Leadership update for the polycrisis

Someone has to do it, right? These are difficult times for managers: opaque, hyperdynamic markets. Organisations that fly by what pilots call visual flight rules. No time to live up to one's own leadership standards, as operational firefighting is constantly on. And finally, among employees, there is a wide range of reactions: from ambitious actionism to hoping for more clarity to working to rule.

What is Tough Time Leadership?

The compact leadership development update that adapts to the needs of participants. With four core elements:

1. Leadership evergreens to refresh existing knowledge

2. Peer case consultation on your own questions and challenges in everyday leadership

3. New inspiration from neuroscience, systemic agile organisational development and technology

4. Personalised leadership toolkit to manage your own development

Restore your capacity to act

With Tough Time Leadership, managers receive a short, intensive programme lasting 2 to 4 days, in which they

• Rethink your ideas and practices of leadership and determine what you want to change

• Discuss and resolve your very own pressing questions and issues in your leadership role with experienced colleagues and consultants

• Find allies to help you find a way out of the Vale of Tears & Paralysis

• Learn work hacks and methods for new energy, orientation and decision-making skills

• Access LEMON, the AI agent for leadership questions (from Q2/2026)

The programme has a modular design and allows for different durations, a mix of face-to-face and remote sessions, and flexible integration with existing leadership programmes in your organisation.
