Leadership Consulting: What is it?


Let’s dive deeper into what leadership consulting actually means.

Most companies understand that personnel management requires employee development measures. But who takes on this role at the executive level? Leadership consulting refers to a specialized form of business consulting that helps organizations continuously improve their leadership skills and strategic alignment while adapting to current developments.

The goal of leadership consulting is to develop a leadership system with management teams that makes them and individual leaders as effective as possible.

This is primarily about the productivity and effectiveness of the company.

To give a small example: Most executives in Germany spend about 75% of their working time in meetings. This leaves little time for thinking. Peter Drucker says, "An organization where executives spend more than 25% of their time in meetings is not efficiently structured."

This is exactly where leadership consulting comes into play.

Why is Leadership Consulting needed?


If you're wondering why you even need specialized leadership consulting, here are some key aspects:


  • Market and world developments are becoming faster and more complex. In the busy everyday business world, there is often no capacity to keep up regularly.
  • Over time, everyone develops a certain blind spot. An outside perspective helps identify weaknesses and identify strengths that can be expanded for the future.
  • For leaders, strong social skills are a crucial success factor. These can only be developed from within. Leadership consulting and coaching help uncover blind spots and transform ingrained behavior patterns.
  • New solutions are often found through exchanges with other experts. However, especially at the top management level, appropriate sparring partners are often missing – a gap that can be filled by suitable leadership consultants.
  • There are always new scientific findings related to personnel management, strategy development, and many other important leadership areas. Keeping up with these trends while managing a business is nearly impossible. This knowledge can flow into the company through external consultants.

Leadership Consulting: Order Instead of Chaos


On top of the external factors mentioned above, there’s the internal situation in many companies.

Unfortunately, true chaos often reigns internally. Leadership roles are unclear, there’s no common understanding of leadership, and endless meetings take place with different groups discussing the same topics without synchronization.

Then there are projects with different structures and rhythms, often hindered by unclear dependencies. Even new work approaches like 'New Work' have brought more chaos than order to many organizations.

In today’s world, people are cognitively overwhelmed by the flood of information.


We often find that employees – whether in leadership roles or on teams – have little time for productive activities.

Instead, too much time is spent in unproductive, drawn-out meetings. More working time is needed instead of discussion time.

Projects tend to take longer because there is a lack of a unified rhythm and a consistent leadership system.

You’ve probably experienced situations in companies where processes gradually become stumbling blocks, overwork and demotivation spread through the team, or overall success is lacking.


All these are reasons why leadership consulting is so important for businesses.

Leadership Beratung: Who can benefit?


You may now be wondering whether leadership consulting is right for you.

Basically, this form of consulting is suitable for all leaders. It’s especially crucial for large companies and corporations. There, it’s almost indispensable.

6 signs you need Leadership Consulting


  1. Long project timelines and high friction losses due to unclear leadership and structures:The success of your projects is a good indicator of your leadership structure. Does everything run smoothly and on schedule, or are problems, delays, and endless coordination rounds the norm?

  2. Decreasing satisfaction, high turnover rates, or rising absenteeism among employees: Employee satisfaction and well-being are crucial indicators of leadership quality. Weak results from employee surveys, high resignation rates, or absenteeism are clear signals that something is wrong.

  3. High stress levels, capacity shortages, or psychological and physical complaints among leaders: Personal challenges at the top level are an important sign that leadership consulting or coaching is needed. A healthy company needs healthy leaders.



  1. Emerging market changes or shifts in the business environment: Sometimes it’s just rumors, sometimes forecasts or visible technological changes. It’s the leadership team’s job to recognize these and adjust the strategy accordingly. Leadership consulting can be valuable here.

  2. Stagnating or shrinking numbers in key success metrics:Whenever you see or feel that your business is no longer on the road to success, leadership consulting can provide clarity on causes and remedies.

  3. Proactive development: Prevention is better than cure – this old wisdom applies in the business context too. If you haven’t used leadership consulting before and everything is running smoothly, now is the best time to take action and ensure your business stays on the path to success with ease.

Leadership Consulting: Areas we can help you with


Leadership consulting is a key foundational task for companies to increase productivity and effectiveness.

It’s about developing a consistent, efficient leadership system that is tailored to your business.

This includes the following components, which must work seamlessly together for employees to experience leadership as consistent and remain productive in the long term:


A unified framework
of long-term, medium-term, and short-term goals: vision, mission, strategic roadmap, annual goals, and short-term priorities. This also includes corporate identity development.

Clarity about the leadership team:
disciplinary leadership roles, lateral and technical leadership roles, and how these functions interact.

Defining decision-making processes:
what is decided when, how, what does a proposal look like, how are decisions made, when is a decision binding, and how are decisions clearly documented?


Leadership communication:
how employees are informed and involved, clear rules, and direct communication from top management to employees to avoid the “telephone game.”

Unified leadership tools:
feedback, promotions, and many other leadership tools require consistent standards.

A common understanding of leadership:
ow can you recognize good leadership in a company or culture, and what are the rules and behaviors everyone can rely on, which each leader is also measured against?


Optimizing meeting structure: 
what rhythm for which meetings do we want, and how can we make many decisions in individual meetings? This includes strategic meetings once a year or quarterly, as well as regular meetings for operational decisions and open space times for informal consultations with leaders.

Leadership Consulting: The benefits of an external partner


Our experience shows that it’s very difficult to develop a leadership system from within. This is exactly where our leadership consulting comes in.

At MLI, we have years of built-up expertise in the market. From over 100 projects and across more than 100 companies, we know exactly which tools work, which don’t, and what’s important. Above all, we have the necessary distance to help leadership teams declutter, question meetings, examine existing tools, and streamline processes.

We consult and coach you as long as needed and also train the new leadership system with you until it fits into everyday life. We conduct regular retrospectives to ensure that what we’ve set out to do is working or needs to be adjusted flexibly.

This is what we mean by leadership consulting.
