COMPANIES IN CRISIS -BOSSES IN RESPONSIBILITY
18.04.2020
The crisis destroys sales, sales markets, cost structures - it endangers the existence of companies, jobs and human existence. This crisis, like any other crisis, threatens our social security and changes our interpersonal behavior.
For every hazard, for every reaction and countermeasure, you need a special kind of manager in times of crisis: specialists who keep money together, raise the necessary capital, reduce costs, optimize processes or restructure or even liquidate companies - if necessary. These are inevitable measures to save the whole thing.
HEADHUNTING FOR PRIVATE EQUITY PORTFOLIO COMPANIES
07.02.2020
The new challenge
Almost all executive and supervisory boards of group companies write in their public agenda that HR quality and succession planning is their top priority. There is hardly a homepage or a vision/value statement that does not focus on the importance of the employees.
“Even executives have a seismic sense of what is expected of them. They will therefore always behave in the way that is expected of them."
However, the directors of these companies only very rarely have the opportunity to consistently implement the HR quality of their organization as the top priority.
A BAD HIRE AND WHAT DOES IT COST A COMPANY
19.11.2019
What exactly is a "bad hire"? A bad hire describes somebody who negatively impacts the productivity, efficiency, performance and culture of an organisation, as well as someone who only remains with the organisation for a short period of time or generally speaking it’s a person who's not right for the company culture.
EXECUTIVE SEARCH UND CULTURAL FIT
11.09.2019
The culture of collaboration, the cultural fit, is the natural glue that holds an organization together and determines how stable, innovative and adaptable it is - and this is exactly the catalyst for significant customer loyalty, product innovation, agility and profitable growth.
The cultural fit quantifies the degree of correspondence between the existing corporate culture and the wishes of an employee or a potential executive. As a company, you can hire the right executives or, on the contrary, consciously look for personnel who, due to different ideas, will definitely contribute to a cultural change.
"CULTURE EATS STRATEGY FOR BREAKFAST"- OR WHY CORPORATE CULTURE MUST BE MEASURABLE
01.07.2019
The legendary statement by Peter F. Drucker, the pioneer of modern management consulting, gets to the heart of what runs like a red thread through the employees of the Manx Heads - in individual careers, CVs and responsible transformation processes: The corporate culture is the greatest and strongest profit-generating engine of a company!
“You can't see the culture of collaboration in a company, but everyone can feel its impact. It influences every decision and action and thus of course the profit and loss account.”
THE BUSSWORD CORPORATE CULTURE
01.07.2019
The word "culture" interprets many different meanings for the corporate world. But, too often it's just a misunderstood buzzword that companies easily throw around in self-centered talk-show speeches while not directly addressing the corporate culture head-on.
The mindset of "lip service culture" is generally maintained, as many companies do not recognize "culture" as a significant revenue and profit generating platform. Such mindset not only stifles employee engagement but also destroys top and bottom line growth.
