For clients from industry and commerce whos roof are literally on fire 🔥 from the point of view of personnel resources, I take on interim projects or tasks in middle management.
Alexander Kronsteiner e.U.
My credo: " Reliable to the goal through clarity, structure and focus -.
sustainable through experience, flexibility and honesty".
In leadership roles, I love to solve or shape things in a consistent, calm and structured way. In this way I relieve from pressure on acute bottlenecks in a stressful environment or implement difficult change processes.
In contrast to classical management consulting, my focus is not on theory but on temporary, active hands-on implementation like…
✅ when there is a short-term need due to unexpected resignation, illness or burnout of managers
✅ when special projects cannot be handled by existing staff who are busy with day-to-day business.
✅ when experienced implementation support is needed for reorganisation, process development or restructuring
✅ when there is a general need for management support
✅ when an “outsider” can have a better effect in bridging extraordinary situations in the company
Characteristics and Philosophy
Due to my international, wide-ranging experience, I can adapt to new tasks very quickly and get inspired about them.
Of particular advantage are …
✅ my leadership experience and team building qualities
✅ my technical background and experience in middle (C-1) management,
✅ my experience in R&D and product management in the field of mechanical engineering
✅ my structured, strategic approach,
✅ my empathic, communicative qualities,
✅ as well as my consistency and perseverance.
Only win-win results are meaningful and sustainable –
that is my firm conviction.
