At the last Future of Work Café in Schaan, we gained exciting insights into the value landscape of SMEs: The more than 20 managers represented rated the Values authenticity (staying true to yourself), honesty, respect, optimism and courage as particularly important. They currently feel respect and appreciation most strongly in Liechtenstein. The values of honesty and authenticity are represented in many facets. Optimism and courage, on the other hand, are currently less visible.

Gain confidence and strength: How it works
To spread confidence and strength in your company, I recommend the method of Appreciative exploration (Appreciative Inquiry). This method helps to establish a positive attitude in your team and to get the best out of the existing potential.
|
- Step 1: Discovery (recognizing and understanding): Start by exploring the past and present of your organization. Focus on emotions that lead to a sense of connection and belonging.
- Step 2: Dream (create a picture of the future): Allow yourself and your team to dream and put together the best examples of the present to create an inspiring picture of the future.
- Step 3: Design (concretizing the image of the future): Now the real work on the future begins. The ideas from the dream phase are developed into concrete, realizable visions.
- Step 4: Destiny (relocate): Define concrete steps to make the vision of the future a reality. This step leads to targeted project work.

Now is the right time to make your SME more resilient and innovative:
Get together with your leadership team today and start an appreciative exploration - an inspiring approach to strengthen optimism and courage in the company and lead it successfully into the future.
