HM 09 | Imparting meaning and meaning-oriented leadership at universities and colleges | 1st edition

As numerous scientific studies make clear, people are looking for meaning in their individual areas of life. This applies to the area of ​​private life or in the family, leisure time, hobbies, etc. as well as to the area of ​​professional activity and for training in companies, vocational academies or for studies at universities and colleges. At universities and colleges, those responsible in management as well as in research and teaching should deal more closely with the topic of the search for meaning, the conveying of meaning and meaningful leadership. The apprentices or students are looking for the meaning of their lives, their professional activity and their studies. The parents want a meaningful education / education / personal development for their children. Companies expect university graduates, applicants and new employees to have the right qualifications. The teachers and researchers (scientists) at universities and colleges are also looking for meaning in their work, which also applies to science management and all managers involved. On the part of business, society and politics, a meaningful institution university or college is sought, which should fulfill its educational and research mandate as optimally and efficiently as possible at a high level. This clearly defines the expectations placed on universities and colleges. The task of the university or college management consists, among other things, in ensuring that the high expectations are met. For this purpose, the appropriate framework conditions must be created, professionalization opportunities used to develop skills and the necessary, meaningful, value-based culture of trust must be shaped. Against this background, it becomes clear that science management should ensure that meaning is conveyed and that leadership is meaningful. Above all, meaning-oriented leadership has a multiplier effect. If she manages to ensure that the employees in research and teaching are motivated, enthusiastic and carry out their tasks with a positive attitude, this will also be transferred to the students. This also motivates them, inspires them and strengthens and shapes their positive attitude in the long term. They develop their personality, which, alongside research and teaching, is an essential part of a university's mission.
