EDGE 1:1

You’ve led successfully for years. And yet one situation won’t move.

EDGE brings in the perspectives of three people who experience you as a leader. You choose your focus, try out a change in your daily work, and we review what it has done.

More than 25 years of leadership development, with more than 20,000 leaders in 25 countries.

Where it gets stuck

Perhaps you know one of these moments.

Your company has grown, yet almost every important decision still lands on your desk. You hired leaders to take on more. So far, they haven’t.

You’re having the same conversation with the same person for the third time. Both of you mean it, and nothing changes.

A handover is coming, to the next generation or to a new managing director. How to let go without something breaking is still an open question.

Under pressure, you reach for what used to work. You can tell it isn’t enough this time, and you don’t yet have another way.

This rarely has anything to do with poor leadership. More often the situation has changed, and at this point your existing repertoire no longer reaches far enough. I call this point the developmental edge.

EDGE 1:1

Other people’s view, and a step in daily work.

A lot can be seen from where you stand. Some questions your own view can’t answer. How do the people you work with experience your behaviour? What should stay, and where does friction arise? And does a new approach hold up when day-to-day pressure rises?

EDGE is an accompanied process over several weeks. You gather the perspectives of three people who experience you as a leader, choose your focus and try out a change in your day-to-day work. At the end we look together at what has actually changed.

  1. Intro call, 20 minutes. We clarify whether EDGE suits your situation.
  2. A short written intake.
  3. Working session, 90 minutes. We sharpen the situation and your focus.
  4. Feedback from three people you choose. They answer three open questions: what should stay, where friction arises and which change would make a difference. Beforehand we agree who will see their answers.
  5. Feedforward. Once you’ve chosen your focus, we ask the same three people how they would recognise a change.
  6. A practice phase of two to four weeks. You put a concrete step into practice in your daily work.
  7. Review, 60 minutes, with a written summary. We look at what happened and what follows from it.

There are no scores and no typologies. Three honest perspectives are enough to see what actually lands in everyday work.

20 minutes, no obligation. We’ll see whether EDGE is the right fit for your situation.

MIRROR

When a clear picture is enough for now.

In the middle of a difficult situation, you lose distance. MIRROR gives it back.

You answer five open questions in writing about a specific leadership or business situation. It takes about 20 minutes. I read your answers myself and write you a situation report. It sets out what stands out to me, what seems to repeat, what lies within your influence and which question is worth resolving now.

You receive the report two to three days before our conversation. In 30 minutes we test it together, correct what doesn’t fit and agree on your next step.

What you get is a reasoned working hypothesis about your situation. There’s no diagnosis and no personality test involved.

  • Five open questions, in writing, about 20 minutes
  • A personal situation report, written by me
  • A 30-minute conversation

After your request you’ll receive an invoice. I’ll send you the questions once payment has arrived. If you decide on EDGE within eight weeks, the €450 is credited in full.

EDGE Team Lab

When the issue lies in the interplay.

Sometimes the bottleneck isn’t a single person. Decisions get stuck between management and the next level down, or a leadership team has to navigate a transition together for which the old routines no longer suffice. That’s when I work with the team. I design each Team Lab for the specific situation, which is why it can’t be booked online. It starts with a 30-minute briefing.

How I work

What sets this apart from leadership training.

Good training teaches tools that suit many leaders, and that has its value. MIRROR and EDGE start from your situation, your company and the people you work with. There’s no standard assessment here and no programme that runs the same for everyone. And unlike a single coaching session, EDGE only ends once a change has been tried out in everyday work and reviewed.

I work with generative dialogue, a method in four steps.

  • Letting go. Stepping back from the familiar explanations.
  • Connecting. Bringing your view into contact with other people’s views and with your business.
  • Recognising. Seeing what repeats and where the most effective point of leverage lies.
  • Shaping. Choosing a step, taking it and reviewing it.

Who this is for.

You run a company or hold responsibility in its management. You have a specific situation in mind in which your usual answers no longer work. And you’re willing to have your own view tested and to try something new in your daily work. MIRROR and EDGE are offered to businesses only, and the invoice goes to your company. I don’t accept requests from private individuals. My terms for businesses apply (in German).

If you’re looking for a ready-made method or a personality score, you’ll be better served elsewhere. MIRROR and EDGE are also not the right format in an acute personal crisis.

Prices, VAT and terms.

All prices are net prices for business clients. For clients in Germany, German VAT is added. For business clients in other EU countries with a valid VAT ID, no German VAT is charged, and you account for VAT under the reverse-charge mechanism. For business clients outside the EU, for example in the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the service is generally not subject to German VAT, and your local rules apply.

My terms for businesses are available in German, and the German version prevails. In short: your booking is a contract between your company and me. You can cancel MIRROR free of charge until you submit the intake. Appointments can be moved free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. EDGE can be cancelled free of charge up to 14 days before the first working session.

Ready to see your leadership from the outside?

EDGE adds other people’s perspectives and supports the change in your daily work until it has been reviewed. In a 20-minute intro call we find out whether that fits your situation. You don’t need to do MIRROR first.
