The main characteristics of agile organizations are their strong self-organization and simultaneous lack of hierarchy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1452700243026{margin-bottom: 39px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6336&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Functional teams have all the necessary skills and decision-making authority. The coordination takes place together with or within the team &#8211; the superior rather plays a secondary role. The advantage here is that all team members identify themselves with the goals and the achievement of the goals, feel responsible for them and therefore contribute their strengths optimally.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1452700243026{margin-bottom: 39px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]In reality, however, team members often feel overburdened due to a lack of guidelines and the necessity to speak out uncomfortable truths themselves. In addition, there are often concerns (&#8220;Can this even work?&#8221;) and fears of losing one&#8217;s own status within the organization.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading stripe_pos=&#8221;hide&#8221; text=&#8221;Definition von F\u00fchrung in einer agilen Organisation&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h5|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Leadership in an agile organization, therefore, means supporting the operative workers, instead of controlling top-down, top-down is served. The task of management in an agile organization is also the definition, communication, and implementation of<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Code of Conduct<\/li>\n<li>Mission statement<\/li>\n<li>Strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This ensures a common understanding while maintaining individuality: The teams derive their own goals depending on their individual contribution to value creation.

However, they all have one thing in common: <strong>the organizational structures are supplemented by flexible methods such as &#8220;design thinking&#8221;<\/strong>. Instead of a long conception phase, there are quick drafts with continuous feedback loops. From the outset, there is a trial and error phase, followed by joint discussions, in which everyone is involved. This method requires a high degree of adaptability and development capability &#8211; a core competence of an agile organization. This future-oriented, experimental approach requires openness, trust, and individuality, which are the basic values of a flexible company.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6418&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1452700243026{margin-bottom: 39px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading stripe_pos=&#8221;hide&#8221; text=&#8221;An agile organization is the end of fixed organizational structures, the continuation of certain standards and the beginning of adaptable and innovative companies.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h5|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][stm_post_bottom][stm_post_comments][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][stm_sidebar sidebar=&#8221;5442&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1459505959648{margin-bottom: -60px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;third_bg_color&#8221;][vc_column][vc_cta h2=&#8221;Would you like more information about our services?&#8221; h2_font_container=&#8221;font_size:20px|color:%23ffffff|line_height:24px&#8221; h2_use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; add_button=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_title=&#8221;Get a quote&#8221; btn_style=&#8221;flat&#8221; btn_color=&#8221;theme_style_2&#8243; btn_align=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; btn_i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-chevron-right&#8221; use_custom_fonts_h2=&#8221;true&#8221; btn_add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; btn_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fingenior.de%2Fen%2Fcontact%2F|||&#8221; el_class=&#8221;third_bg_color&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1553082672119{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many businesses, large and small, have a huge source of great ideas that can help them improve, innovate, and grow, and yet so many of these companies never think of using this amazing corporate asset.
