced with profitability challenges that have become increasingly pressing over the last three years, which has significantly narrowed the margin for tolerance and error


Although it is widely perceived that organizations are not reaching their full potential despite having ample resources, few have successfully overcome the challenges. Effective transformation is crucial and involves both overhauling the fundamentals of how work is done and taking a leap forward, particularly in putting decision-making freedoms back into the hands of employees.

GETTING THINGS DONE

Interims- und Nachfolge Support

The stability of the management team is of crucial importance. When management positions are vacant, every minute counts. The immediate consequence is a management vacuum. Managers play a central role in setting goals, motivating the team and managing day-to-day operations. Without a clear leader, decision-making processes can stall, the team's direction and priorities can become unclear, and productivity can drop.


Operational continuity can be affected, especially if the outgoing leader has led key projects or critical business processes. Their absence can lead to delays, miscommunication and even the loss of important institutional knowledge. Executives play a crucial role in shaping a company's culture and values. Their departure can change the corporate culture and, depending on the circumstances of their resignation, contribute to uncertainty or demotivation. Other managers or team members often have to step in to fill the gap. This can lead to overwork and divert attention away from their actual tasks, increasing the risk of burnout and loss of productivity. The search for a suitable successor is usually very time-consuming and costly, and as an experienced manager, I offer the opportunity to ensure seamless leadership transitions in companies.


During the search for new leaders, I effectively guide critical business units and their teams to minimize risk, stabilize teams and ensure the continuity of their important projects. Despite the challenges, the vacancy also provides an opportunity for reassessment and possible realignment of the department concerned. My support can bring fresh perspectives, energy and ideas that contribute to transformation and improvement. I analyze, implement preparatory structures and initiate decisive measures that enable a smooth integration of the new manager and thus ensure a seamless transition.


I also actively assist with candidate selection and smooth onboarding support for the first 100 days to ensure an efficient transition. With the experience and perspective of a CEO, I know what is important in these key process steps, allowing business leaders to focus on their core tasks while I ensure the stability and efficiency of the leadership team. A quick, effective analysis of existing structures, followed by targeted measures, can be crucial to ensure the success of the company. Let's work together to ensure that leadership transitions guarantee stability and continuity, reduce uncertainty and promote positive dynamics during the change process.
