We are committed to teaching students and future value-oriented leaders that not only follow particular interests, but also focus on an organization’s contribution to the common good (Public Value). Our research links psychological and business management issues, especially in the areas of Public Value management, leadership, and competency diagnosis. We build holistic thinking approaches in the tradition of Peter Drucker , known as the father of modern management.
Organizations are part of society and as such play a crucial role in shaping it. Since innovation and growth require an environment of trust and appreciation, all activities of an organization must be socially legitimized. Our research aims to enable a broad Public Value discourse and identify new approaches to leadership. We actively support organizations in gaining an introspective view of their real value contributions by implementing a Public Value Scorecard. In cooperation with the Center for Leadership and Values in Society at the University of St. Gallen, we published the Public Value Atlas of Germany and Switzerland . The study evaluates well-known organizations from the private and non-profit sectors based on four dimensions of public value – the result is a ranking.
One of our guiding beliefs is that leaders should see themselves as part of a “big picture” and define themselves through their value contribution, not status, knowledge, or power. Based on these ideas, we helped develop the Leipzig Leadership Model, which can serve as a guiding compass in the face of a highly complex world.
