English version of the course 200.042 ## Target group All employees at universities in NRW. ## Description For managers, the rule is: intervene as little as possible, but as much as necessary in a conflict involving their own employees. As a starting point, it is important to also recognize hidden conflicts and assess their severity. The theoretical basis for this is provided by Friedrich Glasl's model of the nine stages of conflict escalation. It clearly shows how conflicts can escalate if timely intervention is neglected. For each escalation stage, managers will learn various methods of conflict resolution - from the promotion of independent conflict resolution to mediation and arbitration as well as to the intervention of power. ## What you’ll learn - Recognizing when a conflict is brewing in your team - Gauging which level of escalation the conflict has reached - Empowering your employees to resolve conflicts on their own - Learning about methods for mediation and decisive action - Knowing what to do in seriously escalating conflicts ## Access You can log in with your university account or an existing ILIAS account of HÜF and access the course without any further registration or activation. > To the course: [Conflict Resolution for Managers](https://ilias.huef-nrw.de/ilias/goto.php?target=crs_45343&client_id=huefilias) --- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us [elearning@huef-nrw.de](mailto:elearning@huef-nrw.de) ---

In teams like these, there is often no disciplinary leader. Instead, the team has a lateral leader. That leader is then responsible for the project results but without being a superior in charge of the team.

We will use a practical example to show you how lateral leadership operates and what leadership tools are of special importance. ## What you’ll learn - Knowing the importance and relevance of lateral leadership - Knowing the difference between lateral and disciplinary leadership - Understanding how lateral leadership works even without disciplinary authority - Discovering the tools of lateral leadership and the benefits they bring - Dealing constructively with possible conflicts ## Access You can log in with your university account or an existing ILIAS account of HÜF and access the course without any further registration or activation. > To the course: [Lateral Leadership—Leading Effectively Without Being a Supervisor](https://ilias.huef-nrw.de/ilias/goto.php?target=crs_45347&client_id=huefilias) --- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us [elearning@huef-nrw.de](mailto:elearning@huef-nrw.de) ---

English version of the course 200.081 ## Target group All employees at universities in NRW. ## Description In order to hear what the other person wants to say, it is not enough to simply listen. Important information can be lost if the listener does not fully concentrate on the conversation partner and - where necessary - encourage him to continue talking. One method for shaping this communicative process effectively is "active listening". It provides guidance that allows listeners to understand the concerns of the other party truly. "Active listening" is thus one of the most important communication tools for team workers and managers. "Active listening" shows participants how to achieve better results through concentration and verbal control techniques. ## What you’ll learn - Being able to use active listening as a method - Using the advantages of active listening to hold more effective discussions with staff, colleagues and partners - Effectively using the different techniques of active listening - Being able to hear what colleagues, staff and team colleagues need, in order to be able to work productively ## Access You can log in with your university account or an existing ILIAS account of HÜF and access the course without any further registration or activation. > To the course: [Active Listening](https://ilias.huef-nrw.de/ilias/goto.php?target=crs_45352&client_id=huefilias) --- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us [elearning@huef-nrw.de](mailto:elearning@huef-nrw.de) --- 

## Zielgruppe Alle Beschäftigen an Hochschulen in NRW. ## Kurzbeschreibung Jeder Mensch ist einzigartig. Trotzdem treffen wir bei unterschiedlichen Menschen immer wieder auf ähnliche Persönlichkeitseigenschaften. Typenmodelle helfen als Vereinfachung einer komplexen Welt dabei, Menschen besser zu verstehen. In Ihrer Führungsrolle haben Sie mit den unterschiedlichsten Mitarbeitertypen zu tun und sollten wissen, wie Sie mit wem am besten umgehen. Damit alle Mitarbeitenden in Ihrem Team ihr Potenzial voll ausschöpfen können, ist es wichtig, sie entsprechend ihrer Persönlichkeit beziehungsweise ihres Persönlichkeitstyps individuell anzusprechen, abzuholen, zu fordern und zu entwickeln. Typgerechte Führung ermöglicht Ihnen genau das: einzuschätzen, was für ein Typ Ihr Gegenüber ist, und dann aus dem Repertoire der Handlungen treffsicher genau die Strategie auszuwählen, die genau diese Person bestmöglich abholt. So gelingt es Ihnen nicht nur, typgerecht auf die einzelnen Mitarbeitenden einzugehen, sondern auch, Teams so zusammenzusetzen, dass Gleichartigkeit vermittelnd und Unterschiedlichkeit befruchtend wirken. ## Lernziele - Verstehen, was Typenmodelle sind und wie sie unsere Arbeitswelt vereinfachen, aber auch beschränken - Menschen entlang eines Typenmodells einschätzen lernen - Schärfen der individuellen Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung für die tägliche Führungsaufgabe ## Zugang Sie können sich mit Ihrem Hochschulaccount oder einem bereits bestehendem ILIAS Account der HÜF einloggen und den Kurs ohne weitere Anmeldung oder Freischaltung abrufen. > Zum Kurs: [Typgerecht führen](https://ilias.huef-nrw.de/ilias/goto.php?target=crs_45183&client_id=huefilias) --- Bei Fragen wenden Sie sich gerne an [elearning@huef-nrw.de](mailto:elearning@huef-nrw.de) ---

English version of the course 200.072 ## Target group All employees at universities in NRW. ## Description Feedback is an essential tool for managing team cooperation. Feedback is a give and take where both can and must be learned. The importance of feedback for personality development was also recognized in the 1970s by social psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingram. They developed the "Johari Window" which shows that self-perception and external perception differ. The Johari Window also says that through feedback, the "blind spot" can be reduced and the scope for action increased. Positive feedback usually leads to the stabilization and development of the addressed behavior. It clears the way for team-promoting behavioral changes. ## What you’ll learn - Learning how feedback can create a productive atmosphere in a team - Finding out what is important when giving feedback - Understanding how to gracefully accept feedback - Discovering how peer feedback can broaden your own perspective - Learning how to address critical points so that something will actually change ## Access You can log in with your university account or an existing ILIAS account of HÜF and access the course without any further registration or activation. > To the course: [Feedback between Colleagues](https://ilias.huef-nrw.de/ilias/goto.php?target=crs_45422&client_id=huefilias) --- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us [elearning@huef-nrw.de](mailto:elearning@huef-nrw.de) ---
