Rethinking and Goal Setting in Leadership Management

What it’s all about

The topic of goal setting is inseparable from the foundations of leadership. Leadership is more than simply managing people and resources; it is the art of providing direction in a world of uncertainty and constant change while continuously rethinking one’s approach. In the digital age, where technologies, markets, and social structures are rapidly evolving, leaders must regularly question and adapt their methods and perspectives. Goal setting, as the cornerstone of every leadership strategy, requires a deep engagement with the philosophical, psychological, and psychoanalytic aspects of human behaviour. This article explores the significance of goal setting from these perspectives and highlights why rethinking—systematically re-evaluating concepts and goals—is essential for achieving success and fulfilment in modern leadership.

The Concept

The notion of self-empowerment has always been a central theme in philosophy and psychology, traversing various epochs and schools of thought.

Self-empowerment is more than mere self-determination or freedom of choice. It encompasses the ability to be aware of one’s own possibilities for action, to articulate them clearly, and to implement them through consistent actions. For leaders, the capacity for self-empowerment becomes a key trait, not only in dealing with their own self but also in leading teams and adapting to a constantly changing environment.

Efficiency in Leadership: Balancing Productivity, Creativity and Humanity

The Topic

While the concept of efficiency is primarily economically driven, it has also long held a central place in the disciplines of philosophy and psychology because it touches on how people shape their actions, use their resources, and ultimately view life as a whole. Efficiency is more than merely minimising effort while maximising results; it requires deeper contemplation of how we act in the world, make decisions, and create value. Efficiency demands an understanding of human nature and the philosophical question of the good life. In a way, it is the question of how best to use limited resources, whether they be time, energy, or cognitive capacity.

This article examines these two approaches from a philosophical and psychological perspective and analyses their significance for self-management and team leadership. Finally, we will look at the future relevance of progress thinking in an increasingly digitised and dynamic working world.

Shared Leadership: Achieving Better Results through Distribution?

Introduction

The current leadership culture is undergoing a profound transformation, marked by a shift from hierarchical to collaborative leadership models. Shared Leadership is a concept that reflects this development. It involves the distribution of leadership responsibility within a team, so that not only one individual but several people, or even the entire team, assume leadership tasks. This approach not only has philosophical and psychological dimensions but also significantly impacts self- and leadership management. In an increasingly digital and dynamic work environment, Shared Leadership is gaining importance and is seen as a crucial success factor for leaders.
