Only the leader themselves is responsible for developing the right idea of leadership. Leaders who actively reflect on their context and their role are more likely to achieve success. By combining thoughtful self-awareness with intentional decision-making, they can move beyond relying solely on intuition and gut feelings. This approach fosters stronger, trust-based relationships between leaders and employees.<\/p>\n<p>This book not only provides theoretical foundations but also offers practical tools that have been proven effective in practice over many years. With the help of this book, managers will learn to understand their leadership context and, based on that understanding, develop their idea of leadership. Additionally, it shows how they can communicate and act upon their leadership idea. Therefore, this book consciously avoids presenting a normative, ideal, and universally applicable approach.
