Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

Leadership 4.0 is derived from the concept of the fourth industrial revolution, i.e. Industry 4.0. It is primarily characterized by the digital transformation, i.e. the digitalization of processes and the increasing networking of man and machine. There are also new trends such as artificial intelligence with its autonomous systems.

Such trends not only have an impact on industry, they are also changing the world of work and the management style. This office revolution is increasingly moving away from traditional hierarchical thinking - instead, teamwork and soft skills such as creativity, flexibility and empathy are in demand. In the area of leadership, Leadership 4.0 means leadership behavior that meets the requirements of the digital world. It is no longer just about managing employees according to a recipe (in line with the top-down principle); the aim is to motivate them, identify their strengths and promote them. The aim is to create a creative and innovative environment in order to offer conditions for efficient and meaningful work. The term Leadership 4.0 attempts to encompass these changes, which move away from a strongly hierarchically controlled management style.

Managers are challenged in the digital age of Leadership 4.0! They cannot rely on old ways of thinking, and the requirements are also becoming increasingly demanding. For example, the option to work from home is now almost mandatory and no longer an option to stand out from the competition as an employer. The scientific concept of Leadership 4.0 covers the following points:

  • Transparency: It must be ensured that everyone knows what they have to do. The necessary resources are made available for this purpose.
  • Trust: A trusting relationship with employees forms the basis.
  • Letting go: Say goodbye to hierarchical structures. The focus should increasingly be on project-oriented work.
  • Participation: Employees should be involved in the company's development. Their feedback is very valuable and should be incorporated into the improvement measures.
  • Networking: All digital options such as social media, blogs or wikis can be used for this purpose.
  • Enthusiasm: Passion is contagious! Showing enthusiasm openly also motivates others.

In Leadership 4.0 training, participants learn what it means to lead in a contemporary way and to avoid unnecessary pressure and inappropriate control. Instead, they learn to focus on the personal strengths and weaknesses of employees, to encourage them in this respect and also to motivate them to contribute their ideas. They learn to see employee diversity not as a threat, but as an opportunity and thus to lead the team to peak performance.

Questions and answers

Leadership 4.0 training provides you with up-to-date and highly sought-after knowledge, skills and abilities relating to appropriate leadership in the digital age and changing work culture. It is therefore quite possible that your chances of a pay rise will increase with a correspondingly convincing degree.

The salary or salary development depends on various factors. These include the:

  • Industry
  • Region
  • Size of the company
  • Professional practice and experience
  • Previous education
  • Age

Since the coronavirus pandemic at the latest, more and more schools have been offering different teaching formats for their educational programs: Face-to-face teaching, hybrid teaching, online teaching, blended learning, etc.

Which teaching formats are offered for Leadership 4.0 training depends heavily on the provider and can therefore vary. It is best to contact the school of your choice directly.

In a working world that is characterized by a digital and increasingly work-life balance-inspired work culture, the management level and management styles are also facing new challenges that require a corresponding change. Managers who are at the top of the hierarchy and give orders to their employees from this position is now an outdated principle. New leadership styles, which are described by the terms Leadership 4.0, New Leadership or Innovative Leadership, rely more on flat hierarchies. Managers are no longer just giving orders, but are responsible for motivating their employees by promoting their strengths and skills and creating space for creativity and innovation.

Only limited "instructions" on how Leadership 4.0 can be implemented practically and in a way that suits the company can be derived from previous thought patterns. Leadership 4.0 training not only offers space to share experiences with others, but also highlights current topics and trends and teaches the necessary skills and competencies.

The topic of leadership is becoming increasingly important in the context of digital developments and the rapidly changing work culture. The traditional management style based on the top-down principle is becoming increasingly outdated and no longer meets the current challenges and tasks of managers.

Leadership 4.0, as a scientific concept, offers a remedy here by addressing leadership in the digital age. The aim is to involve customers and employees more closely in digital structures, while at the same time enabling greater flexibility and networking.

Leadership 4.0 aims to achieve long-term corporate success with a management style that is adapted to digital developments and the situation on the labor market.

Managers who act in line with Leadership 4.0 are characterized by the following skills and personality traits:

  • Open team management in which, for example, there is a good flow of information and competent employees are given more responsibility
  • Open-mindedness towards new ideas, feedback and suggestions are welcome
  • Motivating employees with your own enthusiasm
  • Sound communication and conflict management skills, open to discussions and potential for improvement
  • Challenging and encouraging employees by supporting them in their strengths and abilities
  • Open error culture in the sense that the focus is not on the person behind the error, but on finding out how errors can be prevented as a team

A large number of leadership training courses are CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) courses, but by no means all of them. A large number of training courses are certificate courses offered by schools, courses leading to Federal Professional Examination (AFPE), Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) or the diploma of a College of Higher Education. Other training courses are also available, such as postgraduate studies in Higher Education (NDS-CHE). And that is exactly what a CAS is, a postgraduate course of study at a University of Applied Sciences. This also means that these certificate courses are primarily aimed at people who already have a university degree or comparable training, who have many years of sound experience in leadership and who are prepared to undergo intensive, in-service leadership training, usually over the course of one semester. A CAS is therefore a continuing education, further training course for managers who want to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills on a very specific topic, for example in CAS Corporate Responsibility / Social Management or Transcultural Communication.

The CAS Innovative Management and Development continuing education course consists of modules and a study trip to Silicon Valley. The modules cover preparation and introduction, innovation drivers in global competition, technologies and innovations, innovative positioning on global markets and value creation potential and opportunities. There is also a future workshop and wrap-up with a transfer presentation, topic and company visions. Topics of continuing education, further training include a workshop with CISCO Systems, Industry 4.0, agility, megatrends of the coming years, management and leadership significance and innovative leadership.
