Under this pressure, leadership quickly shifts toward more directives, more control, and more top-down decision-making. This can feel effective short-term but in the long run, people think less for themselves and take on less responsibility. Ultimately, this weakens the team\u2019s capacity for innovation.   <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, leaders themselves are part of this uncertainty \u2013 this becomes clear, for example, when it comes to AI. Many know they need to engage with it, but wait until they feel technically \u201cready,\u201d instead of shaping the learning process together with their team.<\/p>\n<p>To sum it up, the core challenge is this: providing orientation without slipping into micromanagement. In other words, designing frameworks and processes in a way that allows teams to remain accountable even in times of crisis \u2013 and, to put it bluntly, to truly use \u201ceveryone\u2019s brains.\u201d That requires less of the doer reflex at the top and more of an enabler mindset: someone who steers the process thoughtfully and involves the team in a serious and meaningful way.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;40px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>The survey shows that leadership topics continue to be among the most frequently requested learning areas. The demand for leadership competencies is therefore high, especially in volatile times. If top-down leadership is not a sustainable solution, what competencies do leaders need in the face of these challenges?  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]I believe that focusing solely on the question \u201ctop-down or not?\u201d does not get us very far \u2013 the key issue is what enables leadership to hold this pressure and uncertainty effectively. For me, there are three core competency areas that are particularly relevant in times like these. <\/p>\n<p>The first is a clear awareness of roles and responsibilities. Under pressure, many leaders slip into the role of the \u201cperson responsible for everything\u201d \u2013 and in doing so, take away exactly the responsibility they actually want to strengthen in their teams. Facilitative leadership, for me, means consciously deciding when I set the framework and direction and when I make space, ask questions, and involve the team in finding solutions.  <\/p>\n<p>The second is process competence: I do not need to have all the answers, but I do need a solid plan to get there \u2013 who is part of it, which steps do we take, and how do we make decisions. When leadership is less about \u201cthe perfect solution\u201d and more about a clearly structured process, teams remain capable of action even when goals or conditions change.<br \/><!-- --> <\/p>\n<p>And third, it requires concrete facilitation and communication skills: structuring conversations so that everyone has a voice, making decisions visible, setting clear agreements, and asking strong questions instead of immediately judging. That may sound simple, but it is often the difference between meetings where everyone waits for instructions and discussions where real thinking and decision-making take place. It is not about leaders becoming professional facilitators, but about having enough facilitation know-how to provide orientation while at the same time strengthening their team\u2019s ownership and responsibility.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many decision-makers initially worry: \u201cIf I lead in a more facilitative way, we will lose speed and clarity.\u201d How do you respond to this concern \u2013 especially given that organizations are under pressure to become more efficient? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]I hear this concern very often \u2013 and I understand it. If we think of \u201cfacilitation\u201d only as long discussions with lots of participation and colorful sticky notes, it can indeed sound like less speed and less clarity at first. In practice, however, I experience the exact opposite: well-facilitated processes speed up decisions and make them clearer. If I take three or four minutes at the beginning of a meeting to clarify the goal, agenda, and roles \u2013 a brief contracting phase \u2013 I save significantly more time later by avoiding loops and misunderstandings.   <\/p>\n<p>What matters to me is this: facilitative leadership does not mean discussing everything with everyone all the time. It means consciously deciding when participation makes sense and when a clear decision is needed. In times of crisis, there may be phases in which I set the framework very clearly \u2013 but I can shape it in a way that keeps the team thinking along and taking responsibility, rather than pushing every decision back to me. That is why I would say facilitative leadership is a highly pragmatic response to efficiency pressure: it helps reach clear decisions faster while involving the team in a way that encourages ownership instead of waiting for the next instruction.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;40px||||false|false&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>So does facilitative leadership actually help increase team performance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]From my perspective, yes \u2013 it does, provided it is practiced seriously. Facilitative leadership is not a soft-skill label for me, but a very specific way of organizing performance within a team without controlling everything through my own role. When people understand what it is about, what contribution is expected from them, and how decisions are made, commitment increases \u2013 and with it the likelihood that things actually get done. In practice, I see teams raising issues earlier, renegotiating decisions less often, and coordinating tasks more clearly among themselves. Of course, this does not relieve me of the responsibility to make unpopular decisions at times, but the path to those decisions is different: the team has been involved, can understand the decision, and is more likely to support implementation rather than holding back internally.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;40px||||false|false&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what role do you see for L&amp;D teams in this field of tension?
