Leadership

Aspiring Leaders - my first 100 days in a Leadership Role

With the TU Wien ACE, we offer state-of-the-art knowledge transfer in the field of leadership & management in a compact format, with practical relevance & academic focus. The 3-day program Aspiring Leaders provides participants with valuable knowledge from the intersection of professional leadership expertise X leadership mindset:

A successful business strategy is always linked to the right mindset of the leader. Both in terms of individual development as a leader, as well as for the collective interaction in the team and in the company itself. The new concept "the value chain of leadership" (Univ. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Güttel, Dr. Astrid Kleinhanns-Rollé) shows strategic and future-oriented handlings for (future) leaders, brings inspiration for the own everyday life as a team leader and input for the regular exchange with the own employees.

Young Leaders & aspiring leaders looking for exchange & inspiration

With our Aspiring Leaders program, we offer young executives the opportunity to get to know and define their own (new) role in the field of management & leadership and to sharpen it for future challenges.

The short program offers know-how in a time-optimized framework. In addition to getting to know current methods and concepts from the areas of management & leadership, practice-relevant examples are worked on in the group, illuminated differently based on the individual experiences of the participants and discussed together. The special feature of the retreat are varied in- & outdoor team challenges, which contribute to a unique, unforgettable experience in a trusting framework.
