Podcast: Leadership Matters
Leading in Conflict Situations: Achieving Fairness and Team Strength through Clear Communication
How does conflict management shape leadership and teamwork? We discuss this with psychologist and mediator Dr. Janine Netzel from the Munich Center for Leadership, exploring how clear communication, fairness, and a proactive approach can defuse conflicts early and build a strong team culture.
Leadership and dealing with mistakes
Mistakes happen, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. Worse still, we often make the same mistakes and seem to learn little from previous situations. In this episode, two managers talk about their personal experiences and share specific strategies that helped them to better deal with mistakes in the team.
Leadership and reintegration after a mental health crisis
How can leaders and teams help shape a sustainable return to work after a mental health crisis? In this episode, we discuss with Ute Schröder, an expert in occupational integration management, the different phases of the reintegration process and related best practices for managers and teams.
Does bad leadership make people sick?
Why and how does the quality of leadership matter for (mental) health? Is resilience the key to staying healthy? We speak with Prof. Dr. Harald Gündel, Medical Director of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at the University Clinic Ulm. We learn how body and mind react to the work environment.
