Every leader needs someone to challenge their thinking. As a CEO, it's easy to end up in a feedback vacuum. You make decisions, set the direction, and bear responsibility.  But who holds up a mirror to you, when success becomes loud? Great leaders never stop learning. They simply choose better teachers. A good mentor helps you recognize blind spots, broaden your vision, and stay grounded in difficult times. They ask questions instead of giving ready-made answers and help you

Growth doesn't come from what feels easy. It comes from what tests your patience, your self-confidence, and your resilience. Pain is like strength training for leaders. The more you face it, the stronger you become. As a leader, you can't avoid pain. Every courageous decision, every risk, every honest conversation stretches you beyond your comfort zone. When you learn to accept pain instead of resisting it, real transformation begins. Pain strengthens your resilience and clar

It is not constant monitoring that ensures the quality of work, but trust. This creates excellence in teams. It's not about controlling everything yourself, but about empowering the right people to take responsibility. Empowerment means placing trust before it is “earned” and opening up decision-making spaces instead of closing them. The result: teams that not only work, but also think for themselves, and motivation that grows out of genuine personal responsibility. When empl

As a leader, you make decisions every day. Today, choose Day One, the moment when you take action instead of waiting for the perfect moment. One day or Day One. You decide! Many wait for "the right moment" – Day X. Which will never come. The best leaders act now, create momentum, and provide guidance. And they do so regardless of whether they are still uncertain or not. Ask yourself a specific question today: What is your personal Day One? Maybe a short feedback conversation,

You lead in a challenging environment characterized by speed, pressure, and constant availability. Few things are as obvious as this paradox: the more you commit to growth, the more important your own well-being becomes. In leadership, health is the foundation of all strategies, innovations, and team cultures. When you are exhausted, you lack the energy to make clear decisions that will move your team forward. An exhausted leader cannot create an inspiring environment. An ove

Images move your mind more powerfully than words. Why? They activate more areas of the brain, arouse emotions, and create clear goals in your memory, which reduces the cognitive load when making decisions. You will notice how decisions are made faster and your focus remains stable. This makes visualization your leadership tool. A personal mood board, for example, reminds you daily of your vision, values, and goals. Appealingly placed images, quotes, and symbols reflect your l

I notice it in conversations with managers: perfection is very much in vogue. But true strength is shown when we deal openly with uncertainties. When you are authentic, you signal to your team to do the same. This builds trust, which is a prerequisite for courage and genuine loyalty. Openness about uncertainties creates clarity and encourages honest feedback. At the next team meeting, share a relevant uncertainty and explain why it is important to communicate it. Formulate a

They follow inspiration. Numbers, strategies, KPIs – all of these are important. But true motivation doesn't come from data alone, it comes from meaning. When you inspire as a CEO, you create direction, trust, and a willingness to excel. Inspiration is reflected in your daily attitude: a clear vision, genuine listening, and concrete tactics for how your team can become stronger every day. Live out your own passion for being a role model as a leader. Inspiring leaders create a

...is living in constant fear that we will make one. John C. Maxwell sums it up perfectly. I notice time and time again that true leadership does not come from perfection, but from the courage to make decisions, take risks, and learn from setbacks. Many of us are so focused on avoiding mistakes that we stifle progress and hold ourselves back. I have learned that mistakes are not a weakness, but a help. In my role, you quickly realize that a growth mindset wins more than a fla

Until they know how much you care. Many leaders believe that knowledge, strategies, and experience determine the course of action. That's true, of course, but true leadership only comes into play when you show that you are listening, understanding, and genuinely caring for your team.  Only when your employees feel that they are being seen will they open up to your expertise and follow you even in challenging times. My tips for everyday business life: Build relationships, ask

It's because of you! I see it time and time again: many CEOs look for the reason for stagnation outside their company. The market is tough, the competition is too strong, times are too uncertain. And yet the truth is often more uncomfortable: It's not the economy that's holding you back. It's not the competition that's slowing you down. It's your mindset! Your business will only grow as far as your thinking, your standards, and your vision allow. Change your mindset – and you

You lead people, not just plans. Change happens constantly – yet you remain true to your vision while picking up the pace. This way, changes won't throw you off track. You stay clear about your direction while remaining flexible in your approach. Your adaptability helps you deliver results even in changing circumstances, which reinforces confidence in you and your leadership skills. You see opportunities where others see only obstacles and guide the team safely through change

You are never miles away from success – often only 1%. When plans fail, it feels overwhelming. But the solution rarely lies in a radical new beginning, but rather in a minimal shift. We talk about grand visions and transformation, but most of the time, the breakthrough can be found in small, conscious adjustments. An open conversation with an employee, a small change in the daily routine, a moment of genuine listening instead of immediate talking. These mini-decisions add up

Many people don't practice discipline because pain is unpleasant. Getting up early, following through on decisions, maintaining routines, even when it's difficult. But there is an even greater pain: that of regret. The feeling of having missed opportunities, the knowledge that you could have achieved more, looking back and thinking “What if...”. As a leader, you choose today and every day: Do you bear the small pain of discipline – or later the big pain of regret? Your takeaw
