Rethinking: PERMA-Lead – Why Leadership Requires a Radical Shift in Perspective

„Engaged teams outperform managed ones.“

The Rethinking Impulse as a RethinkAudio – Listen. Reflect. Analyze. Advance.

Leadership has evolved significantly over the past decades, yet one paradigm stubbornly persists: the belief that leadership is primarily about control, setting targets, and incentivising performance. PERMA-Lead, a concept derived from Martin Seligman’s PERMA model of well-being, is often misinterpreted as a soft, almost therapeutic leadership approach designed merely to create a pleasant work environment. However, this perception constitutes one of the greatest misunderstandings surrounding PERMA-Lead – and underscores the urgent necessity for a profound rethinking.

The Rethinking Leader Saturday Insight: Are you leading yourself with the same care and clarity you expect from your team?

In the relentless pace of modern leadership, it’s easy to focus outward — on team performance, results, and organizational goals — while neglecting the foundation of all effective leadership: your own self-leadership. Future-ready leadership doesn’t begin in the conference room; it begins in the mirror.

The Invisible Chain: Why We Believe We Must Always Be Available

The Rethinking Leader Friday Insight: Is your leadership cultivating resilience – or perpetuating stress?

In an era where speed, relentless productivity, and perpetual availability are often glorified as hallmarks of success, resilience is widely misunderstood. Too many leaders reduce resilience to a personal competency – a kind of individual endurance athleteship, where the goal is to simply “hold up” under mounting pressure. This is a fundamental misreading. True resilience is not forged in isolation; it is architected collectively – a product of cultural design, not just personal grit.

Misconceptions, Misinterpretations, and Toxic Mindsets Surrounding Leadership and Learning

The prevailing notion that leadership is primarily about delegating tasks, enforcing objectives, and monitoring work processes is deeply ingrained in many corporate cultures. Countless executives perceive themselves as organisers, as the structural backbone of an enterprise, whose principal duty is to optimise processes and maximise outcomes.

„Von oberflächlicher Struktur- und Prozesskosmetik zu tiefgreifender Denkwende.“

Worum es geht

In einer Zeit, in der sich das Gesundheitswesen rasant verändert und die Anforderungen an Hausarzt- und Facharztpraxen stetig steigen, braucht es neue Antworten auf die Frage, wie eine Praxis optimal geführt wird. Klassische Praxisberatungen stoßen hier zunehmend an ihre Grenzen – sie liefern Checklisten, Optimierungspläne und Kennzahlen, greifen aber selten die tieferliegenden Denk- und Verhaltensmuster auf, die das tägliche Handeln in Praxen prägen. Genau hier setzt der Rethinking-Ansatz auf der Basis eines Praxismanagement-Benchmarkings an – mit der R2A-Formel als Herzstück eines vollkommen neuen Beratungs- und Entwicklungsmodells.

The Rethinking Leader Thursday Insight: Are you mastering complexity – or is complexity quietly mastering you?

In a framework increasingly defined by volatility, interconnectivity, and profound uncertainty, the capacity to navigate complexity has become a hallmark of enlightened leadership. And yet, countless leaders remain ensnared in outdated cognitive frameworks — seeking deceptively simple answers to inherently intricate questions, clinging to the comforting illusion that clear-cut chains of cause and effect will suffice to govern complexity.
