First Leadership: Leadership Programme for High Potentials
Leadership comes into play whenever results cannot be met by an individual’s hard work alone and a team effort is required to achieve goals.
Whoever needs to motivate employees toward common goals and wants to multiply the effectiveness of their own performance needs leadership skills. This programme shows ambitious young managers how they can develop themselves successfully, how to understand the soft skills required for the “human success factor” and how to motivate others to excel.

Concept
You might catch people’s attention with your professional expertise, but leadership and soft skills generate lasting corporate success and allow you to climb up the career ladder.
The path to successful leadership is a demanding and complex challenge with many pitfalls. To overcome this problem, you will require efficient self-management, a self-conscious awareness of your own leadership roles and capabilities, as well as effective communication and negotiating skills. We practice these skills and the methods involved, and we show you how to put them into practice.
The Objectives of this Leadership Training are:
- To demonstrate the basic principles and aspects of results- and employee-oriented leadership
- To demonstrate the basics of management skills
- To learn about the tools and methods of leadership and practice their effective implementation
- To recognize the importance of soft skills and improve your own behaviour within group and management processes
- To recognize your own strengths in negotiations and to better bring them to bear
- To develop your communication skills
- To represent yourself and your company or organization convincingly in important situations
