We work with the 8-step model from the book Leading with and without Ego, which is divided into three phases.
In each phase, the focus is on yourself, because this is where your influence lies. Your actions and inactions, decisions and indecisions, shape your behavior and determine the direction.
It takes courage to look at yourself and accept what you see. Only by understanding your own role can you effectively lead.
To gain a complete picture, you also need to look at how others perceive you. This gives valuable insights and helps you better understand where your influence truly lies.”
5. I develop mature relationships (and remain mature myself).
6. I provide individuals with a safe and challenging context.
7. I provide teams with a safe and challenging context.
8. I promote a work structure in which people can learn and perform.
Dit kan resulteren in afdelingen die goed presteren, maar niet op elkaar zijn afgestemd en niet de gewenste resultaten voor de klant opleveren.
Je kan hier op leeglopen en je machteloos over voelen, omdat je de ander niet kan veranderen.
Dit is vaak niet hetzelfde als wat de organisatie nodig heeft. ‘Doen wat je baas verwacht’ beperkt je gevoel van eigenaarschap en daarmee je bevlogenheid.
In tijden van onzekerheid neemt het reptielen- en zoogdierenbrein het over en schakelt de dan juist cruciale rationele vaardigheden uit, zoals beslissingen nemen, problemen oplossen en samenwerken.
Deze angst blokkeert vaak een doorbraak in de prestatie van het team.
Dit kan leiden tot misplaatst zelfvertrouwen, als je niet eerlijk bent over je zwaktes doet dat afbreuk aan je geloofwaardigheid.
Alfred, co-author of Leading with and without Ego, has decades of experience in leadership training and guiding performance improvements within organizations. In addition to his executive experience, he has developed and led strategic development programs for the top management of companies. Stefanie is an expert in addressing stress and burnout in organizations and has extensive experience in experiential learning, where participants learn not only with their minds but also through deep learning experiences by engaging their bodies.
Together, they are not a traditional consultancy. They are clear, bold, and stand by your side. They offer a personal and efficient approach that saves you time: you always have direct contact with them. Due to a smart structure of staying small, they are extremely flexible.
Het boek Leidinggeven met en zonder Ego, geschreven door Paul van Schaik, Alfred Schmits, en Dennis Stout ligt sinds oktober in de schappen. Dit boek biedt niet alleen de tools om je ego in balans te houden, maar ook om te leren wanneer het nodig is om je ego los te laten, zodat je de ander kunt ondersteunen in zijn of haar groei.
Met de trainingen van Stefanie van Boekel zorgen we dat je die stappen echt doorloopt en dat bovenstaande je lukt.
I’d love to hear from you. Here are a few ways to get in touch.
