Leading at the Top: A Unique Challenge
Leadership at the top comes with its own set of challenges. Often, obligations to committees, packed schedules, and urgent matters obscure the clear view of the "big points." Your personal impact is closely tied to the performance and alignment of your leadership team. Complex stakeholder dynamics require sustained, intensive communication and power interventions across multiple moves.

Work in this unique setting within a confidential, interactive workshop designed for top-tier leaders. Engage with a carefully selected group of participants at the right strategic altitude. You'll receive an update on current leadership trends relevant to the top level and delve into the subtle, almost timeless issues faced by "leaders of leaders."

With Holger Sobanski, one of the most experienced top-management coaches in the German-speaking world, you will work in a practical and confidential environment to find key answers to your personal leadership questions in your position.
