Does this sound familiar?

Day-to-day business absorbs leadership just when direction, priorities, responsibility and decisive action are needed.

Common questions from practice

  • Which decisions stall or keep coming back?

  • Are responsibility, mandate and involvement clear enough?

  • Which issues need the leadership team to work together?

How must leaders work together so that important decisions about the future are prepared, made and implemented?

The transformis approach treats leadership as an organisational capability. That includes how different leadership roles work together, how conflicting goals are handled and how expertise is brought together. Looking at the actual decision paths shows where individuals are overloaded and where the organisation needs to clarify things together.

Leadership in transformation

„Leadership only becomes effective when people lead together. What individuals can achieve remains limited if the leadership system as a whole is not geared to the transformation.“

Lasting impact in your company

Connect the leadership system with development

Leadership system development works on roles, committees and decision routines. Leadership development and coaching can support the people within them. Which level comes first depends on the situation. The brief should therefore set out which decisions will be prepared differently in future and how implementation will be tracked day to day.

Choose the right kind of consulting and support

A personal question about one’s role can be addressed in coaching. If several managers are held back by the same decision paths or conflicting expectations, the organisational perspective is needed too. Clarifying the brief connects both levels where they are linked.

Embed shared leadership in everyday work

A new understanding of leadership needs matching ways of working: who brings in the relevant information, how are conflicting goals resolved and what happens after a decision? These questions give both teamwork and individual development a concrete focus.

Separate personal strain from structural problems

Leadership is a shared capability of the organisation. If decisions keep getting stuck with one person, it pays to examine the decision path: what information is missing, which roles are involved and where is the mandate unclear?

Coaching can help a manager reflect on expectations, priorities and their own behaviour. But if the same structure overloads several people, committees, roles or routines need to change. Insights from the market and operations need to reach strategic leadership. An engagement can therefore start with an important pending decision. It shows what support is needed for individuals and what for the organisation.

Administration becomes leadership. Uncertainty becomes direction. Leadership becomes impact.

Frequently asked questions

When does executive coaching help?

When a manager faces a personal question about their role or how to act in a specific situation. Coaching helps them reflect on expectations, priorities and their own behaviour. If several managers are held back by the same decision paths or conflicting expectations, the organisational perspective is needed too. Clarifying the brief connects both levels where they are linked.

When does a company need to work on its leadership system?

When unclear mandates or decision paths repeatedly affect several people. Leadership system development then works on roles, committees and decision routines, while leadership development and coaching support the people involved. In the transformis approach, leadership is an organisational capability: it includes how leadership roles work together, how conflicting goals are handled and how expertise is combined.

Which decision makes a good starting point?

An important pending decision that needs expertise and responsibility to come together. It shows what information is missing, which roles are involved and where the mandate is unclear. Insights from the market and operations need to reach strategic leadership. This reveals what support is needed for individuals and what for the organisation.

What does a leadership engagement deliver?

Clear roles and next steps for the pending decision, plus a personal development brief where needed. The brief sets out which decisions will be prepared differently in future and how implementation will be tracked day to day: who brings in the relevant information, how are conflicting goals resolved and what happens after a decision?

What does the logistics case study show?

In the documented logistics project, an organisational diagnosis was carried out and a new leadership structure adopted. According to the project report, twelve of 13 positions were filled internally during the rollout, and jointly developed leadership principles and a leadership handbook informed by pulse checks were added. After handover, internal teams continued leadership development. The results apply to this case.
