Better together: co-leadership as a working model at management level

The keys to success

Co-leadership lowers the inhibition threshold to take over a leadership position, as this working model aims at a better work-life balance. In addition, various studies prove that decisions can be made faster since pairs don’t lose focus that often and get stuck on fewer points. In the event of vacation or illness, Helena and Nils can substitute each other. In addition, they have both increased their network and benefit from each other’s contacts. The co-leadership model also allows them to continue active work on projects without neglecting the team. For Helena and Nils, honesty, openness, and respect are paramount. Recognizing the other’s achievements, giving and accepting critical feedback, as well as focusing on the team goals are further important success factors. In a nutshell, you are stronger together.
