Timothy Apps

With passion for these topics in particular:

Leadership

Leadership is the orientation of teams and organizations towards the future. It's about shaping collaboration and a vibrant corporate culture. The effectiveness is greater the better managers manage themselves in relation to others. This not only requires knowledge of modern leadership and collaboration methods. It also requires regular reflection so that self-knowledge, communication skills and leadership skills can mature. 


Organizational development 

It's about people, processes and strategies. How do we get to organizations that are process-oriented? And how do we keep the customer in mind in all of this? 

Team and team development 

To form successful teams, there are essentially four subject areas to consider:

1. Create trust and security.
2. Make learning moments discussable.
3. Keep revitalizing the shared task. 
4. Support personal development. 

Interim Management & Reoganisations

Temporary assumption of management responsibility (interim management). This ensures continuity of business operation. In addition, consolidation and stabilization of the organisation and corporation where required.

I enable people to act independently and support them in their actions 
next step.

I listen intently, ask good questions and inspire. 

 I'm a "hands-on" person, I get involved.
