Conceptual frameworks are crucial for focusing our work and fostering diverse thinking. Mutuality is key to unlocking the full potential of diversity, as visualisation guides conversations and builds relational trust. As leaders, our role is to mobilise others towards a shared goal, and these frameworks serve as powerful tools to mobilise our teams into action. #Leadership #Diversity #Framework #Mutuality

Visualisation is a very important part of conceptualisation and graphics help that process. It also helps in making connections that may not be discovered purely held abstractly in the mind. Graphics also help to show relationships between ideas in your mind as you share with others. Shape discrimination, orientation and sequencing are all exercised in graphic interpretation. Basic cognitive functions, such as these, are most necessary for communication that leads to mutual understanding. Cognitive development and patterns of thought are enhanced by graphic understanding. This is only a part of the understanding of skills that help to nurture mutuality within the corporate world. However, those who use visual representation need to understand the cognitive capabilities required for users and viewers to gain optimum advantage from such a powerful tool. As one who is involved as a co-lead with Matthew Byrne in the project ‘Mutuality - the future of trust’. Our book provides an understanding of how we acquire those social and cognitive capabilities that make communication effective through a wide range of approaches that include graphic models. These models help us understand some of the thinking styles that help participants to follow a thinking process. Our book "Mutuality-the Future Of Trust", shows how we embed the art of being able to think together rather than in opposition, which is the essence of what it means to be mutual, in the corporate world. The book will be launched around September 2024. In the mean time read this open source paper recommended by Rob Briner https://lnkd.in/ekf7GFRC. This is an interesting paper on external representation and a topic that can lead to a greater understanding of mutual cooperation in corporate strategy.

🚀 𝐀𝐈, 𝐌𝐋, 𝐈𝐨𝐓, 𝐀𝐑, 𝐔𝐗, 𝐒𝐚𝐚𝐒 - 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐄𝐈? 🌟 🦍 Reflecting on my leadership journey over the past few years, I discovered a crucial yet often underrated skill: Emotional Intelligence (EI) - or Emotional Sovereignty. In a recent conversation with my manager, we identified my key goal: Further strengthening Emotional Sovereignty to enhance my effectiveness as a leader through conscious reflection, active listening, and recipient-oriented communication. This might seem like the hidden strength of a gorilla—powerful & essential, yet often underestimated. 🦍 EI is the core of effective and successful leadership. It involves recognizing, understanding, and managing our own emotions and those of others. Diving deeper, I found key components that drive EI: 🧠 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Leaders with high EI are aware of their own emotions and can manage them, preventing impulsive actions and supporting objective decision-making even in stressful situations. 🤝 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 Empathetic leaders understand their team members perspectives and needs, enhancing trust and loyalty. Through active listening and creating a supportive environment, they can resolve conflicts more effectively and boost team motivation. 🌟 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 EI helps leaders inspire and motivate their teams. By setting clear goals, providing constructive feedback, and recognizing achievements, they contribute to higher employee satisfaction and productivity. 🌍 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 In a constantly changing work environment, the ability to quickly adapt is essential. Leaders with high EI can guide their teams through changes and minimize resistance. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗜: 👂 Active Listening: Engage in listening and understand others perspectives. 💖 Show Empathy: Feel and address the emotions and needs of your team members. 🔍 Self-Reflection: Regularly reflect on your emotions and their impact on decisions. 🚀 Understand Motivation: Know and leverage the individual drivers of team members. By consciously developing your emotional intelligence, I think leaders can enhance their own effectiveness and improve the well-being and performance of their teams. #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #ProfessionalGrowth #EffectiveLeadership #PersonalGrowth References - [Harvard Business School Online](https://lnkd.in/dRZ3HvDr) - [Center for Creative Leadership (CCL)](https://lnkd.in/dh9kW7S5) - [Leadership Girl](https://lnkd.in/d7DvpmXv) - [Harvard Resource Solutions](https://lnkd.in/dCpt26eF)

When I was nine years old, in elementary school, there were two 'gangs' in my class: Michael Schlücke's gang and Sven Klostermann's gang. It was like a less harmful version of the Crips and the Bloods. Even at the age of nine, my role was that of a mediator. God knows why I didn’t become a lawyer. But when one of the gang leaders started to treat someone unfairly, I intervened with everything my little body and soul could muster. Unfairness is one of my red buttons; no wonder fairness became one of my top three values in life. As a freelancer, negotiating with big corporations is never easy. All the negotiating power of the universe seems to be on the other side. My fellow speakers, trainers, agile coaches, and other freelancers, do you agree with me? But - from the very beginning, when my agenda had more holes than a slice of Emmental cheese, I knew one thing for sure: My values will never be on sale. So every time conversations with potential clients came around to lowering my price, I stuck to my value of fairness. Did I lose prospects? Yes. Do I regret it? No way. In general, sticking to my values has always been the better option in negotiations. So the question is: what are your values that will never be on sale? #fminsights #negotiation #professionalservices #corporatetrainer #keynotespeaker #values

"Going to Gemba” ("Gehe an den Ort des Geschehens") is one of the most relevant principles for relentless improvement. For me it is also became essential part of my work routines - especially back again after the pandemic. Only if we meet and connect with real people, with real discussions and in real offices, we can get the full picture. With "Magenta Office" a new possibility to work abroad in the EU is available in DT since 2023. And this year, I decided to combine a wonderful trip to Valencia with working in the Offices of VTI abroad (DT IT Spain, powered by T-Systems). A special THANK YOU to my colleagues Sergei Holmeckis and Kirill Chernin who opened some doors and connected me to people on-site! Some thoughts I'd like to share, also on our way to New Work and Magenta Offices: - 💓Magenta “has many colors”, but you can always feel when you are entering a “Magenta Office” – equipment works, easy to connect on topics, openness of colleagues, cross-functional mindset ...  - 🌍A shift of location brings a perspective - new ideas, new inspiration and energy to go on - 🦸🏻‍♀️Local roles, people who take care on-site, are needed! These colleagues act cross-functional, have their ears an eyes on the pulse, have the best interest of employees at heart. But we need to LISTEN what is needed locally! - 📝Some creativity and small ideas make a difference – be it individual naming for conference rooms, small meeting areas, local communities – and these ideas do not necessarily cost a lot of money!  - „👋Connecting People“ is important – especially in times of transformation and Change #NewWork #NewWorkatVTI #transformationstartswithme #BestTeamintheIndustry Jan Meyer
