When the strategy does not reach the front line, that is down to neither the structures nor the people. It is down to how they are led. That can be changed. In ten days we show you how:
You can read it off a handful of sentences that are said in every company.
“Sure, it's hard work, but it pays off.”
“If there's a way, we'll find it.”
“I'm at my desk until 8pm every evening.”
“I make sure the place doesn't blow up.”
“The goal was unrealistic from the start.”
“Nobody told me that was my job.”
The impact of engagement on hard facts is measurable and clearly documented — for example, in the Gallup 2024 study.
Highly engaged teams generate significantly more.
Those who can act effectively are absent less often.
Self-efficacious teams keep their people.
If you're looking for a vendor who strengthens your people's self-efficacy, we're the wrong ones. We can only do that together with you.
If you're looking for validation, we're the wrong ones. We say what we think, not what you want to hear.
If you like lengthy proposals, we're the wrong ones too. We'd rather get started.
Stefan Heer's engineer's heart understands our challenges as managers; his work psychologist's soul can explain to us in plain terms how we can develop further in the field of leadership.
When choosing a coach who would speak to our entire company, Stefan Heer convinced us right away. With his authentic, clear communication he reaches all levels of employees equally. His work, in particular carrying out and presenting a comprehensive employee survey, shows his ability to make complex content understandable and accessible. Stefan's particular strength lies in his empathetic and courteous manner, which together with his experience and composure creates an inspiring environment. In summary, working with Stefan was and is a real asset for our company. We recommend him as a coach who brings not only professional expertise but also fosters a motivating and inclusive working climate.
Based on the results of our latest employee survey, we launched a broad development programme for our managers with Leadnow. Pragmatic, needs-oriented and with great expertise, Leadnow supported us in developing and delivering the programme over a full year. We gained a great deal of know-how on leadership topics, practised and reflected on “leadership in action” and applied it concretely to an important development topic at Ergon. I greatly value working with Stefan Heer and his team, combining leadership and organisational development, as sparring partner, source of ideas, perspective opener, facilitator and trainer.
We make leadership effective. As practical as possible, as theoretical as necessary. We come from the trades, we know psychology, and we use unusual methods borrowed from the arts to build organisations that work. That turns working time into time well lived.
