Primal Leadership – It’s not brand new but top relevant for leaders of Generation-Z-Teams

by Gabriele Wittendorfer

„Emotional Intelligence is the fundament for successful leadership“. Coming back to the four dimensions of Goleman’s model we listen to exactly the concepts we heavily discuss nowadays:

• Self-awarenes
• Self-management
• Social awareness
• Relationship management

Here we are. The current journeys to organise work in balance with the needs of young professionals and customers in a VUCA world will go on. Virtual teams, fluid organisations, network economy? There will not be a final, new standard way to work because the bulk of standardised work will – sooner or later – be done by machines.

But as long as people are part of the working processes (whatever type they will belong to) leaders have to sense, know and manage themselves for better sensing, knowing and managing others.
