Inner Development Goals (IDG): Personal Development for Business and Leadership
What are the IDG?
The Inner Development Goals (IDG) are a scientifically sound concept for personal development, which is specifically aimed at promoting inner abilities that are important for successful and sustainable leadership, but also in normal business everyday life and for each of us.
The IDGs were created in response to the question of what inner capabilities people need to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations (UN). The concept is based on scientific findings from psychology, neuroscience and leadership research and is constantly being further developed in cooperation with researchers, companies and organizations worldwide, including e.g. Stockholm School of Economics, Harvard University, Karolinska Institutet, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), The New Division, UN Development Programme (UNDP), Club of Rome, Inner Green Deal, IKEA, Google, Spotify, Natura and Co.
Why are IDG important for business and leadership?
Modern working worlds and modern leadership require much more than professional competence – emotional intelligence, self-reflection and social skills are crucial to be successful and satisfied at the same time. The IDG help executives better manage stress, communicate clearly and make empathetic decisions. Especially in challenging times, they are a valuable tool for sustainable and responsible cooperation, corporate management, and progress.
The five dimensions of the Inner Development Goals
The IDGs are divided into five central dimensions:
1. Being – Inner clarity and mindfulness
- Self-perception and reflection

2. Thinking – Cognitive flexibility and innovation
- Critical and systemic thinking

- Creative problem solving
3. Relationship – empathy and social competence

- Communication and conflict management
4. Collaboration – Team dynamics and leadership
- Collaborative leadership
- Diversity and inclusion

5. Acting – Courage for change
