Leadership goes beyond titles, tasks or methods – it is an inner attitude that resides in every one of us, waiting to be awakened.

It makes leadership tangible, accessible and, above all, inspiring.

It combines leadership resources with the inner attitude that makes a leader, all presented in an upbeat, light-hearted style that is ideal for daily use.

The Leadership-Inspirator is aimed at leaders, coaches, consultants, trainers and anyone who wants to take the lead, be it for their own progression or to guide others. Whether you already have leadership experience or are just starting out on your journey, this book offers you:

The Leadership-Inspirator is not only a valuable tool for yourself, but also an inspiring giff for others. It is a source of inspiration that you can share with leaders, colleagues, coachees or friends – a wellspring of fresh ideas that never fails to provide the right words at the right moment.

For instance, you might turn to the Leadership-Inspirator in the morning to kick-start your day, in the evening to cap it off successfully, or in challenging moments when a quick burst of inspiration is urgently needed. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in leadership, be it on a large or a small scale.

The Leadership-Inspirator consists of 3 sets of 63 flip cards, which allow new affirmations to be created time and time again by flicking through and combining the different sentence building blocks.

These affirmations are upliffing, self-empowering statements that steer your thinking and behaviour in a desired direction. They stem from the realisation that beliefs and thoughts can influence not only our behaviour, but also our perception and emotional well-being.

The cards can be used in a variety of ways:

• At random, much like flicking through the pages of a flip book and pausing at any moment. Engage with the cards in a playful manner, be it by yourself or with others. If you have company, you can let them decide when to pause.
• With purpose, by mindfully turning the pages and reading the sentences that emerge.

The leadership affirmations really come into their own when you use them in multiple ways. For example, you could speak them aloud, write them down, sing or hum them, pair them with powerful body language, visualise them or consciously apply them in difficult situations.

In this way, the Leadership-Inspirator becomes an impactful ally that empowers and supports you in your leadership endeavours.

Leadership – by this, we mean any actions through which people actively assume leadership, motivate others and create space for development. This includes self-management in addition to leading and supporting others as part of a leader’s day-to-day management routine, and during coaching and training, and counselling and therapy. Focussing on ‚productivity and the organisational atmosphere‘ – with the organisational atmosphere being the interpersonal component – is essential for sustainable success.

The Spurwechsel-Prinzip® (Spurwechsel-Principle), developed by Spurwechsel, is a systemic concept designed to facilitate the effective shaping of the future. It consists of the following factors of influence: Rollenprofessionalität®, strategy work, feedback culture, a sense of purpose, sustainability, leadership, team and network structures, and digitalisation (a supporting factor).

Rollenprofessionalitä® professionalism in adapting to different spheres) is a model and concept developed by Beatrice Fehling that also includes a description of competencies. The model describes how roles can be internalised as inner attitudes, thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and then consciously activated and deactivated (a process that involves moving in and out of the different spheres). Doing so allows people to actively control the production of adrenaline, which makes it easier to deal with stress. Rollenprofessionalität® was also called ‚Rollenklarheit nach Beatrice Fehling®‘ (role clarity as described by Beatrice Fehling®) in earlier publications.
