The Management development is becoming increasingly important in today's working world. Companies are faced with the challenge of developing their managers not only professionally but also personally in order to fulfil the complex requirements. Particularly in times of change, managers need new impetus and strategies that go far beyond traditional training programmes. The ninth step of the KIROI approach shows how the Management development to develop individual potential and enable sustainable success.
Leadership development: sustainable methods and approaches
Traditional formats such as seminars and workshops continue to be important components of the Management development. Training courses on topics such as agile project management, emotional intelligence and communication teach technical and social skills. However, practice shows that pure knowledge input is not enough. Companies therefore often supplement this with:
- Mentoring programmes in which experienced managers pass on their knowledge directly, thereby enabling an exchange of ideas at eye level.
- Coaching that responds to individual challenges and promotes customised skills.
- Job rotation as a practice-orientated method that offers managers experience in different areas of the company and thus strengthens their understanding of complex processes.
Especially in large companies such as Siemens or Lufthansa, the combination of these methods is used to provide comprehensive support and practical development for managers[1][3][6].
Practical impulses through transruption coaching
The KIROI step 9 positions transruption coaching as a key support in the Management development. This coaching format provides managers with targeted support in the realisation of specific projects and challenges. The result is not theoretical concepts without practical benefits, but active support in everyday working life. The following areas of application are examples:
- Integration of digital management tools into everyday team life
- Development of new leadership skills in dealing with hybrid working models
- Reflection on conflict and change situations in the management environment
This practice-orientated support not only promotes personal development, but also creates space for new perspectives and creative solutions. Managers often report that transruption coaching gives them impetus that they can use directly in their team[5][8].
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) Through transruptions coaching, a medium-sized company was able to enable its managers to manage complex change processes based on real project tasks. The participants learnt to use digital tools competently, to lead their teams in a motivating manner and to recognise conflicts at an early stage and use them productively. This led to increased agility and a noticeable improvement in collaboration at all levels.
Concrete examples of effective leadership development from various industries
The challenges facing managers and their development paths are diverse across all industries. Below are some practical examples that illustrate how companies support their managers:
- technology sector: A global IT group regularly integrates action learning projects. Managers work on real innovation tasks while strengthening their strategic and communication skills at the same time[6].
- Automotive industry: One manufacturer makes intensive use of mentoring programmes in which managers from different plants exchange experiences and pass on sustainable leadership impulses[2].
- Healthcare: Organisations support their management level with customised coaching sessions to improve employee motivation during intensive change processes and at the same time strengthen self-reflection[4].
These examples show how diverse and targeted Management development can be designed to meet the individual requirements of the industry and organisation.
Recommendations for action for sustainable development
For companies that want to rethink their management development, the following steps can serve as guidelines:
- Carry out systematic potential analyses on the individual strengths and development profile of managers.
- Implement a combination of formal training, practical tasks and personal support through coaching or mentoring.
- Create a continuous feedback culture in order to regularly reflect on learning progress.
- Utilise technological tools such as digital learning platforms for flexible further training.
- Use innovative formats such as transruption coaching to accompany managers in real work situations.
These measures help to understand development as an ongoing process that is orientated towards the individual goals of managers and the strategic requirements of the company[9][10][15].
My analysis
The modern Management development benefits from a holistic approach that combines traditional learning formats with innovative and practical methods. In particular, transruption coaching helps to support managers in their individual practical environment and thus facilitate sustainable change. KIROI's nine-step approach shows how a variety of tools and new perspectives can help to meet the high demands of a dynamic working environment. Companies that take this step create a professional and future-orientated management culture.
