Leadership has always been a mirror (expression) of the way in which social and organisational problems were understood and solved. Today, the enormous changes in the global and regional environment are leaving clear traces. Conventional approaches no longer work, the limits of what can be done and influenced have long been reached, problems often remain unrecognized or persist.

The understanding and practice of leadership must be redefined - or at least rethought: the core function of leadership is to master complexity. Designing, controlling and developing purpose-oriented, social, productive, living systems. The core question of leadership is: How can organisations (systems) be organised in such a way that they organise themselves, stabilise themselves - and at the same time remain adaptable?

The general management model is the fundamental model of business. It depicts the organisation as a system embedded in a larger system, the environment. It also depicts the interrelationships between an organisation's strategy, structure and culture - and the central role that leaders play in developing, understanding and managing these fundamental elements of business. It shows the manager's responsibility in relation to the strategy, structure and culture within the organisation.

Complex challenges are not solved by simple, linear methods. Reflexively falling back on tried and tested solutions is no longer enough to secure the future.

Dynamics are changing the way strategies have to be formulated today: The demand for good strategies is becoming more operational, short-term and flexible and at the same time more fundamental, long-term and framework-oriented. This balancing act requires a new type of strategy work.
