In times of a shortage of skilled workers and growing expectations of modern work, managers are under pressure to improve employee management and create an environment in which teams can develop their full potential. But how do you as a manager create an environment in which employees not only function, but also excel? How can you ensure that your teams deliver top performance? In times of a shortage of skilled workers and increasing demands on a modern work culture, managers are more concerned than ever with these questions.
The answer lies in a simple but effective formula:
Performance = Want × Can × May.
In the webinar, we will take a closer look at "being allowed". While the focus is often on motivation (i.e. "wanting") and skills (i.e. "being able"), the decisive factor is often overlooked: "being allowed". Do your employees really have the framework conditions they need to develop their potential?
In the webinar with Dr. Kathrin Neumüller, an expert in leadership, you will receive practical tips for managers on how you can reflect on your leadership style and improve it in a targeted manner - in order to create a working environment in which top performance is possible.

What you can expect in this webinar
Why good employee management is crucial today
"Employees don't leave companies - they leave managers." This oft-quoted sentence is unfortunately true. Our long-term analysis of a Swiss employer over four years with over 14,000 free text comments clearly shows that poor leadership is the most common reason for resignation - ahead of salary, career opportunities or work-life balance. In the webinar, we discuss what you can do instead.
Why classic management recipes no longer work
The management models of the past no longer meet today's expectations. Control, rigid hierarchies and pure performance orientation can even inhibit employee motivation and creativity. In the webinar, you will learn what modern leadership looks like, which principles characterize contemporary leadership behavior and how you can adapt your leadership style to the working world of today.
What employees really need
Find out what actually motivates employees. Spoiler: It's not the fruit basket. Our data clearly shows which factors determine the commitment, loyalty and satisfaction of your employees and what you as a manager can do to strengthen these in a targeted manner. The findings clearly show that successful employee management is more than just motivation. It is about providing employees with the right framework conditions to successfully empower them.
Your speaker: Dr. Kathrin Neumüller
Dr. Kathrin Neumüller is Co-Managing Director of ValueQuest and an expert in employee surveys and organizational development.
With her many years of experience in the analysis of employee satisfaction, leadership behavior and leadership competence, she knows the challenges of modern employee management at first hand.
In the webinar, she shares not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical findings from numerous Swiss employee surveys and consulting projects - and shows how effective leadership succeeds in practice.
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar is aimed at managers and interested employees who want to understand how modern leadership works and which factors enable top performance in a team.
Whether you lead a team of five or fifty people, whether you are new to a leadership role or already have years of experience - the formula "Performance = Will × Can × May" offers you a clear framework for increasing your leadership effectiveness and developing your leadership behavior in a targeted manner.
Employees without direct management responsibility also benefit: They gain valuable insights into the dynamics of modern teamwork, understand what constitutes good leadership behavior and learn how they themselves can contribute to an inspiring work culture.
You are in the right place for this webinar if you:
- Ask yourself why motivated employees are not performing as expected
- want to understand why good people leave your company
- want to learn how to live appreciation authentically instead of just talking about it
- seek concrete impulses to improve employee management and enable top performance
- Your own leadership skills reflect on and develop your own leadership skills
