A condensed introduction into the field of operational leadership well aligning with strategic people leader development topics.
My name is Daniel Rottgardt, and I am a Senior Global Human Resource Director working for many years in different multinational companies. My academic background is in Political Science, with a specific focus on international relations and political theory. I hold a Masters degree. With more than 20 years of experience in Human Resources I became particularly interested in leadership development and associated organizational development. Over the course of my professional career, I have seen how fundamentally important it is to equip leaders with more than just the nice and shiny theoretical underpinnings of mindset and behavior that are primarily aimed at a strategic leadership approach. It's crucial and equally important to ensure that a more tangible and pragmatic leadership skills approach which shapes the company culture is successfully implemented. As many of us likely know, “culture eats strategy for breakfast”. This led me to research the fundamentals of operational leadership development, which I will explore in short articles/essays. Looking ahead, I am excited to continue developing my work in operational leadership development. I am committed to contributing to the broader HR and people leaders community by openly sharing thoughts and hopefully help gaining insights.
