Open Seminar with Boris Grundl

Making leadership tangible – that was the core focus of the open seminar with Boris Grundl, recently held in the exclusive atmosphere of Schloss Marbach on Lake Constance. Organized by the Grundl Leadership Institute, this format was aimed at leaders from a wide range of industries who wanted to further develop their leadership skills – practical, personal, and visionary.
Boris Grundl is not only an experienced founder and entrepreneur but also one of the leading figures in leadership and personal development.
He has extensively studied the mechanics of successful leadership and developed a unique model: Leading Simple.
This concept is based on a clear, systematic, and practice-proven methodology that understands leadership as a craft that can be learned – far removed from complicated theories.
The Grundl Leadership Institute does more than just convey knowledge – it actively promotes leadership accountability.
Its aim is to strengthen leaders’ identification with their role, overcome stagnation in personal development, and foster sustainable employee engagement.
After all, leaders often face challenges such as low employee engagement or high levels of stress among their teams – leading to unnecessary absenteeism and reduced employee satisfaction.

The Leading Coach

Boris Grundl views leadership as a process that creates clear orientation and helps overcome challenges without constant emotional overload.
Today, leaders need the right mindset to not only accept change but to see it as an opportunity.
This is exactly where the Grundl Leadership Institute’s approach begins: through targeted reflection, a results-oriented mindset, and conscious handling of responsibility, leadership becomes not only more effective but also more sustainable.
The seminar at Schloss Marbach offered a perfect combination of didactics, interactive discussions, and practical applications.
The tranquil setting of Lake Constance enabled deep concentration on one’s own strengths and the development of new perspectives.
In this intense learning atmosphere, participants could gain valuable insights and achieve lasting results for their leadership roles.
True leadership is more than giving orders – it’s about taking responsibility, inspiring people, and achieving sustainable results.
Get inspired, grow beyond yourself, and gain fresh impulses for your leadership role.

The Starting Point: Why an Open Seminar?

Many traditional leadership trainings fall short.
They either focus solely on structured leadership models or only on personal development – lacking the holistic integration of both elements: a synthesis of clear methodology, thoughtful human development, and strategic implementation.
Why an open seminar? Because here, leaders from different companies and industries come together intentionally. This exchange brings new impulses, fresh perspectives, and valuable networking opportunities. Participants learn from one another, gain insights into different leadership styles, and reflect on their own approaches.
This is exactly where the open seminar with Boris Grundl excels.
As an experienced leadership expert, speaker, and renowned management trainer, he masterfully combines theory and practice in a way that not only educates leaders but transforms them sustainably.
His approach merges the proven methodology of systemic leadership with the art of individual human development – because true leadership means recognizing and fostering the abilities of others and enabling them to reach their full potential.

“The interplay between location, team, and our institute is crucial.
We notice that whenever it doesn’t run smoothly, we have to expend much more energy to create presence.
That’s exactly why we are here – in this serenity, by Lake Constance.
Because here, it happens almost naturally.”

Marbach Castle as a Learning Location

Another key success factor is the learning environment itself.
Those who genuinely want to focus on personal and professional development need space for reflection, clarity, and new inspiration.
Our facilities at Hotel Schloss Marbach provide exactly that: tranquility, exclusivity, and an atmosphere that inspires. Away from everyday business, this special environment opens up new ways of thinking about leadership.

In this special environment, it becomes easier to engage with key questions of corporate culture:
How can leadership be made more authentic, effective, and clear?
How can organizations be better managed through targeted coaching and a conscious leadership attitude?
What role does one’s own influence as a trainer or leader play in the development of others?

Boris Grundl, a skilled keynote speaker with profound academy experience and a sharp awareness for leadership topics, offers not just knowledge but a deep engagement with one’s leadership personality – an experience that leaves a lasting impact and can be immediately applied.
Schloss Marbach offers the perfect setting to not only understand leadership but to integrate it meaningfully and structurally into everyday practice.
Because only those who experience leadership consciously can truly change it.

The Challenge: More Than Just Conveying Theory

Knowledge alone isn’t enough – true leadership arises through experience and consistent application.
In leadership development, it’s not about understanding concepts alone but about making them tangible in practice.
Many seminars remain theoretical, but without reflection and real-world testing, learning effects quickly fade.

Practice Over Theory: What Leadership Really Requires

The greatest challenge for leaders is not acquiring knowledge but applying it.
It’s not enough to know a model – the real art lies in using it in real situations.
Leading Simple tackles this challenge: Clear principles that are easy to understand yet have a profound impact. Instead of overloaded models or abstract theories, it’s about personal insights and practical, directly applicable methods.

Leadership means empowering employees, inspiring them, and providing clear direction – not through lectures, but through lived experience, reflection, and practice.

The Right Environment for Sustainable Change

Learning means change – and change needs the right setting.
Those who want to evolve need a place that allows for new impulses and promotes concentration.
Schloss Marbach offers exactly that: an environment that lifts leaders out of their usual context, providing the tools to question and expand their perspectives.
Here, development happens intentionally, through interactive formats, discussions, and practical exercises that solidify learning and integrate it into daily leadership practice.

From Knowledge to Impact: Making Leadership Visible

Ultimately, it is the intensity of the experience that determines whether knowledge remains mere information or becomes lived practice.
Those who are willing to develop themselves gain not only new insights but also shape leadership consciously and effectively.

After the seminar, changes become visible: Employees experience clearer communication, improved structures, and a leader who leads with conviction.
A style of leadership emerges that is not only effective but also inspiring – and that is what truly makes the difference.

Result: Sustainable Leadership Competence & Personal Transformation

Amidst tranquil nature, leaders experience a learning environment that promotes focus and opens up new perspectives. What makes this seminar so effective? It’s the combination of solid knowledge, practical application, and deep reflection. Leaders not only recognize their own potential but also learn how to effectively motivate and develop their teams. True leadership starts with self-efficacy – the awareness that you can actively shape change rather than staying stuck in old patterns. The key term: results-oriented leadership.

Effective Leadership – More Than Just Knowledge

Many employees experience leadership merely as directive – but true leadership is much more:
It’s understanding people, recognizing potentials, and setting purposeful impulses.
This is exactly where the seminar makes the difference.
Participants learn strategies that boost their own motivation and create a workplace culture where employees feel heard and valued.
Studies show that inspiring leadership significantly reduces employee burnout and absenteeism.
A healthy, appreciative work environment increases both productivity and satisfaction.

From Theory to Sustainable Implementation

Sustainable change results from continuous development.
Participants undergo an in-depth examination of their leadership personality and realize that results-driven leadership is not about control, but about trust and smart guidance.
Optimistic leaders understand that targeted motivation achieves more than pressure.
They learn to lead their teams collaboratively, fostering success and motivating teams toward shared goals.
Those who consciously engage with their leadership role gain a new perspective – one that inspires instead of dominates.
