Mind your Mindset: The Real Leadership Challenge   One year ago, our CEO Maximilian Weidl spoke at the Abundance 360 Summit in Los Angeles on leadership in the age of AI and sustainability. A central question was: how do we foster an environment that embraces abundant opportunities while also prioritising sustainability?   Over the past year we had the privilege of working with some of the most innovative and forward-thinking leaders in the world – the members of our community. We have shared with them the issue of balancing an optimistic, AI-driven abundance mindset with a strong commitment to long-term sustainability. Here are the results and a deep dive into how merging the abundance mindset with the sustainability mindset can transform your leadership approach.   Embrace Growth and Responsibility  🌳 The abundance mindset is not just about seeing the world as a place full of opportunities; it’s about recognizing that with the right resources and creativity, we generate more possibilities not just for few but for all. When combining with a sustainability mindset, leaders begin to see these opportunities through the lens of long-term impact and environmental stewardship. Strategies should not only enrich the bottom lines but also the communities and ecosystems we interact with.   Innovate with Purpose 💡 Innovation is at the heart of the abundance mindset. By fostering a culture that encourages innovative thinking, leaders can tackle challenges in ways that maximize resource efficiency and minimize ecological footprints, e.g. by adopting green technologies, improving operational efficiencies or exploring new business models. Lead with Transparency 👐 Transparency builds trust, and trust is fundamental in leading effectively. To share the goals and path of aligning abundance and sustainability will help leaders build support from the various stakeholders – from employees to investors. Foster Resilience and Adaptability 🛡️ The intersection of an abundance mindset and a sustainability mindset prepares organizations to be resilient in the face of changes and challenges. It encourages leaders to adapt business practises that are not only economically beneficial but also resilient to environmental, social and regulatory changes. Cultivate Inclusive and Sustainable Growth 🤝 An abundance mindset fuelled by sustainability seeks to create value that is accessible to everyone. It involves building a diverse and inclusive workplace where different perspectives are valued and where everyone has a stake in both personal and environmental well-being.   So challenge yourself to think differently about leadership! How are you ensuring that your leadership approach combines the abundance and sustainability mindset?   #LeadershipDevelopment #Sustainability #BusinessStrategy #Innovation #CorporateResponsibility #AITransformation #FutureofWork   Feel free to share your thoughts and strategies on how you integrate these mindsets in your leadership role! 🗨️

Unlocking the power of leadership for sustainable business transformation The core of each business transformation is the goal and outcome of the transformation. What do we want to transform? What do we want to achieve? The central variables are: customer centricity, technology and sustainability. As organizations thrive in this new environment, the role of leadership has never been more crucial. An essential tool in the arsenal of change: the Leadership Audit. A Leadership Audit goes beyond the traditional assessment of skills and competencies. It dives deep into understanding how leaders can align their strategies, visions and actions with the principles of sustainability. NXT Boardroom has developed two state of the art, evidence based tools for this: the Personal Impact Profiler (PIP) and the Business Impact Profiler (BIP). The BIP provides a focused evaluation of your organization's strengths and opportunities when it comes to sustainable management best practices. The PIP is based on an innovative framework, focusing on six leadership archetypes and incorporates vital skills and qualities for leaders in sustainable business transformations. NXT Boardrooms Leadership Audit is not just an evaluation; it's a transformational tool that equips organizations to lead in a world where sustainability is at the forefront. The power of leadership shapes the future towards a more sustainable, equitable and prosperous vision. It's time to audit, adapt and lead with purpose. When was the last time your leadership team went through a structured assessment?

Wow - was für ein inspirierender Abend! denkwerk GmbH und NXT Boardroom hatten zu dem Thema „Nachhaltig erfolgreich – die Bausteine zukunftsfähiger Marken mehr als 50 Gäste zu einem persönlichen Netzwerkevent nach Köln eingeladen. Unter der charmanten und professionellen Moderation von Chérine De Bruijn (CORPORATE KITCHEN GmbH & Co. KG) stellten sich Michael Kamm (CEO ZWILLING J.A. Henckels LLC), Robin De Bruijn (Director Business & Transformation Strategy denkwerk GmbH) und Maximilian Weidl (CEO NXT Boardroom) ihren Fragen zu den Herausforderungen, wie die Kombination aus unternehmerischer Weitsicht, digitaler Vorreiterrolle und exzellenter Führung echten Wandel schafft. Aus der intensiven Diskussion lassen sich vier zentrale Erkenntnisse mitnehmen: 1.         Integrate Sustainability Damit Transformation gelingt, muss man wissen, wohin die Transformation führen soll. Dabei wurde klar, dass Nachhaltigkeit in die langfristige Entwicklung und Strategie des Unternehmens eingewoben sein muss. 2.         Accelerate Technology Technologien wie Künstliche Intelligenz, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Cloud Strukturen müssen als Katalysator für das transformierte Geschäftsmodell erkannt und umgesetzt werden. 3.         It's all about Leadership Mitarbeiter dort abholen, wo sie stehen. Aufzeigen, wohin die Transformationsreise geht. Alle mitnehmen, aber auch konsequent in der Entscheidung sein, sich von denen zu trennen, die nicht mitziehen. Das Ziel: der richtige Mitarbeiter hat die richtige Aufgabe. 4.         Clear Communication Jedem in der Organisation ist die Wahrheit zuzumuten. Und dies sauber kommuniziert: klar in der Sache, verbindlich im Ton. Alle Mitarbeiter haben das Recht zu erfahren, was die Transformation für sie bedeutet: in einer neuen Funktion etwas Neues zu lernen, zu wissen, in der richtigen Aufgabe zu sein oder aber auch außerhalb des Unternehmens neue Wege zu gehen. Großartige Impulse! Ein besonderer Dank geht an die Hausherren und Gastgeber von Denkwerk, Marco Zingler und Jochen Schlaier, die aus der ehemaligen Seifenfabrik Kölnisch Wasser einen innovativen Digital Hub gemacht haben. Great vibe in einer wundervollen Location. #community #netzwerk
