Was ist Not Knowing Leadership?

How can you not know something and still dare to move ahead? The ability to competently deal with the unknown is perhaps THE relevant leadership competence of the future

Wachsende Komplexität geht zwangsläufig mit Nichtwissen einher. Machen Sie sich das zunutze: Hören Sie auf sich als Führungskraft ausschließlich auf ihr Expertenwissen zu verlassen und entwickeln Sie mithilfe der Not Knowing Leadership Methode eine einzigartige und kompetente Beziehung mit dem Unbekannten.

Leading through Not Knowing

You are called upon to do something new in the field of leadership and leadership and to venture into an unknown no man's land. There are no precedents here and with the traditional questions you will not find any answers here. Your trust and competence are scrutinised daily.

On the edge of the unknown, it can sometimes be very uncomfortable for us. From a neurological point of view, we prefer to avoid such situations because we feel most comfortable in the familiar - and the unknown can trigger insecurity, anger, fear and defense mechanisms.

How about you expand your mindset in such a way that you can spontaneously see the unknown as a chance?

Problem 1: Learning and developing are not the same

When dealing with complexity and uncertainty, you as a manager must acquire new skills as quickly as possible. You learn to use agile techniques or tools. Soweit, so gut.

Problem: Insbesondere unter Druck werden Sie vermutlich dazu neigen, in alte Verhaltensmuster zurückzufallen. Denn das reine Erlernen neuer Fähigkeiten bedeutet noch lange nicht, dass Sie sich entwickelt haben!

Die Notwendigkeit, sich zu verändern und zu verbessern, wird oft missverstanden als die Notwendigkeit, die größere Komplexität der Welt besser zu “bewältigen”. Das Bewältigen beinhaltet nämlich das Hinzufügen neuer Fähigkeiten oder die Erweiterung des Repertoires an Verhaltensweisen.

Problem: Sie bleiben dabei die gleiche Person, die Sie waren, bevor Sie gelernt haben, damit umzugehen.

Sie haben lediglich einige neue Fertigkeiten hinzugefügt.

Problem 2: War for talents

Executives who for example respond to the 'War for Talents' exclusively by searching 'out there' create serious disadvantages for themselves and their organizations.

This strategy will not work in the future because the number of suitable applicants is limited. And if nothing changes in your overall attractiveness as an employer, you will simply not attract the employees you need.

Problem 3: Mehr unbekannte Variablen als je zuvor

The increasing unpredictability of your tasks indicates that you, as a leader, have to deal with so-called "unknowns", ie unknown variables. still, you need to make decisions of relevance on issues where no one has ever found a solution before.
The ability to competently deal with the unknown is perhaps THE relevant leadership competence of the future.

The Not Knowing Leadership method

What will make your leadership different and successful in the future?

Not Knowing Leadership empowers you to truly develop and not waste time just learning new things.

Together we transform your understanding and your relationship to ignorance. Ignorance turns from anxious weakness and ignorance into a sought-after and necessary skill that you feel comfortable with and work with to continue to be successful in the future.
