New Leipzig Talents awarded certificates of completion

23 New Leipzig Talents receive their certificates

After six months of coaching, 23 New Leipzig Talents (NLT) proudly received their certificates. The final session was warmly hosted by BMW Group plant in Leipzig, co-sponsor of the program. It was a highlight to discuss plant manager Petra Peterhänsel’s very personal path to leadership with her. We also had the opportunity to take a look at the assembly workshop. Prof. Dr. Timo Meynhardt summed up the NLT coaching: “Development never stops and the next step to grow as a leader is always towards more complexity.” Or as American developmental psychologist Robert Kegan put it: “Greater complexity is associated with greater effectiveness”.

New Leipzig Talents is a joint offer of the Dr. Arend Oetker Chair of Business Psychology and Leadership and the department Career and Alumni Relations. Designed as an extracurricular activity, the program invites a group of students in the first term on an individual coaching journey.
