A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill

What it’s all about

The relentless march of digitalisation and automation, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), presents profound challenges for leaders, not merely in terms of their role, but in the entire relationship between humans and machines. “AI Leadership” signifies leadership in a world where artificial intelligence becomes an integral part of decision-making processes.

A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill

What it’s all about

In an ever-evolving professional landscape, leaders are increasingly expected not only to operate at a strategic level but also to recognise and harness the dynamics and potential of the everyday. The term Microleadership encapsulates this approach, where the leader plays a crucial role in the small, daily interactions with their team. Microleadership demands a shift in mindset – rethinking – where leadership is no longer solely about grand decisions and long-term strategies, but about moments of attention, small gestures of appreciation, and subtle adjustments in the daily rhythm of work.

Rethinking Leadership: The Dark Triad – Insights and Self-Assessment

A Rethinking Impulse by Klaus-Dieter Thill

The Core Issue

One such phenomenon is the so-called “Dark Triad,” comprising three interconnected yet destructive personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.
