The Surprising Powerful Way to Win in a Complex World
We live in a world where competition and change are increasing to unprecedented levels.
Our organizations are facing mind-boggling challenges, from game-shifting technologies to supply chain disruption to global terrorism.
How do we best lead in this complex, messy, ever-changing environment that is our new world?
Drawing on his experience as Military Peacekeeping Commander, highly acclaimed Ultra-Endurance Competitor, and sought-after Executive Coach, Urs makes a compelling case: leadership principles from volatile peacekeeping operations and “last-man-standing” ultra-endurance competitions also apply to today’s turbulent world of business.
Leadership for High Performing Teams
Never have the demands placed on leaders been higher and more challenging. Change and competitive disruption are rising to unprecedented levels.
Are the leadership tactics of the past still the best way to build a successful team and organization? Or is it time to re-think how we lead in this complex, messy, ever-changing, new world?
Drawing on his experience as Military Peacekeeping Commander, highly acclaimed Ultra-Endurance Competitor and sought-after Executive Coach, Urs Koenig makes the compelling case that it’s time to make a real change.
Leading in high-pressure, complex, ever-changing environments requires humility, relentless focus, the ability to fail successfully and a strong commitment to continuously improve one’s leadership.
For Urs Koenig, challenging people to help them achieve top performance and bringing transformation is at the heart of everything he does. His journey has been non-traditional at every step. After his highly successful skiing career, he coached the Swiss University Ski Team and won numerous championships worldwide. Always eager to challenge himself as well […]
