    #91 Defeating Your Inner Resistance: How Practice, Feedback & Training Transform Leadership

    Great leaders are not born—they are developed through consistent practice, honest feedback, and a commitment to continuous improvement. In this episode of Value Impulses, Steffen Köhler and Dr. Ulrich Vogel explore one of the greatest challenges in leadership: turning knowledge into action. While many leaders invest in learning new concepts, real growth only happens when those ideas are practiced consistently in everyday leadership situations. Together, they discuss why overcoming your inner resistance—the tendency to avoid difficult conversations, uncomfortable feedback, or new leadership habits—is essential for personal and professional growth. They explain why leadership is a skill that must be trained just like any other high-performance discipline. The conversation highlights the power of a strong feedback culture, demonstrating how regular feedback not only improves communication with employees but also strengthens self-awareness, confidence, and leadership effectiveness. Steffen and Uli share practical methods for learning from mistakes, reflecting on experiences, and deliberately creating opportunities to practice challenging leadership situations. The episode concludes with actionable recommendations that leaders can implement immediately to build new habits, improve their communication, and become more confident and authentic in their leadership role. Whether you're leading a hospital department, a business team, or an entire organization, this episode reminds us of one simple truth: without practice, there is no progress. Verdict: Practical, motivating, and packed with actionable strategies for leaders committed to continuous growth and excellence.

    #90 Self-Leadership in Practice: From Stress to Strategy

    The way you lead others begins with the way you lead yourself. In this episode of Value Impulses, Dr. Ulrich Vogel and Steffen Köhler, Head of Human Resources and Education at Kliniken Südostbayern, explore why self-leadership is the foundation of outstanding leadership—and how many leaders unintentionally become the biggest bottleneck in their own organizations. Together, they discuss the common trap of operational overload, where leaders spend their days solving urgent problems instead of focusing on strategic priorities. They explain why effective delegation is not a loss of control but a powerful leadership skill that strengthens teams, increases efficiency, and enables sustainable growth. Another key topic is the "Big Rocks First" principle—prioritizing what truly matters instead of getting distracted by minor tasks. Steffen and Uli demonstrate how leaders can shift their focus from constant firefighting to long-term strategic thinking. The conversation also explores one of the most powerful concepts in leadership: making yourself gradually less indispensable. Rather than reducing a leader's importance, empowering others creates stronger teams, develops future leaders, and allows organizations to become more resilient. Filled with practical examples from the healthcare sector, this episode provides actionable strategies that leaders in any industry can apply to reduce stress, improve delegation, and build high-performing, self-sufficient teams. Verdict: Practical, thought-provoking, and essential for leaders who want to move from constant busyness to strategic leadership.
