New Work and New Leadership<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Our ever-changing world of work presents today’s leaders with the challenge of having to adapt their skills and leadership styles to new circumstances. What are the characteristics and behaviors of successful leaders in the World of Work 4.0? At troodi we have identified six leadership principles that we believe are particularly important in the context of New Leadership. <\/p>\n

Leadership skills<\/keywordmarkbgy> in the New Leadership approach<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

1. Handing over responsibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Leadership means flat hierarchies and each individual taking on responsibility. This means that as a New Leader, the first and most important step is to learn to hand over responsibility for tasks and processes to your team. Sounds logical, but it is not always easy. It takes trust and courage. But simply handing over responsibility is not enough. It is just as important to establish decision-making structures that make it easy for employees to take responsibility for the company. Decisions are no longer only made hierarchically by managers. <\/p>\n

2. Focus on people<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leadership in New Work means a shift from being responsible for the content to coaching your employees:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

The focus is on empowering your team members, being available to them as a sparring partner and creating the framework conditions in which your team can be successful. According to New Leadership, leaders should interact with their employees in a physiologically skilled way and challenge and encourage their individual potential. The \u201csoft factors\u201d of leadership are therefore increasingly important. <\/p>\n

3. Company culture and defining a purpose<\/h3>\n

The core idea of New Work is to do what you really, really want (Frithjof Bergmann). Consequently, it is a central task of the leader to communicate the meaning and purpose of the team\u2019s activities and with this inspire and motivate their team. This applies on a large scale as well as on a small scale: As a leader, you are the first ambassador for the purpose of your organization and a role model for the values of your organization \u2013 authenticity is crucial here.<\/span> Furthermore, it is also your responsibility to derive specific goals from the corporate vision for your team and to bring them to life together in your day-to-day work. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Embrace Change as opportunity<\/h3>\n

In times of major disruptions, nothing is as certain as change. Thus, managers need a high level of change intelligence and an understanding of change management in order to react quickly to changes. But it is not enough to accompany or manage change. A mindset that accepts change as an opportunity for innovation and continuous improvement of the organization is essential \u2013<\/span> in other words, a positive attitude towards change. This perspective and adaptability must also be carried into the organization by managers. <\/p>\n

5. Desire for development<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to live change, change needs to happen within yourself. Reflecting on your own leadership actions and the desire for personal development are central qualities in New Leadership. As a leader, this desire for development applies not only to you, but also to your team and the whole organization. How can you make your employees, your team, and your organization a little bit better every day? <\/p>\n

6. Encourage collaboration & communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”7px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

In New Leadership it is a central task to facilitate transparent communication and collaboration within the team and across different teams. You are no longer the sole decision-maker, but a facilitator of internal and external communication. You are a coach, mediator, and obstacle-clearer all in one. This is particularly relevant in the context of digital leadership in order to enable efficient collaboration even in remote teams. <\/p>\n

New Leadership in organizations<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.26.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Leadership skills<\/keywordmarkbgy> in times of New Work differ from traditional leadership. These six principles only highlight one part of the various demands a leader faces and each person has to find their individual leadership style. However, it should be noted that a leader in New Work acts primarily as a Servant Leader who serves the team. They bear less responsibility for operational tasks and focus on people and their interactions. Thus, modern leadership does neither become less important nor disappear altogether, but rather shifts its focus and becomes more significant and demanding in many facets. Overall, the New Leadership or Leadership 4.0 concept is about creating a working environment in which innovation, creativity, and personal development are encouraged. The benefits of New Leadership range from increased productivity and adaptability to more satisfied team members and improved retention. <\/p>\n
