Talent Pragrams
2013 saw completion of the NextGen finance program for Metro AG. The 30 participants who started this year’s NextGen Finance had individual telephone coaching sessions before attending the first core module in March 2013. This leadership module addressed individual leadership capabilities as well as team leadership skills. As a participant put it “NGF 2013 is a great training program that brings all talented managers to the upper level in terms of self-confidence, self-consciousness and teamwork abilities.” The concept of the modular program gave opportunities for sharing ideas, expertise and experiences between participants from many different countries and sales lines.

Influence
Influence skills are primary elements of effective communication and leadership ability.
This program provides people with the behavioural skills important to getting their jobs done efficiently
while keeping relationships intact. To get things done in today's organizations, we must positively influence others (direct reports, colleagues, managers, clients, suppliers) - both inside and outside the organization. In addition, the factors influencing organizations change, therefore flexibility in using different influence approaches is key. Typical influence goals include gaining buy-in for one's ideas, securing cooperation, attuning agendas, and sustaining action. Strong influencers fulfill their personal objectives while maintaining and nurturing important work relationships - in practice that can be extremely challenging.
Many people achieve their influence objectives only at the expense of important relationships. Others habitually avoid challenging influence situations, at the expense of fulfilling their work goals.
