Gaining an impartial view of your own abilities, potential and inhibiting factors
As a manager, the higher up the ladder you climb, the less likely you are to receive useful feedback on your leadership behavior. After all, plain, unadorned feedback given spontaneously in a particular situation is what we truly appreciate. What we desire to hear is not flattery or denouncements from people pursuing their own agenda, but deeply sincere, genuinely human opinions that are addressed to us personally and directly. This is precisely the type of feedback that puts us in a reflective frame of mind, and ultimately helps us to progress. A development center offers you the opportunity to engage in a productive dialog with two trained assessors, in a safe, neutral environment away from your workplace. Together we will shed light on your abilities, identify your inhibiting tendencies, explore your potential and come up with some highly promising perspectives.

“For me, the collaboration with Trans-In was a stand-out experience from my almost 20-year career as a manager. On the basis of a very incisive development center, Trans-In supported me in my ongoing development for six months. The benefits could be felt, not only by me, but also by my employees and my boss. It was unbelievably helpful, especially the way that Joerg Eugster was able to provide an – always fitting – theoretical context to my concrete examples, which enabled me to address issues drawing on a much broader repertoire of techniques. Accordingly, I can recommend collaboration with Trans-In wholeheartedly and without reservations.”
