Lateral Leadership
Gain commitment and achieve goals
Modern forms of cooperation – within flat management structures, matrix or expert organizations – demand a new understanding of leadership. Leadership at eye level means without the hierarchical authority of a manager having to exert influence in order to achieve goals together.
Classical leadership tools reach their limits. With the Commitment Game Plate our approach of lateral leadership at eye level provides an instrument for the core tasks of a lateral leader: strategy development and communication.

Your impression of the seminar “Leading at eye level?
I benefited a lot from the two seminar days, but also from the design of the entire learning process. In the transfer phase, a few weeks after the training, we had a short webinar. The mere fact that the topic is not finally completed with the training, but is followed by a further examination of the content, meant that what was learned was not forgotten so quickly. The topics have remained more present with regard to the webinar. As a result, I have been able to bring the contents more consciously into my everyday work.
