Leadership through appreciation

Leadership is indispensable in organisations. Whilst it is well known that employees’ motivation increases when they feel recognised and valued, this is not always the case in practice.

The annual cost to Germany of unmotivated employees is estimated at over 100 billion euros. A large proportion of this is attributable to a lack of appreciative leadership. Conversely, it is reasonable to assume that an appreciative corporate culture not only boosts staff motivation but also fosters a greater diversity of ideas and a stronger commitment to the job, whilst reducing sick leave and staff turnover.

A better image is also projected to the outside world when employees are in a working environment where they feel at ease. There is therefore a clear, positive link between appreciative leadership and the company’s success.

„We teach “appreciative leadership’ in seminars and in-house workshops with managers.

In these seminars:

• you’ll gain valuable insights to help you in your day-to-day work.
• Identify suggestions for improvement.
• Learn the basics of appreciative leadership and communication.
• Draw up your own personalised action plan.

The seminar leader, Andreas Otterbach, has spent the last few years studying the topic of „appreciative leadership“ in depth, both in theory and in practice.

He is the author of the book *Leading Through Appreciation*, in which he uses numerous examples of „hidden champions“ (smaller global market leaders) to demonstrate how, through appropriate, appreciative leadership, employees have contributed to outstanding corporate success.

It is not only global market leaders who benefit from this knowledge, but also small and medium-sized enterprises. Would you like to be part of it too?
