C11/52: Too many tasks, too little time? Practice to say NO in this situation. Especially be aware of your team's workload this week! Feel free to share experience with #LDSC19. #leadership. BP.

C12/52: As a leader, you'll probsbly have regular team meetings. Include the item IMPROVEMENT on your agenda and ask your team for improvement ideas. Feel free to share experience and comments with #LDSC19. #leadership

C14/52: Train your #empathy in #leadership. Why you, as a leader, should care about this? We earn money, by selling products and solutions ... these are results of processes and ... these are followed by "PEOPLE!" #LDSC19

C15/52: Develop your team by discussing desirable characteristics of a potential new employee. The theory is, that thinking about desired characteristics will unconsciously stimulate the same qualities in the existing team. #LDSC19 #leadership

C16/52: Conduct a #retrospective with your team. Retrospectives can extract quick and easy #LessonsLearned from what is happening in the project. Identify small, but valuable improvements by having retrospectives frequently. #LDSC19

C18/52: Try a Happiness Door to get quick feedback from your team. Credits for this quick and powerful little method go to Jurgen Appelo and Management 3.0. See: management30.com/practice/happi…

C19/52: Talk Vision with your Team! Striving for a joint vision, Control&Command will be replaced by effektive collaboration. - Do you have a clear vision? - Did you ever discuss your vision with your team? - Did you ever discuss your vision with your boss? No? - Try it!

C20//52: Let your team decide! How can you realize high alignment and high autonomy at the same time? Leaders striving for high alignment and high autonomy care about the WHAT and WHY, while letting the team figure out the HOW. #LDSC19 #leadership #digitalleadership

C21/52: Take a look back with your team: What worked out WELL last month? By celebrating your successes, you'll strengthen your self-confidence and tackle challenges more courageously in the future. #LDSC19 #Leadership

Do you have ideas for new #LeadershipChallenge.s? In the core team of this @LDSC19 today we started planning #LDSC20 Siemens. We'll invite for submission of Ideas internally on Yammer and here on Twitter. Posted ideas as a comment to this post are highly appreciated. #ldsc19

C22/52: Lead by praise, not criticism! This will help the team to develop strengths. -> Strengthen Strengths -> weaken weaknesses How do you implement this? Share with #LDSC19 #leadership

C23/52: Consult a Coach! Take the challenge flexible, but take action! Consult a coach, or: Consult somebody! And talk about your leadership. I believe the biggest treasure is within our proximity. We just need to open up for joint learning. #LDSC19 #LeadershipDevelopment

C24/52: Boost an employee and put your team in the spotlight! Representation shall be subject to expertise, not always team lead. Encouragement to represent topics with key stakeholders will emphasize your trust and acknowledgement within your team. #LDSC19 #leadership

C26/52: Listen to your team and remove what annoys them. Why? Because annoying things distract the attention from meaningful things. :-) Looking forward to read some annoying things that are removed this week! Sometimes this can be very small things that do have a huge impact!

C27/52: Its about being authentic! In a hierarchical organization there are situations were a leader knows more than employees. In this situations it is even harder to stick to your claims and promises. At the same time this challenge is even more important to stick to!

C28/52: This week is hard. Reflecting about yourself is the hardest thing on earth. There are many ways how you get started. Starting with actively getting feedback from your team via different methods. Maybe look also into #mindfullness ...

LeadershipChallenge 29/52: It's about Innovation! Innovation is accelerated when people have a platform to talk to each other. An Innovation Lab can help!

LeadershipChallenge 30/52: This week: Be always on time! The fun in this challenge is: Be aware that being on time is seen very differently based on the culture you grow up in.

LeadershipChallenge 31/52: Purpose motivates! The one thing that really motivates people in the long term is to have a meaningful purpose! So this week work on making the purpose of your team transparent.
