Manager of the Future

If you want to make a career in the future, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

1. How do I Deal with Setbacks?

Professional advancement goes hand in hand with the development of resilience. If projects do not bring the desired success, superiors react negatively to suggestions or customers cancel despite a great deal of commitment, the situation needs to be handled well. 
The reaction must not be resignation or frustration. After a short phase of dealing with setbacks, you should be able to get back to work. Resilience can be trained, and we offer coaching measures aimed at turning professional failures into long-term successes. 
The modern start-up world is characterized by the idea that only failure leads to success. However, this failure does not have to mean the demise of an entire business idea. Our experience teaches us that candidates who have learned to learn from their mistakes have the best prospects in their professional lives.

2 How Reflective am I? 
The basis for this learning is reflection. Only those who recognize their own mistakes, who have an understanding of their weaknesses, know their limits and develop the ability to go beyond them. Those who can classify their own behavior know when they need support and can also correct mistakes. Only those who know the cause of their actions can develop and improve their behavior and develop their skills.
Modern managers must exemplify this behavior in order to develop a team that can get the best out of itself and thus achieve the best results.

3. How Authentic am I? It is normal to behave differently at home than at work. However, the extent of this deviation also shows the degree of authenticity. Anyone who constantly pretends to others, who constantly adapts to conversational situations in order to be accepted or respected, will not be successful in the long term and will struggle with their role. 
Furthermore, recognition within the team will decrease if it is not clear who you are really working with.

4.Am I Empathetic? 
The basis for good cooperation is empathy. Recognizing what others feel, how they perceive my statements, views and ideas is a prerequisite for creating motivation and quickly clearing up misunderstandings. 
Thinking in advance about the chain reaction that will result from decisions and statements is intrinsically important for modern communication and future-oriented action.

5. How do I Motivate Others? The world of work is changing, demographics are turning an employer market into an applicant market. Developing a vision for the company or department is just as important as living and communicating it.
It is no longer enough to announce this once in a job interview; it must be constantly developed and adapted to changing conditions. 
This requires a strong feedback culture and a high degree of openness towards the ideas of team members.

6 How High is my Affinity for Technology?
 The changes in the current world of work not only relate to a new approach to face-to-face culture, but also to the integration of modern IT tools. After the modernization of meetings through online conferences, artificial intelligence is currently the most challenging topic of the future. 
Managers of the future must constantly ask themselves how AI can be integrated into the company or department in a meaningful, targeted way and where it will fail. They must drive these ideas forward and support them with communication.
