Für wen dieses Format gedacht ist
Dieses Offsite richtet sich an Führungspersönlichkeiten, die bereit sind,
•
gewohnte Komfortzonen temporär zu verlassen,
•
sich auf einen reduzierten, bewusst einfachen Rahmen einzulassen,
•
Natur als Reflexionsraum zu nutzen,
•
Führung nicht nur zu diskutieren, sondern unter veränderten
Bedingungen zu durchdenken.
Es ist bewusst kein Format für alle. Qualität entsteht hier durch Auswahl und
durch die Bereitschaft, sich ernsthaft auf das Thema einzulassen.
Jenseits des gewohnten Rahmens
Was Führung wirklich trägt, zeigt sich selten im Büro.
Nicht im strukturierten Meeting, nicht im professionell ausgestatteten
Seminarraum. Entscheiden, managen und verhandeln verändern ihre
Qualität, wenn der gewohnte Rahmen bewusst verlassen wird.
Nach zwei Veranstaltungen im Hotelumfeld, in denen wir „Führen unter
Extrem bedingungen“ analytisch und praxisnah beleuchtet haben, folgt nun
der nächste konsequente Schritt: Führung nicht nur zu diskutieren, sondern
unter veränderten Bedingungen zu reflektieren und zu erleben.
Dieses Format richtet sich an Führungspersönlichkeiten, die Abstand vom
operativen Alltag suchen, um klarer zu denken, bewusster zu entscheiden
und ihre eigene Führungsrolle unter Belastung zu hinterfragen. Der Rahmen: bewusst reduziert
Der Austausch findet an einem außergewöhnlichen Ort in den Bergen statt.
Ohne Strom. Ohne Warmwasser. Ohne Präsentationstechnik. Ohne
klassische Seminaratmosphäre. Die Unterkunft ist bewusst schlicht gewählt.
Übernachtet wird im Schlafsack, gewaschen wird sich am Brunnen,
die Infrastruktur ist einfach.
Diese spartanisch gehaltene Umgebung ist kein Selbstzweck. Sie schafft
eine Form von Klarheit, die im gewohnten Komfort selten entsteht. Wenn
äußere Annehmlichkeiten wegfallen, rücken Haltung, Kommunikation
und Entscheidungsfähigkeit stärker in den Vordergrund. Diese Reduktion
ist kein Nebeneffekt, sondern Teil des Konzepts. Wer Führung unter
Belastung verstehen will, muss zumindest ansatzweise erfahren, wie sich
veränderte Rahmen bedingungen auf Wahrnehmung, Kommunikation und
Entscheidungs prozesse auswirken. Natur, Wetter, Geräusche, fehlende
Infrastruktur – all das schafft eine andere Dynamik. Konzentration entsteht
bewusster. Kommunikation wird unmittelbarer. Haltung wird sichtbarer. Auch
die äußeren Bedingungen sind nicht steuerbar. Ob Sonne oder Regen, unser
Format findet auf jeden Fall statt. Gerade darin liegt deine zentrale Erfahrung:
Führung bedeutet, mit gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen zu arbeiten, nicht
auf ideale zu warten.
Arbeitsweise: Dialog und Erfahrung
Die Gespräche finden draußen statt: auf Bänken, auf der Wiese, vor der
Hütte. Der Rahmen ist offen, aber inhaltlich klar geführt. Theorie wird nicht
losgelöst vermittelt, sondern im Kontext von Erfahrung reflektiert.
Ergänzend können Elemente hinzukommen, die Selbstüberwindung, Wahr-
nehmung und Teamdynamik erfahrbar machen. Diese sind bewusst gewählt
und inhaltlich eingebettet als Erfahrungsräume für Führung unter Belastung. Inhaltliche Perspektiven
Im Zentrum steht das Thema „Führen unter Belastung”.
Die Impulse kommen von zwei Persönlichkeiten mit operativer Führungserfahrung
in realen Hochrisiko- und Krisensituationen.
Referent Georg Hartmann ist ehemaliger Offizier des Kommandos Spezial-
kräfte (KSK). Über viele Jahre war er in militärischen Spezialeinheiten tätig
und trug Führungsverantwortung in internationalen Einsätzen, in denen Ent-
scheidungen unter Zeitdruck, mit unvollständiger Informationslage und hoher
persönlicher Verantwortung getroffen werden mussten. Mit über 20 Jahren
Einsatz- und Führungserfahrung im nationalen wie internationalen Umfeld
steht er für konsequente Führung, Entscheidungsstärke und Verantwortung
in Extremlagen.
Der zweite Referent ist international tätiger Krisenberater und
Verhandlungsexperte mit langjähriger Erfahrung in der Lösung von
Entführungs- und Erpressungsfällen. Er begleitet Unternehmen, Regierungen
und exponierte Persönlich keiten in akuten Krisensituationen und verhandelt
unter Bedingungen, in denen Fehlentscheidungen unmittelbare Konse-
quenzen haben. Seine Einsätze führten ihn unter anderem nach Afghanistan,
Somalia und Deutschland. Aus Gründen der Diskretion bleibt sein Name
anonym. An diesem Wochenende erlebst du ihn live und persönlich.
Die Perspektiven der Referenten beruhen auf gelebter Praxis:
•
Wie bleibt Führung stabil, wenn äußere Stabilität fehlt?
•
Wie entsteht Klarheit bei Unsicherheit?
•
•
Wie steuert man Kommunikation unter emotionalem Druck?
Welche Rolle spielt Selbstführung in kritischen Momenten?
Es geht darum, Entscheidungsarchitektur, Verantwortung und Haltung nicht
abstrakt zu diskutieren, sondern unter veränderten Bedingungen neu zu
betrachten
Was passiert, wenn dein Plan plötzlich nicht mehr funktioniert?
Wenn Ziele sich ändern. Wenn Informationen fehlen. Wenn Ressourcen wegfallen. Genau dann zeigt sich echte Führung.
Nicht im Meetingraum. Nicht in PowerPoint. Sondern unter Belastung. Deshalb gehen wir bewusst raus aus dem gewohnten Umfeld: Eine Berghütte in den Berchtesgadener Alpen 10.–12. Juli 2026 Ein intensives Offsite für Führungspersönlichkeiten, die mehr wollen als Theorie.
Mit dabei: – Ein ehemaliger KSK-Offizier mit echter Einsatzerfahrung – Ein internationaler Krisenverhandler aus realen Extremsituationen Keine Folien. Keine Standardmodelle. Kein Komfort. Dafür: ✔ Entscheidungen unter Unsicherheit ✔ Führung bei abrupten Veränderungen ✔ Klarheit, wenn Struktur fehlt

Jenseits des gewohnten Rahmens
Kein chi-chi, kein bla-bla! Straight talking. Klare insights.
Fokussierung auf das Wesentliche.
Management-Training im Seminarraum? Nett. Aber wirkungslos.
Wir gehen dahin, wo Entscheidungen wirklich zählen: Kein Strom. Kein warmes Wasser. Kein Komfort. Nur du, dein Team – und die Realität.
Biwak. Lagerfeuer. Berghütte. Führung unter Bedingungen, die nichts beschönigen.
Wer hier besteht, führt auch im Business anders.
Wer ist bereit, Komfort gegen Klarheit zu tauschen?

Wir haben das Seminar bereits in komfortabler Runde im LeMeridien in München abgehalten. Hier der Bericht vom November 2025.

The AYCON Principles of Interim Management Excellence
Ulvi Aydin, one of the most experienced interim managers in the industry, lives by a simple principle: Love and knowledge are wonderful things—they double when you share them.
Drawing on 21 years of experience, approximately 25 assignments, and 15 industries, he shares these principles as inspiration, guidance, and a legacy for young and new interim managers.
Personality & Mindset
Take ownership from day one.
No one hires an interim manager to sit on the sidelines.
Remain independent in your judgment.
Your loyalty is to the success of the company, not to individual people.
Tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.
Diplomacy matters. Clarity matters more.
Earn trust through performance, not through titles.
Always maintain integrity and confidentiality.
Confidentiality is the currency of interim management.
Always act in the best interest of the company.
Not in the interest of individual stakeholders.
Selecting Assignments
Only accept assignments you are qualified to handle.
Experience cannot be improvised.
Critically assess every assignment before signing the contract.
Not every problem can be solved.
Turn down assignments when there is no realistic chance of success.
Integrity before revenue.
Define the objectives with absolute clarity before you start.
Clarify expectations, roles, and responsibilities early.
Never allow yourself to be drawn into political power games.
Starting the Assignment
Listen first. Act second.
Understand the numbers, the processes, and the people equally well.
Build an objective picture of the situation within the first 20 days.
Identify the three biggest levers for impact.
Deliver quick wins without falling into action for action’s sake.
Create transparency based on facts, not opinions.
Leadership & Execution
Lead by example, not by hierarchy.
Make decisions when others hesitate.
Focus on results, not activities.
Being busy is not progress.
Build structures that work without you.
Build ownership instead of dependency.
A good interim manager ultimately makes himself unnecessary.
Change processes, not just people.
Connect strategy with operational execution.
Consistently deliver on deadlines, quality, and budget.
That is simply part of being a professional.
Exit & Legacy
Measure success by sustainable results.
Ensure knowledge transfer before you leave.
Leave behind a stronger company than the one you found.
Your greatest success is when they no longer need you.
Interim management is not a permanent solution. It is about enabling the organization to succeed on its own.
Ulvi: The Essence in One Sentence
“An excellent interim manager creates clarity, trust, results, and sustainable structures in a short period of time—without creating dependency.”

Clarity! Trust! Results! Executions!
Create Clarity! Create Trust! Deliver Results! Create a good and efficient Structure! Execute!
LOCAL EXCELLENCE MUST BECOME GLOBAL EXCELLENCE!
One of the biggest mistakes in global corporations is surprisingly simple:
Headquarters believes it knows best.
The strategy comes from headquarters.
The processes come from headquarters.
The standards come from headquarters.
And the countries are expected to execute.
That thinking is outdated.
Because headquarters does not own the truth.
The market does.
And the people closest to customers, competitors, projects, and opportunities often know things that headquarters simply cannot know.
That is why I believe global companies need a fundamental shift in mindset:
Stop treating countries as execution units. Start treating them as sources of intelligence.
During my current global assignment, I have spent considerable time in different countries and regions. And again and again, I see the same thing:
There is enormous competence out there.
India does things exceptionally well that Europe can learn from.
The Middle East has approaches that should influence global thinking.
Asia brings speed, ambition, and different ways of building relationships.
North America brings its own commercial logic and customer orientation.
South America operates successfully under conditions that require flexibility and entrepreneurship.
Italy may have solutions others have never considered.
And Germany recently provided another excellent example: instead of looking primarily at historical customer revenues, the team started looking at customer potential.
A small change in perspective.
But potentially a massive change in how sales resources are allocated.
That is exactly the point.
Great ideas do not carry headquarters ZIP codes.
If something works brilliantly in India, why shouldn't Germany learn from it?
If a sales approach succeeds in the Middle East, why shouldn't Europe test it?
If Germany develops a better way to identify customer potential, why shouldn't Brazil, the US, or South Korea use it?
A global organization should not be a one-way street where headquarters sends knowledge outward.
It should be a global learning machine.
Knowledge must travel in every direction.
Country to headquarters.
Country to country.
Region to region.
Market to market.
The role of headquarters is therefore not to have all the answers.
Its role is to create the system that identifies the best answers — wherever they emerge — and makes them available to everyone.
That is what real global leadership means.
Of course, we need common standards. We need common systems. We need common KPIs, processes, and a shared strategic direction.
But standardization must never destroy intelligence.
One strategy does not mean one answer.
India is not Germany.
Japan is not Brazil.
Saudi Arabia is not the United States.
South Korea is not Italy.
The cultures are different. The competitive environments are different. Customer expectations are different. Decision-making processes are different. Market maturity is different.
Pretending otherwise does not create alignment.
It creates blindness.
We therefore need more India in our headquarters DNA.
More Asia.
More Middle East.
More South America.
More North America.
More Italy.
More Germany.
Not because one region is better than another.
But because each of them knows something the others don't.
That is the power of diversity in a global organization.
Diversity is not primarily about having different nationalities around a conference table.
Diversity creates value when different experiences, market realities, ideas, and ways of working actually influence decisions.
When the best local idea becomes a global capability.
When one country's success becomes another country's shortcut.
When we stop asking:
“How can headquarters make the countries better?”
And start asking:
“What can each country teach the entire company?”
That changes everything.
Because the strongest global company is not the company with the smartest headquarters.
It is the company that is best at collecting, connecting, and scaling the intelligence of its entire organization.
The British eventually had to learn that looking at the world from the top down creates enormous blind spots. Global corporations should not need history to teach them the same lesson again.
Go into the markets.
Listen to the people.
Find what works.
Challenge your own assumptions.
Take the best from everywhere.
And make it available to everyone.
Local excellence must become global excellence.
Because in a truly global organization, the whole should not simply be the sum of its parts.
It should be stronger because of them.

The Power of Diversity in a Global Organization.
When one country's success becomes another country's shortcut.
Companies spend an astonishing amount of time looking at themselves.
They discuss processes, structures, responsibilities, CRM systems, presentations, forecasts, budgets, approval loops, and organizational charts. They hold meetings about meetings and create reports about reports.
And eventually, they start believing that all of this represents reality.
It doesn’t.
The inside world of a company is always theory.
The outside world is the truth.
The truth is in the market.
It is with the customer.
It is with the people who sell, deliver, install, service, and negotiate every single day.
That is where reality happens.
And that is why great companies must learn to think from the outside in — never from the inside out.
Get Out of the Building
You cannot understand a market from a PowerPoint presentation.
You cannot understand customers from a CRM dashboard.
And you cannot understand your own organization by sitting in headquarters.
Data matters. Processes matter. Reports matter.
But they are representations of reality.
They are not reality itself.
The moment leaders confuse the map with the territory, organizations become dangerous to themselves. Decisions start being based on internal assumptions rather than external facts.
The antidote is surprisingly simple:
Get out.
Go where customers are.
Go where your salespeople are.
Go where your products are being used.
Watch.
Listen.
Ask questions.
And, most importantly, observe what is actually happening.
Reality Starts at the Bottom
Four Seasons understood this remarkably well.
Executives were temporarily required to perform some of the most basic jobs in the hotel: carrying luggage, washing dishes, inspecting rooms, and experiencing the daily operation from the ground up.
Why?
Because a management report can tell you that hotel operations are running smoothly.
Reality may tell you that a guest has been waiting 20 minutes.
A KPI can tell you that room quality is excellent.
Reality may show you a bathroom that is not properly cleaned.
A presentation can tell you that processes are efficient.
Reality may show you an employee struggling every day with a process designed by someone sitting hundreds of miles away.
The spreadsheet shows the theory. The hotel floor shows the truth.
Once executives experience the business from the bottom up, their questions change.
They stop discussing abstract processes and start asking about waiting times, bathrooms, workflows, customers, and employees.
They have seen reality with their own eyes.
Stop Looking From the Inside Out
This is where many companies go wrong.
They develop a product — and then ask how to sell it.
They create a process — and then force the market to follow it.
They define a strategy — and then expect customers and countries to fit into it.
That is backwards.
Do not start with what you have. Start with what is happening outside.
What is the customer trying to achieve?
What is changing in the market?
Where is the customer frustrated?
What are competitors doing better?
What do our people in the field see that headquarters does not?
Only then should the organization turn inward and ask:
What do we need to change?
That is outside-in thinking.
And it requires discipline because organizations naturally gravitate toward themselves. Internal topics are comfortable. They are controllable. They create calendars full of meetings and the comforting feeling of being busy.
The market does not care.
Focus on What Is Real
Leadership therefore also means concentration.
Concentrate on the few things outside the organization that actually determine success.
Customers.
Markets.
Competitors.
Value.
Execution.
Everything inside the company should serve those realities.
Processes are not the purpose.
Organizations are not the purpose.
CRM is not the purpose.
Meetings are certainly not the purpose.
They are tools. Nothing more.
The moment the tool becomes more important than the outside-world result it was created to achieve, bureaucracy begins.
And bureaucracy is nothing more than an organization becoming increasingly fascinated with itself.
The Market Always Has the Final Word
There is one brutal advantage to the outside world:
It does not care about our explanations.
Customers do not care how difficult our internal processes are.
Competitors do not care about our organizational restructuring.
The market does not care how beautiful our strategy presentation looks.
At the end of the day, there is only one question:
Did we create enough value to win?
That answer will never be found exclusively inside headquarters.
So stop staring into the corporate mirror.
Go outside.
Observe.
Listen.
Understand.
Then come back inside and change whatever needs to be changed.
Because the inside world is theory.
The outside world is the truth.
MEETING CULTURE: DON’T WASTE TIME.
Most companies don’t have a meeting culture. They have a meeting addiction.
After 35 years in management, 25 executive mandates and experience across 16 different industries, I have seen one corporate disease almost everywhere:
Too many meetings. Too many people. Too much talking. Too little action.
People sit in meetings because they were invited.
They invite others because they might be needed.
They discuss things that have already been discussed somewhere else.
And then they schedule another meeting to follow up on the meeting.
This is not management. This is organized waste.
I am convinced that at least 50% of all internal meetings could be killed tomorrow without damaging the business. In many cases, the opposite would happen: the organization would become faster, sharper and more productive.
And there is another number I always look at.
If 70–80% of your meeting time is spent internally and only 20–30% with customers, partners and the market, something is seriously wrong.
Your customers are outside.
Your competitors are outside.
Your opportunities are outside.
Your market share is outside.
So why the hell are you sitting inside talking to yourselves?
Here are my 10 rules for a ruthless, effective and efficient meeting culture:
1. KILL HALF OF YOUR MEETINGS.
Start there. Don’t optimize useless meetings. Eliminate them. If nobody can clearly explain what decision, action or result a recurring meeting produces, delete it.
2. STOP INVITING SPECTATORS.
A meeting is not a cinema. If 15 people are invited but only five actually contribute, ten people are wasting their time. Invite contributors, decision-makers and owners. Nobody else.
3. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE, DON’T ATTEND.
Your calendar invitation is not a court summons. If you cannot contribute, decide or learn something essential, decline. And if you realize during the meeting that you are useless there: leave.
4. STOP TALKING TO YOURSELVES. GO TO THE CUSTOMER.
When internal meeting time massively exceeds customer-facing time, your priorities are upside down. Every hour of internal corporate self-entertainment has an opportunity cost. Spend more time where the business actually happens: in the market.
5. KILL REDUNDANCY.
Three meetings discussing the same topic with slightly different groups are not alignment. They are organizational incompetence. One topic. One owner. One discussion. One decision. One execution.
6. DON’T REPEAT WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE JUST SAID.
Corporate meetings are full of people rephrasing the previous speaker to demonstrate their own relevance. Stop it. If it has been said, it has been said. Add something or shut up.
7. NO MEETING WITHOUT AN OUTCOME.
Every meeting must have a purpose: decide something, solve something, create something or assign action. “Exchange”, “alignment” and “update” are too often corporate camouflage for having no real objective. Meetings must produce movement.
8. CAMERAS ON. PERIOD.
In a virtual meeting, switching your camera off without a good reason is the digital equivalent of sitting in a conference room with your back turned to everyone. It signals distance and disengagement. If you attend, be present. Visibly.
9. DON’T CONFUSE A FULL CALENDAR WITH PERFORMANCE.
Eight meetings a day do not prove that you are important. They may prove that you have lost control of your time. Being permanently busy is not a badge of honor. Results are.
10. END WITH WHO DOES WHAT BY WHEN.
A meeting without clear actions, owners and deadlines was probably just a conversation. No vague “we should”. No “somebody needs to”. Name the owner. Name the action. Name the deadline. Then execute.
And one final thought:
Internal meetings do not create market share. Execution does. Customers do. Markets do.
So look at your calendar tomorrow morning.
Ask yourself three questions:
Do I really need to be there?
Does this meeting really need to exist?
Would this hour create more value if I spent it with a customer?
Then start deleting.
Your calendar should not document how busy you are.
It should reveal what your priorities are.
KILL MEETINGS.
KILL REDUNDANCY.
GET OUT INTO THE MARKET.
AND GET SHIT DONE.
