Lea­der­ship semi­nar at the Uni­ver­sity of St. Gallen

Leadership for new managers 

Self-management and leadership skills

As a new mana­ger, you will expand your pro­fes­sio­nal exper­tise with cru­cial know-how in lea­der­ship, self-manage­ment and com­mu­ni­ca­tion. The more cle­arly you under­stand your own lea­der­ship per­so­na­lity, the more con­fi­dently and suc­cessfully you will inter­act with your employees.

In this semi­nar, you will gain a struc­tu­red over­view of key manage­ment tasks, typi­cal stumb­ling blocks and clear no-gos. You will learn about the most important manage­ment prin­ci­ples and con­cepts, apply them in prac­tice and hone your per­so­nal manage­ment profile.

Acquire the neces­sary skills for a suc­cessful start in your lea­der­ship role and shape your first 100 days as a mana­ger con­fi­dently and effectively.

Content summary 

Par­ti­ci­pants learn to reco­g­nise their own pat­terns of thin­king and beha­viour and to con­sciously con­trol them. They expe­ri­ence how goals become clea­rer, values pro­vide ori­en­ta­tion and respon­si­bi­lity gives strength in dif­fi­cult situa­tions. Through exer­ci­ses, reflec­tion and inter­ac­tive ele­ments, con­fi­dence in one’s own strengths grows – as does the ability to over­come set­backs pro­duc­tively. This crea­tes an atti­tude that com­bi­nes cla­rity, com­po­sure and the power to act.

  • You deve­lop an inner atti­tude that is con­du­cive to your goals and place your per­so­nal respon­si­bi­lity at the centre of all your actions.
  • You apply various lea­der­ship tools con­fi­dently, appro­pria­tely for the situa­tion and tar­get group.
