How I support your path to a Self-Leading Team

I offer my concept of self-leading teams with active expectation management as an individual, longer-term support program. It comprises the following components:

• Team workshops in presence and virtually: the knowledge and skills of the team members are built upon and continuously expanded. Team-specific topics are addressed and the workshops offer practical exercises and methods (with examples) so that what has been learned can be applied directly.

• Leadership coaching: Individual 1:1 coaching sessions (e.g. monthly) for team leaders or individual team members help them to overcome their own “blind spots” and personal challenges. Coaching sessions focus on the development of leadership qualities and the application of the concept in real-life situations

• Keynotes: Impulse talks offer new perspectives and inspire the team to integrate the concepts learned into their everyday work. These presentations can be extended with mini-workshops or open Q&A sessions.

The common goal is:

➡️ to build motivated, independent, productive teams

➡️ long-term support for managers & teams to ensure success

➡️ active expectation management for professional, genuine leadership

You have the following concerns about your role
in the Self-Leading Team?

• Loss of control
• Lack of trust
• Potential for conflict

That's what I'm here for, because my many years of experience show me that if you opt for a self-leading team concept and external support, you and your team will benefit from

• Rapid personal relief

• Reduced fluctuation
• Better conflict avoidance and resolution

with a customized, moderated program that is tailored to the specific needs of your team and yourself.

The result is highly motivated, efficient and harmonious teams with you as a successful, calm leader who together promote the company's success in the long term.

Self-Leading Teams

What are self-leading teams?

Self-leading teams are groups of your employees who can work and make decisions on their own without having to rely on constant guidance from a manager. They promote innovation and creativity by creating a culture of initiative and psychological safety. In order to achieve this for you, we focus on the three factors: leadership, teamwork and motivation in our program with your team.

Why are self-leading teams important for companies?

Teams that work independently can react more quickly to changes and make decisions. This increases productivity.
Self-determination promotes employee engagement and motivation as they have more control over their work.
Self-leading teams tend to be more creative and develop innovative solutions as they are encouraged to try new approaches.

Expectations-Management

What is expectations-management?

The basis of every good interpersonal relationship is the clarification of mutual expectations. That sounds easier said than done. Expectations-management in teams involves clear communication, understanding and mutual agreement of expectations between managers and their teams.

We train together how to do this using a simple yet very effective method and how to deal with expectations in conflictual situations in existing teams.

Why is expectations-management so important?

1. Clear expectations mean that all team members know what is expected of them. This leads to better alignment and concentration.
2. Active and effective expectations management reduces the likelihood of failure, misunderstandings and conflict within the team.
3. When expectations are clear and regularly discussed, teams can plan better and achieve their goals more efficiently.

Respectful Communication

What is respectful communication?

Respect is a central value in almost all company mission statements. And yet employees often do not feel that they are treated respectfully and resign for precisely this reason. Training and learning respectful communication (and respectful treatment) means focusing on creating a positive working environment and safe team leadership. Our collaboration here is aimed at managers and employees who want to be able to conduct feedback, target-setting and annual appraisals in a humane and successful way.

Why is respectful communication important?

A culture of respectful feedback and appreciative communication increases trust and cooperation within the team.
Conflicts can be resolved more quickly and effectively through respectful, clear argumentation, which also promotes employee health.
When people feel respected, seen and heard, their motivation and commitment to their work increases, and so does employee loyalty.

SVEN BLATT - HEAD OF JOHANNITER AKADEMIE NRW

Bianca-Maria Klein led a workspace on the topic of “Expectations- Management as a success factor: resilience and expectations” at our Johanniter Academies education symposium and also took part in the panel discussion on the topic of “The Gen-Z”.

The workspace led by Ms. Klein was highly interactive and enabled participants to actively participate in the discussion. This approach not only encouraged engagement, but also allowed participants to take away valuable implications and deepen their understanding of resilience from an expectations-management perspective.

The collaboration with Bianca-Maria Klein was consistently professional and uncomplicated. Right from the start, she showed a high level of commitment and expertise, which made the organization and implementation of her workspace a smooth and successful process.

Overall, Bianca-Maria Klein's presence at our symposium was extremely enriching and inspiring.
Not least because of the positive feedback from the participants, we look forward to working with you again in the future, thank you very much!

STEPHANIE ZÄNGLE - PMO & CHANGE MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR DACH

The cooperation started with an impulse lecture - meanwhile we consider ourselves lucky that Bianca-Maria constantly accompanies Danone in so many more areas: from group and team coaching to individual coaching sessions, our Danonians feel very well taken care of thanks to her professional, but always warm and empathetic manner. Bianca-Maria inspires our employees across all functional areas and levels with her authentic, solution-oriented and charming manner. I am looking forward to everything that is yet to come :)

JÖRN KRAMER - HEAD OF PROCUREMENT

I met Ms. Klein at a distributor conference in the spring of this year.
The superordinate topic was expectations. What expectations does one have of a supplier, and how can the supplier adequately meet the expectations of his customer? After more than 5 months, Ms. Klein's presentation is still very much on my mind. That alone is an award!
The professional and systematic approach, but especially the empathetic manner of Ms. Klein intuitively transports every listener already during the presentation into the stage of reflection, - and that is exactly the approach: not simply consuming things, but receiving guidance that you can then independently implement for yourself. For me, a must for people who want to think outside the box. Thanks again for the inspiration!

Jörn Kramer, Head of Procurement - Coloplast A/S

JENS WIELE - Board of Directors

I recently had the pleasure of welcoming Bianca-Maria to an internal event as a speaker.
The framework revolves around the topic of transformation, in which Bianca-Maria gave many impulses to the auditorium, starting from her personal point of view.
It was not surprising that the atmosphere at the event was open and trusting, because that is exactly how I got to know Bianca during the preparation.
It became very clear over the course how clear one's own part is in the context of change, how important communication is and how each individual has the choice to create or to withdraw.
Thank you very much, Bianca-Maria, it was a lot of fun 😊

JURAJ KELLER - COUNTRY MANAGER SWITZERLAND

Each organization has transformational - challenging periods when even highest performing members are struggling, even at risk of leaving. In one such period Bianca-Maria coached team members and through individual approach, that was business savvy yet full of empathy, she managed to guide people to navigate this specific period. I am sure will continue working with Bianca-Maria in the future as the business world today needs authentic approach to leadership development.

JANA SIMON - MANAGER GROWTH & CULTURE TRANSFORMATION

Bianca-Maria's empathetic, positive nature manages to excite and inspire our Danoners every time in her interactive talks, workshops or coaching sessions! With her special energy, she creates intimacy even in virtual spaces and the audience is always engaged. Every session inspires me, and I have seen many from her - her refreshing, methodical approaches and reflections surprise every time. The highly professional set-up rounds out her performance; I highly recommend Bianca-Maria to anyone and everyone. We are very much looking forward to further collaboration!

MARC PACZIAN - COO - CHIEF CUSTOMER OFFICER

Bianca-Maria is absolutely great in always asking the right questions to trigger a thought process. She has fantastic experience which she uses in our business sessions and I explicitly enjoy her trustworthiness. Bianca-Maria's absolute superpower is empathy! She immediately senses my current mood, adapts and focuses the coaching sessions to get me into a positive and forward-looking mode. I can only recommend Bianca-Maria for personal business coaching, she already helped me a lot and is my trusted advisor.
