"Personal, Useful, Skuriles and Everyday from my world as an Executive Coach and leadership Trainer"

Management task 1 - Effectively delegate

With this series, I would like executives to be a "refresher" of the most important Führungstools. Why?
the
My experience as Executive Coach always shows me that, despite the years of successful work, even highly doped top managers again and again Basic-error.
the
Although this is humanly understandable, but a pity, because it all Involved in the work unnecessarily difficult.
the
To me, it is the one and only goal, dear readers, in your everyday management a little easier to make!
the
The beginning of this series makes the well-known Führungsthema "Effectively delegate".
the
Although there are actually all executives and managers know: With the ability to delegate stands and falls not only their own Work-Life Balance. Rather, it is THE possibility, at all management levels of employees. Therefore, here again the most important points of effective Delegation at a glance.

Delegate increases Motivation
you can basically three things to delegate. Tasks, functions and projects. These are increasingly demanding. Increasingly sophisticated tasks successfully, promotes both the skills as well as the Motivation of your employees.
the
Tasks are rather simple activities, for example, an inventory list to create. Functions are a bit more difficult tasks, such as the accounting Department to create. In a further step, does anybody get this function to be delegated, and is then completely responsible for it.
the
Projects are still larger and more complex tasks, such as the search for an external Buchhaltungsfirma. The Person entrusted to look appropriate companies, seeking the best, discuss everything, makes the contract and is then connected to that company. the
the
Let employees so first of all, tasks, functions, and then projects. So, you can allow your employees to prove their worth and to improve.

2. Priorities has Top-priority!
Conscious, intense Thinking consumes a daily limited resource of mental Aufmerksamkeitsenergie and therefore must be in a perfectly fit state to take place
the
3. Reduction of the topics: Multitasking does not work!
More than a topic in the head leads to a massive limitation of the quality of work. The permanent change between different tasks consumes energy and concentration. the

4. Reduction of interference

Interference from the outside must be sensitive-be identified and immediately maximally reduced.

Pareto efficiency - A Tool for perfectionists

Problem
Many executives spend too much time on it, a Problem is perfect solution. But they forget that a less perfect result, the needs are also covered would have.
the
Pareto hypothesis
The Perfect solution is not always the best choice!
the
origin and principle
The Pareto principle is based on the Italian scientist Vilfredo Pareto back in the outgoing second half of the 19th century. Century following observation was made: In the case of investigations...

....the distribution patterns of the of Italy's national wealth made Pareto the discovery that approximately 80 percent of a's national wealth to about 20 percent of the population of Italy accounted for. 80 percent of the population held the remaining 20 percent of the's national wealth.
the
banks should primarily this 20 % of people care and a lot of their orders would be backed up.
the
This leads to the Pareto principle. It States that many tasks with a funding of about 20 % so you can do that up to 80 % of all problems will be solved
the
scope
The Pareto principle applies to many processes in Economics, Ecology and sociology. More generally, it States, that, with a little Input (time, resources, effort) is a large part of the available Outputs (success, money, reward, time savings, etc) can be realized.
the
Practical application
1. you can Define whether the task "the perfect solution". Keep in mind that the perfect solution is often not possible, because the circumstances anyway to permanently change.
the
2. Mnimieren the effort by itself already after a relatively short time, satisfied with the result. It needs courage! But be flexible, if necessary, intervene in and, where appropriate, nachzukorrigieren.

 

Communication Training - Bewerbungsinterview

It always comes back that we have in our communication training be asked to a customer regarding Bewerbungsinterview to coach. the
the
There are highly specialized...
 

...Career Coaches, the fachkompetenter and especially in more complex cases the better points of contact are  as we Kaspar Consulting. the
the
For a few tips & Tricks, which is already a noticeable difference can make (!) we want to give you, however, like to pass on our experiences. the
the
It is true, namely, in each Bewerbungsinterview a few simple but nothing more, despite  neuralgic points to note. the
the
Below are seven tips for your success:
the
1. Be energetic and positive attitude!
do you Practice to your own emotional Top Form to retrieve. No matter what qualifications you have: it is Essential that you at the time of the interview to the point motivated to appear and the Interviewer be able to convey that your future tasks successfully.
the
2. In der Kürze liegt die Würze
Bring yourself and your Person always to the point. This proves own clarity and bored the Interviewer is not.
the
3. Dress perfectly!

Have you  ever experienced? You dress up for an occasion and behave with ease as usual. Clothes make the same people. Therefore, it makes no sense, the Bewerbungsinterview on the occasion of selbstdarstellerischer extravagance. "Perfect" does not mean over - and not underdressed, but situationsadäquat!


4. Tell you interesting stories about yourself!
You will with a high probability of your previous activity asked. It is much more effective if you have a specific story to tell than if you only list the areas in which up to now have worked.
the
5. You answer questions not clichéd!
Tell you your own personal experiences instead of boring phrases. People want to work with people who are easily comprehensible. That's why we all, whether consciously or unconsciously, have an aversion to anything Clichéd.
the
6. Difficult Questions – Short Answer!
In the tendency to respond Vice versa: In the case of difficult questions, we try to often be differentiated to respond in detail to argue. The sounds on justification and works uncertain. So my tip: If you have a question feel safe to tell you quiet a lot. In the case of difficult questions, keep it short.

7. "Do you still have any questions for us?"

Make on this question is the clarification: "Faith you that I have this Job successfully can fulfill?" This small but fine question gives you the possibilities, open points and / or confusion on the part of the interviewer to clarify. It also demonstrates the courage to question and interest: This can be the Match-be decisive!
the
What is important is always to ensure that you as a Person with a positive impression of interest.

 

Communication Training - The Feedback Conversations

Interviews are sometimes difficult. In the following section very briefly a few pointers of how to constructively give Feedback.

the
Criticism and praise is always carried out only with respect to the behavior of the employee and not with regard to his "Being". The integrity of the personality must always be respected! the
