Turner is organizing a series of exclusive crossover events for its clients. Leading speakers will share their latest insights in the fields of psychology, ethics, behavioral science, theology, leadership, and artificial intelligence. Our goal is to challenge conventional thinking, inspire you, and broaden your horizons, because Strategy Execution is a multidisciplinary field. We need leaders and professionals who can combine knowledge and approaches from different disciplines. On November 3, 2022, Professor George Kohlrieser of IMD, Lausanne, led the Turner X-Over High Performance Leadership: Leading Strategy Execution session. Jacques Pijl<\/a> wrote a series of blog posts on this topic. This is the first in a series of three.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

The personal is professional. George Kohlrieser has profoundly transformed my perspective on leadership, as I wrote in my previous blog post<\/a>. And I\u2019m not alone in this. George Kohlrieser\u2019s teachings have influenced thousands of leaders around the world over the past few decades. From him, I\u2019ve learned that the personal is professional. Turner associates and colleagues have had the same experience during the Turner X-over High Performance Leadership: Leading Strategy-Execution program. The nine key principles are as follows:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

  1. Don’t Let Yourself Be Held Hostage<\/strong><\/li>
  2. The Cycle of Attachment<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Leading from the Inner Eye<\/strong><\/li>
  4. The Leader as a Secure Base<\/strong><\/li>
  5. The Power of Language<\/strong><\/li>
  6. Conflict Resolution<\/strong><\/li>
  7. The Power of Dialogue<\/strong><\/li>
  8. High-Impact Negotiation<\/strong><\/li>
  9. Managing Emotions<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>


    In this blog post, I\u2019ll take a closer look at principles 1\u20133. More about principles<\/span>     4\u20136<\/a>. More about principles<\/span> 7\u20139<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>

    What really resonated with me is the principle that, as a leader, you always bring yourself to the table: you have to know yourself and have come to terms with your own grief in order to be a good leader. If you\u2019re stuck in your past, in the losses you\u2019ve suffered, you can\u2019t lead others effectively. So let\u2019s take a look at what George has to say about Principle 1: Don\u2019t let yourself be held hostage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
