Wir haben Stress in vielen Organisationen so sehr normalisiert, als wäre er eine Führungsstrategie. Doch genau das ist er nicht. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan darüber, wie Führungskräfte starke Leistung ermöglichen können, ohne permanent Druck zu erzeugen. Denn nachhaltige Höchstleistung entsteht nicht durch immer mehr Belastung, sondern durch Klarheit, Fokus und Eigenverantwortung. Teams leisten oft nicht deshalb zu wenig, weil sie zu wenig arbeiten – sondern weil Prioritäten konkurrieren, Entscheidungen verzögert werden und Erwartungen unklar bleiben. Stefan zeigt, warum chronischer Stress Urteilsvermögen, Kreativität und Zusammenarbeit schwächt – und weshalb das Verhalten der Führungskraft das emotionale Klima im Team entscheidend prägt. Wer unter Druck ruhig bleibt, schafft Vertrauen. Wer Dringlichkeit ohne Orientierung verbreitet, erzeugt dagegen Unsicherheit statt Leistung. Du erfährst, warum Ziele stärker über Ergebnisse statt über Aktivitäten gesteuert werden sollten, wie Du Kontrolle durch Eigenverantwortung ersetzt und weshalb gute Führung Energie genauso bewusst schützt wie Resultate. Eine Folge über nachhaltige Performance, klare Prioritäten und Führung, die Leistung ermöglicht, ohne Menschen zu überlasten. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Teams rarely fail due to a lack of talent or tools, they fail because their work is poorly coordinated. Missed deadlines, blown budgets, constant fire drills, and disengaged employees are usually symptoms of one hidden problem: outdated, industrial-era management practices trying to run a modern, knowledge-based workforce. Today's guest, Chris Majer of Human Potential Project and author of “The Power to Transform,” has helped organizations generate over $4 billion in measurable value by fixing this core issue: how people actually coordinate work. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Chris breaks down what he calls the “technology for coordination,” a practical, performance-based approach originally honed with elite athletes and the military, then applied to companies like Capital One and Allianz Life. Instead of adding more project management tools or dashboards, Chris shows why the real leverage is in upgrading how people make and keep commitments through clear action cycles: “I promise or ask you to do X by time Y,” and then rigorously follow through. He explains how vague language like “ASAP” quietly destroys trust, creates drama, and cascades into organization-wide chaos. Chris also shares powerful case studies, including helping Capital One stand up a 1,500-person call center in 180 days and guiding Allianz Life to a $685 million documented return on a $10 million investment in performance transformation. Along the way, he reveals why most “learning” today is just consumption of information, and why real capability only comes from structured practice, repetition, and cultural reinforcement over months, not from a weekend seminar or a list of “tips.” https://youtu.be/dMYrL78ppdw?si=P-6GZnrttEfVWQsU If you're tired of busy but unproductive teams, endless misalignment, and people hiding from accountability, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership and management. You'll learn why some team members naturally opt out when a true performance culture shows up, what CEOs must do to stand firm through the predictable pushback, and how to start building a company where coordination, trust, and performance are baked into the way work gets done. If you're ready to move beyond theory and slide decks into measurable, sustainable results, Chris's approach may be exactly the reset your organization needs. Quotes: "We're all about performance, not theories, not trending, but what actually works, what is consistently working, and what we believe will work as we move into this new future we're all staring at."  "Most of us today don't make things; we generate value out of our effective coordination with other people to take care of customer concerns. That's a completely different world, but we're still trying to manage it with industrial-era practices."   "If we do our job really well, two to three percent of your people are going to quit, and we don't charge you any extra for that. We're culling the herd for you."   Contact Details: Ready to Transform Your Company's Performance?

Many leaders know this concern: If I lead with too much humanity, will performance suffer? And if I consistently demand performance, will I lose my team? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan addresses a misunderstanding that is deeply rooted in many organizations: humanity and performance are often seen as opposites. But real leadership shows the opposite. The best leaders do not choose between people and results. They create a culture in which trust, clarity, and high standards reinforce each other. Stefan explains why difficult conversations are often avoided, why humanity must not be confused with leniency, and why leaders weaken their teams when they solve too many problems themselves. You will learn how to give clear feedback in a respectful and effective way, why “High Respect, High Standards” is a powerful leadership principle, and how to develop people without taking responsibility away from them. An episode about clarity, trust, and performance – and about the insight that humanity does not cost performance. On the contrary: when understood correctly, it multiplies performance. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast? Then please rate it with a star rating and review it on iTunes or/and Spotify.

The Leadership Operating System Every leader develops an internal operating system. It's built from experience, reinforced by success, and often becomes invisible to the person running it. In this episode, Allison explores: Why the habits that created success may eventually create limitations How early-stage leadership instincts differ from scaling-stage leadership needs The hidden ways leaders become organizational bottlenecks Why recurring problems are often systemic rather than isolated The challenge of recognizing your own leadership patterns How authority limits honest feedback Why perspective is often more valuable than advice The role trusted peers play in helping leaders see blind spots How leaders can upgrade their operating system as they grow Key Question: What recurring pattern in your organization might be connected to how you operate as a leader?

Was macht eine Organisation wirklich gesund – ein gutes Benefit-Programm oder die Art, wie geführt wird? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan mit Johannes Füß, Leadership- und HR-Experte bei EGYM Wellpass und Host des Level Up HR Podcasts. Gemeinsam gehen sie der Frage nach, warum Gesundheit, Energie und Leistungsfähigkeit längst keine reinen HR-Themen mehr sind, sondern zentrale Führungsaufgaben. Johannes teilt seine Perspektive darauf, warum Unternehmen nicht automatisch gesund werden, nur weil sie ihren Mitarbeitenden gute Angebote machen. Entscheidend sind Führungskräfte, die zuhören, Verantwortung ernst nehmen und eine Kultur schaffen, in der Menschen sich wohlfühlen, wachsen und Leistung bringen können. Es geht um psychologische Sicherheit, gesunde Strukturen, die Rolle von CEO, CFO und CHRO – und um die unbequeme Wahrheit, dass HR stärker in Wirkung, Daten und Wertbeitrag denken muss, wenn es wirklich auf Augenhöhe mitgestalten will. Außerdem sprechen Stefan und Johannes über KI in HR und Leadership, über Growth Mindset, persönliche Weiterentwicklung und die Frage, warum gute Führung oft nicht mit Dominanz beginnt, sondern mit Zuhören, Klarheit und Vertrauen. Ein ehrliches Gespräch über gesunde Organisationen, wirksame HR-Arbeit und Führung, die Menschen nicht krank macht – sondern stärker. ––– // LINKEDIN Johannes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannes-füß/ Hier gehts zu Johannes Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4EO1u3Vu7q7HZVHx0o68rO?si=78086281710b4b69 (Teil 2 erst heißt am 28.07.2026) ––– Welche 2 Fehler Transformationen scheitern lassen – und wie HR Transformationen zum Erfolg führt.

Why Your Team Stops Telling You the Truth As companies grow, leaders often face an invisible challenge: they hear less of what's really happening. This isn't because employees are dishonest. It's because people naturally filter information when speaking to someone who holds authority over their career, compensation, and future opportunities. In this episode, Allison explores: How growth changes a leader's information environment Why teams begin filtering information The role power plays in workplace communication How leadership blind spots are created Why people stop raising concerns The hidden cost of operating on incomplete information Why asking for honesty isn't enough How to create psychological safety inside organizations The importance of trusted peers outside your business Key Question: When your team gives you an update, do you believe you're getting the full picture? If not, what have you done to make honesty truly safe?

Viele Führungskräfte kennen diese Sorge: Wenn ich zu menschlich führe, leidet dann die Leistung? Und wenn ich konsequent Leistung einfordere, verliere ich dann mein Team? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über ein Missverständnis, das in vielen Organisationen tief verankert ist: Menschlichkeit und Performance werden oft als Gegensätze gesehen. Dabei zeigt echte Führung genau das Gegenteil. Die besten Führungskräfte entscheiden sich nicht zwischen Menschen und Ergebnissen. Sie schaffen eine Kultur, in der Vertrauen, Klarheit und hohe Standards zusammenwirken. Stefan zeigt, warum schwierige Gespräche oft vermieden werden, warum Menschlichkeit nicht mit Nachgiebigkeit verwechselt werden darf und weshalb Führungskräfte ihre Teams schwächen, wenn sie zu viele Probleme selbst lösen. Du erfährst, wie klare Rückmeldung respektvoll und wirksam gelingt, warum „High Respect, High Standards“ ein starkes Führungsprinzip ist und wie Du Menschen entwickelst, ohne ihnen Verantwortung abzunehmen. Eine Folge über Klarheit, Vertrauen und Leistung – und über die Erkenntnis, dass Menschlichkeit keine Performance kostet. Im Gegenteil: Richtig verstanden multipliziert sie Leistung. ––– Welche 2 Fehler Transformationen scheitern lassen – und wie HR Transformationen zum Erfolg führt.

The Loneliness That Grows With Success Success often brings opportunities, influence, and growth. It can also bring something leaders rarely discuss openly: loneliness. In this episode, Allison explores: Why leadership often becomes more isolating as organizations scale How the gap between leaders and their teams naturally widens over time Why people stop telling leaders the full truth The hidden cost of carrying leadership challenges alone How isolation impacts decision-making and strategic thinking The role of trusted peers in preventing leadership blind spots Why honest feedback becomes harder to access as your authority increases How to create relationships where truth can be shared without fear The importance of building support systems outside your organization Key Question: When was the last time someone told you something genuinely difficult to hear? If you're struggling to answer that question, it may reveal more about your leadership environment than you realize.

How does a company come back from an existential crisis and become one of the strongest brands in the world again? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan talks about one of the most impressive turnarounds in business history: the LEGO case. A brand many of us have known since childhood was on the brink of collapse in the early 2000s. Too many products, too much complexity, rising costs, and a lost focus on what customers truly wanted pushed LEGO into a serious crisis. Stefan shares the leadership lessons behind this comeback: why more initiatives do not automatically lead to more success, why reducing costs and driving growth can happen at the same time, and why great leadership does not mean having all the answers yourself. For LEGO, the key was a return to its core brand, radical simplification, and leadership that started listening again: to customers, employees, and retail partners. An episode about crisis, focus, and clarity – and about why great comebacks rarely begin with more complexity, but with consistent leadership. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

What if educating your people so well that they could leave was exactly the point? At Your Health, that's not a risk to manage — it's the philosophy that built an entire learning ecosystem. In this episode, Jamie talks with Aubrey Wall, who came to Your Health from a background in education and now leads Your Health University, the organization's learning management system and continuous-development engine. Aubrey brings an educator's eye to a fast-evolving healthcare environment, where best practice changes by the day and meeting patients where they are demands that staff never stop learning.

Wie schafft es ein Unternehmen, aus einer existenziellen Krise wieder zu einer der stärksten Marken der Welt zu werden? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über einen der beeindruckendsten Turnarounds der Wirtschaftsgeschichte: den LEGO-Case. Eine Marke, die viele seit der Kindheit kennen, stand Anfang der 2000er kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch. Zu viele Produkte, zu hohe Komplexität, steigende Kosten und ein verlorener Fokus auf das, was Kund:innen wirklich wollten, brachten LEGO an den Rand der Krise. Stefan zeigt, welche Führungslektionen in diesem Comeback stecken: Warum mehr Initiativen nicht automatisch mehr Erfolg bedeuten, weshalb Kosten senken und Wachstum steigern gleichzeitig möglich sein können und warum gute Führung nicht darin besteht, alle Antworten selbst zu haben. Entscheidend war bei LEGO die Rückkehr zum Markenkern, radikale Vereinfachung und eine Führung, die wieder genau hinhörte: bei Kund:innen, Mitarbeitenden und Handelspartnern. Eine Folge über Krise, Fokus und Klarheit – und darüber, warum große Comebacks selten mit mehr Komplexität beginnen, sondern mit konsequenter Führung. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

How do you lead a company into the future without losing its identity? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks with Stefan Leitz – an internationally experienced leader who knows both global corporate environments and traditional family-owned businesses from the inside. After many years at companies such as Procter & Gamble, Gillette, Wella and Unilever, his career later took him to Kühne and Faber-Castell. It is exactly this experience between two very different business worlds that makes this conversation so valuable. Together, they explore what distinguishes great leadership in global corporations and family-owned businesses – and what both worlds can learn from each other. The conversation touches on tradition and transformation, brand and responsibility, long-term thinking, speed, and the question of how leaders need to evolve when environments, cultures and expectations change. Stefan Leitz shares how he recognizes leadership talent, what has shaped him as a leader, and why great leadership always means balancing future readiness with identity. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Wie führt man Unternehmen erfolgreich in die Zukunft, ohne ihre Identität zu verlieren? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan mit Stefan Leitz – einer international erfahrenen Führungskraft, die sowohl globale Corporate-Welten als auch traditionsreiche Familienunternehmen von innen kennt. Nach vielen Jahren in Unternehmen wie Procter & Gamble, Gillette, Wella und Unilever führte ihn sein Weg unter anderem zu Kühne und Faber-Castell. Genau diese Erfahrung zwischen zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Unternehmenswelten macht dieses Gespräch besonders. Gemeinsam sprechen die beiden darüber, was gute Führung in globalen Konzernen und in Familienunternehmen unterscheidet – und was beide Welten voneinander lernen können. Es geht um Tradition und Transformation, um Marke und Verantwortung, um langfristiges Denken, Geschwindigkeit und die Frage, wie Führungskräfte ihre eigene Haltung weiterentwickeln müssen, wenn sich Umfeld, Kultur und Erwartungen verändern. Stefan Leitz teilt seine Perspektive darauf, woran er Führungstalent erkennt, was ihn selbst als Leader geprägt hat und warum gute Führung immer auch bedeutet, die Balance zwischen Zukunftsfähigkeit und Identität zu halten. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Why do so many organizations talk about feedback culture – but fail to truly live it? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan addresses an uncomfortable truth: Most companies do not have a feedback problem. They have a fear problem. People do not avoid feedback because they fail to understand its importance, but because they fear conflict, consequences, or vulnerability. And that is exactly why feedback is often softened, delayed, or hidden in annual reviews that create little real impact. Stefan explains why a real feedback culture does not start with HR, but with daily leadership behavior. It is about creating psychological safety, visibly role-modeling honest feedback, and not confusing clarity with harshness. Because feedback is not a tool you use occasionally. Feedback is leadership behavior. You will learn why honest conversations may create tension at first – and why exactly this tension is necessary for learning, ownership, and trust to emerge. An episode for everyone who does not just want to talk about feedback culture, but wants to create an environment where people speak to each other with courage, clarity, and constructive intent. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Warum sprechen so viele Organisationen über Feedbackkultur – aber leben sie nicht wirklich? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über eine unbequeme Wahrheit: Die meisten Unternehmen haben kein Feedbackproblem, sondern ein Angstproblem. Menschen vermeiden Feedback nicht, weil sie seine Bedeutung nicht verstehen, sondern weil sie Konflikte, Konsequenzen oder Verletzlichkeit fürchten. Und genau deshalb wird Feedback oft weichgespült, zu spät gegeben oder in Jahresgesprächen versteckt, die kaum Wirkung entfalten. Stefan zeigt, warum echte Feedbackkultur nicht bei HR beginnt, sondern im täglichen Führungsverhalten. Es geht darum, psychologische Sicherheit zu schaffen, ehrliches Feedback sichtbar vorzuleben und Klarheit nicht mit Härte zu verwechseln. Denn Feedback ist kein Tool, das man gelegentlich einsetzt. Feedback ist Führungsverhalten. Du erfährst, warum ehrliche Gespräche zunächst Spannung erzeugen können, aber genau diese Spannung notwendig ist, damit Lernen, Verantwortung und Vertrauen entstehen. Eine Folge für alle, die nicht nur über Feedbackkultur reden wollen – sondern ein Umfeld schaffen möchten, in dem Menschen mutig, klar und konstruktiv miteinander sprechen. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Why are teams often friendly – but still not successful? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan addresses a common but underestimated problem: team harmony that feels good, but prevents real performance. When conflicts are avoided, decisions are softened, and feedback is diluted, progress stops – and teams stagnate. Many organizations confuse harmony with good collaboration. But when no one says what they truly think, poor decisions go unchallenged, accountability gets blurred, and performance is not clearly expected. The result: a team that gets along well – but operates below its potential. Stefan explains why clear communication is not an attack but a sign of respect, why strong decisions don't always require consensus, and why measurable outcomes are the foundation of real performance. It's about choosing clarity over comfort, strengthening accountability, and making leadership effective again. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Send us Fan MailSupply chain disruptions, like those we're seeing now around energy supplies from the Persian Gulf, can cause long-term business and profitability impacts. Leadership skills in those tense situations can make or break a company's response to these unforeseen events. Jeff Zudock, a 35-year veteran of ExxonMobil and an expert in commercial and supply chain management, joins us to share his insights around managing a major supply disruption. Jeff shares with us details of a major incident that he worked at Exxon and the cascading series of challenges that leadership faced navigating the unexpected outage.  The stakes are high when raw materials go in short supply, and quick action is needed to avert losses that can quickly reach millions of dollars per day if manufacturing facilities are idled owing to a kink in the supply chain. You'll hear Jeff discuss leadership principles that help guide him when leading a crisis team, and he also offers insight into best practices to avoid supply chain disruptions.This episode originally aired in November 2023.#supplychain #supplychaincrisis #crisis #crisiscommunicationsWe'd love to hear from you.  Email the show at Tom@leadinginacrisis.com.

We live in a time of permanent uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions, economic pressure, rapid disruption through AI, and volatile markets are changing the leadership landscape dramatically. At the same time, expectations from customers, investors, and employees continue to rise. Many leaders try to provide certainty – even though true certainty is no longer possible. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explains why uncertainty has become the new normal and why clarity matters more than certainty in today's world. People do not expect perfect predictions. They expect direction, focus, and calm leadership. Stefan shares why clear priorities matter more than perfect plans, how transparent communication builds trust, and why fast decisions with incomplete information are often better than waiting too long. It's about creating clarity, staying calm under pressure, and remaining capable of action in uncertain times. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Wir leben in einer Zeit permanenter Unsicherheit. Geopolitische Spannungen, wirtschaftlicher Druck, technologische Umbrüche durch KI und volatile Märkte verändern die Rahmenbedingungen für Führung radikal. Gleichzeitig steigen die Erwartungen von Kunden, Investoren und Mitarbeitenden. Viele Führungskräfte versuchen deshalb, Sicherheit zu geben – obwohl das heute kaum noch möglich ist. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan darüber, warum Unsicherheit längst zum Normalzustand geworden ist und weshalb Klarheit heute wichtiger ist als Sicherheit. Denn Menschen erwarten nicht perfekte Vorhersagen. Sie erwarten Orientierung, Fokus und ruhige Führung. Stefan zeigt, warum klare Prioritäten wichtiger sind als perfekte Pläne, wie transparente Kommunikation Vertrauen schafft und weshalb schnelle Entscheidungen mit unvollständiger Information oft besser sind als langes Zögern. Es geht darum, auch in turbulenten Zeiten Ruhe auszustrahlen, Klarheit zu schaffen und handlungsfähig zu bleiben. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Warum sind Teams oft freundlich, aber trotzdem nicht erfolgreich? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über ein unterschätztes, aber weit verbreitetes Problem: Harmonie im Team, die sich gut anfühlt – aber echte Leistung verhindert. Wenn Konflikte vermieden, Entscheidungen weichgespült und Feedback abgeschwächt wird, entsteht kein Fortschritt, sondern Stillstand. Viele Organisationen verwechseln Harmonie mit guter Zusammenarbeit. Doch wenn niemand ausspricht, was wirklich gedacht wird, bleiben schlechte Entscheidungen unchallenged, Verantwortung wird verwässert und Leistung nicht klar eingefordert. Das Ergebnis: ein Team, das sich gut versteht – aber unter seinen Möglichkeiten bleibt. Stefan zeigt, warum klare Worte kein Angriff, sondern ein Zeichen von Respekt sind, warum gute Entscheidungen nicht immer konsensfähig sein müssen und weshalb messbare Ergebnisse die Grundlage für echte Leistung sind. Es geht darum, Klarheit über Komfort zu stellen, Verantwortung zu stärken und Führung wieder wirksam zu machen. ⬇️ CHRO-WEBINAR ⬇️ Kostenlose Anmeldung zum Webinar – In 30 Minuten sehen, welche zwei Muster Transformation ausbremsen – und wie Du diese Fehler systematisch vermeidest, ohne noch ein weiteres Einzeltraining „oben drauf“ zu setzen: http://bit.ly/4csDha7 ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Why do decisions keep coming back to you – even though you already delegated them? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan addresses a pattern many leaders experience: decisions are delegated, only to return shortly after. Not because the team lacks capability, but because the decision framework is unclear or leaders unintentionally signal control. When responsibility is not clearly transferred, or decisions are corrected afterwards, uncertainty grows. The result: reverse delegation. Decisions flow back to the leader, who remains stuck in operational details. Stefan explains how to define clear decision boundaries, keep ownership where it belongs, and strengthen accountability through better questions instead of quick answers. It's about encouraging decision-making courage, not just evaluating outcomes – and building trust instead of controlling details. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Warum kommen Entscheidungen immer wieder zu Dir zurück – obwohl Du sie längst delegiert hast? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über ein Muster, das viele Führungskräfte kennen: Entscheidungen werden delegiert – und landen kurze Zeit später wieder auf dem eigenen Tisch. Nicht, weil dem Team die Kompetenz fehlt, sondern weil der Entscheidungsrahmen unklar ist oder unbewusst Signale von Kontrolle gesendet werden. Wenn Verantwortung nicht sauber übergeben wird oder Führungskräfte Entscheidungen nachträglich korrigieren, entsteht Unsicherheit. Die Folge: Rückdelegation. Entscheidungen werden zurückgegeben – und Führungskräfte bleiben im operativen Detail gefangen. Stefan zeigt, wie Du klare Entscheidungsräume definierst, Verantwortung dort hältst, wo sie hingehört, und durch gezielte Fragen statt schneller Antworten Ownership im Team stärkst. Es geht darum, Entscheidungsmut zu fördern, statt nur Ergebnisse zu bewerten – und Vertrauen über Kontrolle zu stellen. ⬇️ CHRO-WEBINAR ⬇️ Kostenlose Anmeldung zum Webinar – In 30 Minuten sehen, welche zwei Muster Transformation ausbremsen – und wie Du diese Fehler systematisch vermeidest, ohne noch ein weiteres Einzeltraining „oben drauf“ zu setzen: http://bit.ly/4csDha7 ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Why do so many leaders struggle to make clear decisions? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan addresses one of the most common challenges in leadership: important decisions that get delayed. Not because information is missing – but because too much is at stake. Doubt, fear of consequences, and too many voices in your head often lead to hesitation or inaction. Stefan explains why inaction is often more costly than making the wrong decision and why clarity does not come from endless analysis, but from deciding consciously. He shows how defining the real decision, setting clear time boundaries, and acting with sufficient – not perfect – information can dramatically improve decision quality. At the core is a simple principle: reach a decision within 48 hours, align it with your strategy, and take ownership. Leadership is not about avoiding decisions – it's about making them with clarity and conviction, and then executing them. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

What is different about leading in corporations, NGOs, and entrepreneurial environments – and what remains the same? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks with Till Wahnbaeck, one of the most versatile leaders you will meet. His career spans Procter & Gamble, Wella, serving as CEO of Welthungerhilfe, and now founding IMPACC. He brings a unique perspective on leadership across business, development, and entrepreneurship. They explore key moments that shaped his leadership, what great leadership truly means, and how to recognize leadership talent. Till shares insights on the differences and similarities between corporate and NGO environments, how leadership varies across cultural contexts, and what European leaders can learn from Africa. A central theme is the discipline of prioritization, the ability to say no, and the importance of continuous self-development. One thing becomes clear: effective leadership requires clarity, strong values, and the willingness to take responsibility – regardless of the environment. A conversation about leadership across worlds, about creating impact beyond systems, and about what truly matters when it counts. ––– More about Till: // LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/till-wahnbaeck-35b1018/ // Impacc: https://impacc.org/de/ ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Was unterscheidet Führung in Konzernen, NGOs und unternehmerischen Kontexten – und was bleibt überall gleich? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan mit Till Wahnbaeck, einem außergewöhnlich vielseitigen Leader mit Stationen bei Procter & Gamble, Wella, als CEO der Welthungerhilfe und heute als Gründer von Impacc. Till vereint Erfahrungen aus Wirtschaft, Entwicklung und Unternehmertum – und bringt damit eine seltene Perspektive auf wirksame Führung. Im Gespräch geht es um prägende Stationen seines Lebens, um die Frage, was gute Führung wirklich ausmacht, und wie sich Leadership-Talent erkennen lässt. Till teilt, welche Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten er zwischen Corporate und NGO-Welt erlebt hat, warum Führung in unterschiedlichen kulturellen Kontexten anders funktioniert und was europäische Führungskräfte von Afrika lernen können. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Fähigkeit, sich selbst weiterzuentwickeln, konsequent zu priorisieren und auch bewusst Nein zu sagen, um Wirkung zu entfalten. Dabei wird deutlich: Wirksame Führung braucht Klarheit, Haltung und die Bereitschaft, Verantwortung zu übernehmen – unabhängig vom Kontext. Ein Gespräch über Führung mit Perspektive, über Wirkung über Systemgrenzen hinweg und über die Frage, was wirklich zählt, wenn es darauf ankommt. ––– Mehr von Till: // LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/till-wahnbaeck-35b1018/ // Impacc: https://impacc.org/de/ ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Warum fällt es so vielen Führungskräften schwer, klare Entscheidungen zu treffen? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts geht es um eine der häufigsten Herausforderungen im Führungsalltag: wichtige Entscheidungen, die liegen bleiben. Nicht, weil Informationen fehlen – sondern weil zu viel auf dem Spiel steht. Zweifel, Angst vor Konsequenzen und zu viele Stimmen im Kopf führen dazu, dass Führungskräfte zögern oder Entscheidungen aufschieben. Stefan zeigt, warum Stillstand oft teurer ist als eine falsche Entscheidung und weshalb Klarheit nicht durch endlose Analyse entsteht, sondern durch bewusstes Entscheiden. Er macht deutlich, wie wichtig es ist, das eigentliche Entscheidungsproblem sauber zu definieren, sich klare zeitliche Grenzen zu setzen und mit ausreichend – nicht perfekter – Information zu handeln. Im Mittelpunkt steht ein klarer Ansatz: innerhalb von 48 Stunden zu einer Entscheidung zu kommen, Prioritäten entlang der Strategie zu setzen und mutig Verantwortung zu übernehmen.

As leadership becomes less about control and more about influence, purpose can become a powerful anchor.

We talk to Michele about her experience working to integrate learning into her day-to-day leadership, and why the most effective leaders remain open, reflective, and perpetually unfinished.About Our GuestMichele is a seasoned lawyer with deep private practice and in-house experience leading legal, operations, regulatory and compliance teams; and more importantly, a demonstrated history of leading highly engaged teams.

Why is it so hard for many leaders to simply stay silent? In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explores a powerful yet often underestimated leadership tool: intentional silence. Many leaders feel they must constantly explain, motivate, and provide answers. Yet real impact often comes not from more words, but from well-timed silence. When leaders fill every pause and immediately provide solutions, they take away the team's opportunity to think, take ownership, and develop their own ideas. Silence, on the other hand, creates space for reflection, stronger answers, and deeper engagement. Stefan explains how short pauses, thoughtful questions, and consciously used silence can transform conversations. Leaders who resist the urge to react immediately give their teams room to think, contribute, and take responsibility. An episode about a quiet but powerful leadership tool: knowing when not to speak. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Where does innovation really begin? After interviewingdozens of college presidents, one surprising leadership habit kept appearing: listening.When we talk about innovation in higher education, theconversation often centers on bold ideas, new programs, or visionary strategies. But insights from leaders across the field suggest that meaningful innovation often begins somewhere much quieter.It begins with listening.Through the IngenioUs podcast, Dr. Melissa Morriss-Olson has spoken with dozens of college and university presidents about leading change in complex institutions. One lessonconsistently emerges from those conversations: before introducing new initiatives, successful leaders take time to understand the people and contexts they serve. They listen to faculty, staff, and students, learning how their institutions really work and what challenges people are experiencing.Why does this matter? Because when leaders move tooquickly to solutions, they sometimes end up solving the wrong problem.Listening helps uncover the deeper issues—and the real opportunities for meaningful change.In Dr. Morriss-Olson's newest blog article, “TheFirst Leadership Habit of Innovation,” she explores this ideaand shares insights drawn from these leadership conversations.

Warum fällt es vielen Führungskräften so schwer, einfach einmal still zu sein? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über ein unterschätztes, aber äußerst wirksames Führungsinstrument: bewusstes Schweigen. Viele Führungskräfte glauben, sie müssten ständig erklären, motivieren und Antworten geben. Doch oft entsteht echte Wirkung nicht durch mehr Worte – sondern durch klug gesetzte Stille. Wenn Führungskräfte jede Pause füllen und sofort Lösungen liefern, nehmen sie ihrem Team die Chance zu denken, Verantwortung zu übernehmen und eigene Lösungen zu entwickeln. Schweigen dagegen schafft Raum für Reflexion, bessere Antworten und echte Beteiligung. Stefan zeigt, wie kurze Pausen, gezielte Fragen und bewusst eingesetzte Stille Gespräche verändern können. Wer lernt, nicht sofort zu reagieren, sondern Raum für Denken zu lassen, stärkt Eigenverantwortung, Qualität der Entscheidungen und echte Zusammenarbeit. Eine Folge über ein leises, aber kraftvolles Führungsinstrument: die Fähigkeit zu schweigen. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Julie shared her invaluable experiences and insights from her 14 years of leadership, focusing on the significance of diversity, social entrepreneurship, and the moral compass that drives successful businesses.About Julie Van NessJulie Van Ness has been a transformative figure in the world of business, recognized for her commitment to social impact and diversity in leadership. Under her guidance, Real Leaders has evolved into a platform that champions the voices of underrepresented leaders and promotes the integration of social good into business strategies. Julie's journey in a male-dominated field has equipped her with unique perspectives on leadership that every aspiring leader can learn from.The Vision Behind Real LeadersWhen Julie joined Real Leaders in 2010, the landscape was vastly different. She credits the magazine's founder, Mark Van Ness, for recognizing a crucial gap in leadership representation. He saw that decision-makers were often older white males and believed that new voices needed to be included in the conversation for meaningful change. Julie resonated with this vision, emphasizing that both gender diversity and a broader representation of voices are essential for driving innovation in business.

We are all working in multigenerational environments, and for many the differences in preference and perspective generate more friction and misunderstanding than productivity. Most conversations about generations at work turn to using labels, assumptions, and overconfidence about what a given generation "is like." In this episode, we look at generational patterns as context, not conclusions, and investigate where they can help us connect and collaborate across generations and where they fall short. Collaboration gets easier when we stop leading with assumptions and start getting curious about the people we need to work with. We might have more in common that we realize.
