GMP Update 06/2019

We have embarked on a new path with “Strengthening Leadership Presence”. Nowadays, ambitious leaders are not successful on the basis of their hierarchical status but because of their strong presence and connectivity with others. Therefore, we offer a pilot workshop for 1.5 days on September 26/27, conducted by our executive coach Nicolas Pesch. By making a deep dive into personal leadership questions, GMPs will work on how to become more present, thus improving their personal impact, flexibility, personal authority, gravitas and composure. We will combine mind and body work to accelerate performance in a challenging business environment.

On 24–26 April, a GMP Lab took place in the APAC region for the first time. The Munich Re Office in Singapore brought together 8 participants from all over the region. Together with executive coach Nicola Madjno, the colleagues had the opportunity to exchange their personal experiences and knowledge in order to explore what the transformation means for them as managers and their teams. The group also visited the Google Campus in Singapore to talk to Google managers about current topics and challenges and worked with IMD professor Howard Yu on innovation and disruption.

In February 2020, we will conduct a reunion of the GMPs who attended our 2nd IMD Development Journey in 2018. Back then, the group came together under the headline “Changing Leadership in the Digital Age”. They strengthened their collaboration across business fields, experienced other companies under the pressure of transformation and worked on leadership challenges. We will renew this feeling of collaboration around a common experience and will provide additional content for interesting discussions.
