LEAD21 Grand MasterClass · 3 days In Person · or 7 weeks Digital
Achieve in 21 hours what takes others years.
Three days to make your leadership a real operating system, so collaboration, efficiency and performance scale with the business. Growth that finally runs on a system. Measurably.
What is left to chance cannot scale. What is systematized multiplies. Leadership was the only corporate function without an operating system. Until now: Leadership has LEAD21.
The reality
Why transformations, post-merger integrations and growth often underperform.
Most transformations don't fail for lack of strategy. They fail because of what happens in the thousands of small moments between strategy and result.
01
Why does everything take so long?
One meeting spawns ten more, with no real follow-up and no hard follow-through. We need to decide and act faster, and somehow we can't.
02
What am I not seeing yet?
Wishful thinking and overlooked hairline cracks bring down the biggest projects. Silently, gradually, avoidably.
03
Why does my organization work against itself?
Without one shared operating system, every department optimizes for itself, and every handover across silos leaks time and money.
04
Where is my efficiency disappearing?
Meetings that deliver too little, problems that surface too late, misunderstandings that compound. Together they cost your best people energy every day.
The system
LEAD21, the operating system for leadership.
21 evidence-based methods and mechanics that take effect instantly across hierarchy, department and country borders. Plug & play, from day one. Positive behavioral change is not hoped for, it is structurally produced.
9 Chambers & LaserMeeting
Structured meeting methodology. Collaboration efficiency increased, immediately and measurably.
Clarity Circle
Clarification of responsibility and communication. Who owns what, who decides what, with no gray zone.
Nonverbal Leadership Techniques
Create impact before a single word is spoken. Leadership that is felt in the room.
PoS · Probability of Success
Systematic increase in the probability of success of entire initiatives, measurably.
Superior GoalSetting
Precise, binding, energizing goal-setting for everyone involved, at every level.
Stakeholder Management
Systematic alignment instead of political maneuvering. Structured clarity.
Plus evidence-based performance measurement with four evaluation methods: clarity, efficiency, collaboration, performance and stress. See all 21 methods →

Your most important touchpoints – Global Leadership Society PREMIUM.
Driving home from the office. The questions come: next week the post-merger meeting. Then a new area of responsibility is coming my way. And how do I develop the behavior and competence of individual team members – ideally so that it shows visible progress month after month? How do I dissolve blaming & complaining?
This week there's the Premium Society Meeting – that's exactly where I'll bring these topics.
Premium Society Meeting
How do I moderate two parties who don't understand each other? I'm on the steering committee but I don't chair it – and everyone talks over each other. How do I influence it positively? And next week I'm at the client's, a big round – how do I best read the group?
That's exactly why I book the 1:1 Office Day with Gerald – maybe even two slots. I'll bring these situations with me.
1:1 Office Day with Gerald Huesch
Driving home, the mind keeps working: I need a new supplier. Tips for a new marketing agency. Then a friend's investment project that I believe in and want to connect. And my own project idea, for which I'm looking for co-investors.
Oh right – there's the Superior Networking Meeting.
Superior Networking Meeting
My teenagers, 17 and 15, are finding their way. At the same time I'm looking for a domestic internship for my daughter and one abroad for my son. How do I open the right doors for them?
For their path I'm planning the Family Leadership Event – and I'll take the internships to the Superior Networking Meeting.
Family Leadership EventSuperior Networking Meeting
Just before falling asleep: I need something for myself, too. I want to keep growing, and this time I'm looking for calm, for a different kind of personal growth. Longevity matters to me as well. I don't need a vacation, I need a special environment and people I understand, connect with and feel enriched by.
There's the High-Frequency Growth Experience in Antarctica – calm, combined with longevity. That's it! Maybe my partner will come along.

The human behind the system
Gerald Huesch, architect of LEAD21.
More than 30,000 leaders trained and accompanied in over 30 countries, with a combined responsibility volume of more than €570 billion. References from NASA and Rolls-Royce to leading companies from 30+ industries.
In 2018, Dr. Charles Pellerin invited him to serve as second chair in NASA's Mission Success Training Program. For two years, Gerald Huesch trained NASA leaders side by side with Pellerin.
“This endless pursuit is my life. In every little way I can, to positively change the way how we lead in the future.”
