Leadership is changing. Terms such as New Management, New Work and New Leadership are no longer just buzzwords, but are increasingly being put into practice. As a result, work culture is not only undergoing a major process of change in line with digital developments, but more and more people are appreciating and focusing on a good work culture. Companies see themselves challenged to consciously shape or reshape this accordingly in order not to lose their attractiveness. New Leadership is embedded in this trend in that leadership is no longer based on the classic top-down principle, where the boss gives orders and the employees are merely executors. Instead, the aim of a manager in New Leadership is to accompany and empower people. They ensure that an environment or framework is created in which employees can exchange ideas in a targeted manner and thus develop. New leaders support their employees in recognizing their own skills and strengths and using them accordingly. This makes them more motivated, more satisfied, more creative and more loyal. In times of dynamic change, this is of central importance.

The admission requirements for New Leadership training are not uniformly regulated by the federal government, but can vary from provider to provider.

In order to be able to take part in a New Leadership course at a university of applied sciences, for example, a university degree and relevant professional experience on the subject are usually required. Other educational paths can often be recognized via the sur dossier route, i.e. through an individual assessment of the personal background.

New Leadership training teaches you leadership skills that are in high demand in times of digital developments and changes in management style and work culture. A classic management style based on the top-down principle is becoming increasingly outdated; what is needed are managers with the skills and competencies to encourage employees to empower themselves and take responsibility, or to motivate them to recognize their strengths and use them skilfully.

With New Leadership training, you can demonstrate your knowledge and position yourself professionally against the competition.

The learning content of a New Leadership training course is put together by the respective provider and can therefore vary. The following topics are often addressed and dealt with:

• Leadership 4.0
• Innovation culture
• Future world of work
• Corporate culture goes digital
• Leadership and motivation
• Leadership in crises
• New Work

The duration of a New Leadership course depends on the provider and the scope of the course and can therefore vary (greatly).

A CAS course usually lasts 1 semester. In-school certificate courses can last from a few days to several weeks, rarely months. It is best to contact the provider of your choice directly.
