Your are in good company

Why we exist

More than 70 % of all transformations fail.

This is the conclusion of recent studies. In our experience, they stutter and grind to a halt during implementation, not because they are badly defined. That’s why we’re in it with you for the long-haul. Milestone for milestone. Until you get to where you want to be.

The reason: the systemic trap.

Pain Point

Why aren’t people doing things differently? They’ve all been trained!

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By identifying and addressing what’s really stopping your people from doing things differently.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Work with you and your leaders in different formats (coaching, training, mentoring) to develop the skills and to apply our practical toolset, to identify the barriers and create breakthroughs towards the new ways of working with your teams.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Because your leaders need to know how to courageously lead change. When they do, they help teams to overcome their barriers to change, and so create the conditions for teams to WANT to do things differently.

Pain Point

We need to reorganize (again)!

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By stepping back and taking a holistic look across the organization at what really needs to change to address your problem BEFORE you reorganize again.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Provide you and your leaders with a tried and tested practical approach, and partner with you to assess and address the root cause of the problem, and not just the symptom.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Reorganizations often keep everyone busy but rarely address the actual problem. A holistic view of what needs to change, strategically as well as culturally, increases the likelihood of getting to the root cause and bringing about the desired change.

Pain Point

We need more power and speed for the transformation.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By getting all your leaders and managers onboard with the why, the what and the how of your transformation, and more importantly, the leadership role they play in generating the necessary power and speed with their teams to make it happen.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Work with you to upskill your leaders to focus their teams on the few strategically significant things, to get your transformation into execution, and to keep it moving.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Any transformation effort requires leaders. If you create a critical mass of leaders who buy-in to and feel ownership for what needs to transform, they will create the critical mass of people who will bring it into execution.

Pain Point

We feel overwhelmed by how much we are supposed to change. We’re not sure how to get it done.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By breaking down everything that needs to transform into manageable chunks, and allocating each piece to a distinct phase, with a clear beginning and end, and clearly defined milestones to track progress along the way.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Work with you to create each distinct phase, and to guide and develop your leaders to apply this methodical approach for each step of your transformation.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Transformation takes time, planning, and energy. Our structured approach ensures this will be managed well to build a solid foundation, and to make your transformation sustainable in the long-term.

Pain Point

We’re not getting the results we want or need.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By identifying the leadership ‘bugs’ in your system, to understand what needs to change to get the results you want and need.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
We upskill your leaders to take ownership for driving results and provide practical tools to enable them to get themselves, their teams, and the organization back on track.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
If you want different results, you must make different ways of thinking possible. Your leaders are key to getting the results you want. With the right mindset, empathy, skills, and tools, they become the drivers of team outcomes across your organization.

Pain Point

It feels like we’re in a digital tornado!

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By better connecting your leaders with the cultural factors of change, as a key element that needs to be addressed during the implementation of a new digital strategy.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Together we work out the factors that play a role both culturally and strategically, to design your digital transformation in a targeted and aligned way for, and with, the people involved.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Technology changes much more rapidly than the way we think. Introducing new digital processes and systems while ignoring the cultural aspects that need to change, makes this type of transformation more painful and exhausting for everyone involved. So, they need to go hand in hand and be addressed in parallel.

Pain Point

Our culture change went nowhere.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By connecting your cultural change to your strategic goals and making it clear to everyone in your organization how one pays in to, and drives, the other.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
We coach, train and mentor you and your leaders to create awareness for the impact of leadership behaviour on the culture and the strategy of the organization, and to develop the mindset and skillset of participative leadership to bring culture and strategy together.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Culture change needs an understandable reason directly related to the strategic goals of the organization. Your leaders must feel accountable for supporting their teams to make this link, which will ensure that there is enough drive in the whole organization to make this happen.

@ 2Leadership
Pain Point

Next level leaders aren’t assuming their responsibilities in the transformation.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By being clear about leadership expectations and ensuring that your adopted leadership approaches are practicable and fit for purpose, rather than abstract concepts.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
With your Senior Leadership Team, we examine why expectation and stakeholder management isn’t working. Together we define the necessary adjustments for the senior leaders to set the right framework, and work with them to develop the necessary mindset and skillset to develop the leaders at all levels of the organization.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Change begins at the top. If the Senior Leadership Team wants leaders in the organization to behave differently, they must first consider what they need to do differently to allow that to happen.

Pain Point

Our people are leaving!

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
Leaders need to understand their role in why people leave. For that, it is critical that they reflect on what they can do differently to create the conditions for people to want to stay.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Our 1:1 leadership development tools provide a platform for leaders to reflect on their impact on the organization, and to develop the mindset, skillset and toolset to retain a motivated team.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Leaders who reflect on their impact on the organization are better able to develop a leadership culture founded on empathy for the people they lead. This is what is expected of leaders today.

Pain Point

I am tired of sluggish and useless processes around me.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By ensuring that what you do makes sense to everyone in the organization. It’s easy to get caught up in a process and lose sight of the actual purpose or bigger context of how what you are doing pays into transforming the strategy and culture of the organization.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
Together we define a clear roadmap and upskill you and your leaders to be able to provide the necessary context to your teams, whether in 1:1 or in team situations.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Transformation can quickly feel overwhelming. A clear roadmap, and the necessary leadership skills provide focus on what’s critical to be able to take the next step.

Pain Point

I don’t have time to think about strategic things … I am absorbed by daily operations.

HOW will you overcome this pain point?
By developing the ability to find the balance between day-to-day business and strategic leadership responsibilities, and by leaders making a conscious decision to create time for strategic leadership.

WHAT do we do, to enable you to do this?
We coach, train and mentor leaders to develop their mindset, skillset and toolset to overcome their own hurdles and their operational tornado, and to cultivate these skills in their teams and the wider organization.

WHY do we do this and WHY does it work?
Leadership is seldom part of anyone’s job description, and yet leadership is expected of anyone responsible for others. Consciously choosing to rise above the operational sets leaders apart from managers.

What clients say about us and our work

We know what we can do but don’t just take our word for it.

  • “Our company is undergoing the greatest transformation imaginable. We are moving from a traditional core business to a completely new business. Our transformation can only be successful if people understand the need for change and can go along with it. Accordingly, we have found in the management program of 2Leadership the format that is very well suited for us to identify hurdles in simple small steps and to be able to overcome them with simple solution proposals.”

    Katja Müller | Head of Strategic Human Resources Management & Executives, LEAG
  • “One is often not a good advisor to oneself. Sometimes you’re not able to assess the facts objectively. Very different from what you do for third parties.”

    Andreas Sattler | Founder & Owner, Sattler & Partner
  • “2Leadership activated and emotionalized our strategy implementation. By professionally accompanying the transformation and coaching the managers, we stayed on course and successfully mastered a difficult realignment of a subsidiary.”

    Holger Michalka | Managing Director, Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH
    • “I was a bit sceptical at first about how 2Leadership could ‘practically’ support and guide us in this transformation process. After all the workshops we had, I can say that it was a GREAT decision to have 2Leadership on board as it took us to the next level as a team and gave us real practical tools to make this transformation successful.”

      Tino Reppe | Generaldirektor MENAT, WIKA
