Our Approach to Leadership and Coaching

We take on different disciplines and approaches regarding leadership development and coaching in all of our services.

Our perspective on leadership is based on the holistic and comprehensive approach of Gestalt psychology. According to this perspective, we exist in four levels at all times: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual (Meaning-seeking level). Fulfillment in life is possible only when all four dimensions are honored. Therefore, we aim to support leaders in taking each dimension in consideration in all of their decisions and actions.

On the other hand, theories on leadership generally position leaders into the center of their thinking and focus on developing the leader. However, we believe that leadership is more than the leader. It is equally important to have followers, a context that share and build together, a shared purpose; and all of these to work collectively in a healthy dynamic. Only then we would able to talk about real leadership. In that perspective, we design our leadership development and coaching programs with a systemic approach, aiming to comprehend the system as a whole.

For us, leadership is a journey towards the inside, as well as being an outward one. Therefore it is highly important for leaders to realize their impact on the system and be able to shape the impact they want to create intentionally and consciously.

In this process, we see leadership development as a journey evolving from expert leadership to transformational leadership. We believe that reaching up to the next step would only be possible with embracing, containing and surpassing the ones below.
