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
  • Mindful­ness and inner peace
  • Authen­ti­ci­ty as a leader

2. Thin­king – Cogni­ti­ve fle­xi­bi­li­ty and innovation

  • Cri­ti­cal and sys­te­mic thinking
  • Coping with complexity
  • Crea­ti­ve pro­blem solving

3. Rela­ti­onship – empa­thy and social competence

  • Emo­tio­nal intelligence
  • Buil­ding trus­ting relationships
  • Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on and con­flict management

4. Col­la­bo­ra­ti­on – Team dyna­mics and leadership

  • Col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve leadership
  • Diver­si­ty and inclusion
  • Trust-based col­la­bo­ra­ti­on

5. Acting – Cou­ra­ge for change

  • Resi­li­ence and self-efficacy
  • Adap­ti­vi­ty in uncer­tain times
  • Sus­tainable decision-making

How can you use the IDGs in your job?

In my Prac­ti­ce for Psy­cho­the­ra­py and Coa­ching in Munich, I sup­port you in inte­gra­ting the IDGs into your ever­y­day pro­fes­sio­nal life. Through indi­vi­du­al coa­ching and psy­cho­the­ra­peu­tic sup­port, you will deve­lop the neces­sa­ry inner skills to remain suc­cessful, healt­hy and balan­ced in the long term.

Your advan­ta­ges:

  • Lear­ning effec­ti­ve stress manage­ment techniques
  • Streng­thening resi­li­ence and men­tal flexibility
  • Impro­ving self-manage­ment and emo­tio­nal intelligence
  • Pro­mo­ti­on of a sus­tainable and value-ori­en­ted lea­der­ship style

Conclusion: Sustainable business and leadership coaching starts with inner development

The Inner Deve­lo­p­ment Goals are a valuable tool for mana­gers and employees who want to streng­then their self-manage­ment skills and remain suc­cessful and satis­fied in their job in the long term. In my prac­ti­ce in Munich, I accom­pa­ny you to app­ly the­se prin­ci­ples in prac­ti­ce – for a sus­tainable, resi­li­ent and suc­cessful work-life balance.
