MW AG | Assessments and Coachings for Executives

Through our unique executive assessments we enable employers to perceive and experience each candidate in all facets of their professional and private personas. This is a process which requires sufficient time and space – an investment that pays off for everyone involved.

There are many layers to an individual’s personality – these include their existing talents and skills, as well as their potential. That’s why, right from the outset, we combine a diagnostic focus with a resource-centred view of the client’s potential, thereby laying the ideal foundation for subsequent development processes.

Leadership in
Transformation

As a leader, your life is marked to a high degree by change. Digitalisation and globalisation are wreaking their influence on business models and business success factors. They have a disruptive effect on traditional forms of work, and on our management principles and motivation systems. At the same time, managers and key people from all areas are being confronted with increasing organisational, social and process-related complexity. We are no longer able to face these challenges simply by adhering to the familiar experiences, methods and behavioural patterns that have worked in the past. Thus, the demands being placed on you, as a decision maker, are changing.

How do you deal with the increasing complexity?

Recruitment and
Development

Professional recruitment and development of managers and other key people are key factors in achieving effective leadership within dynamic structures, and gaining across-the-board commitment from everyone involved.

Our individual assessments and coaching sessions are aimed at both the concrete professional environment and the person behind the manager – both of which are central drivers for a successful long-term transformation. These are effective levers for achieving greater openness, creativity and acceptance of change.

What factors are important drivers for you today?

Daniel Aufdenblatten

“Maya Weber puts people first. Right from the start I felt sure I had come to the right place! It was professional, intensive, and exacting - but despite that, we still found ourselves laughing a lot. That was my experience of being assessed by Maya Weber and her team. The in-depth interviews and precise analysis not only yield an uncompromising view of your own areas for development, they also give motivating insights into your personal strengths.”

Philipp Perren

“Thanks to her authentic and thoroughly honest nature, Maya Weber didn't just put the newly chosen CEO through an intensive yet efficient performance assessment - at the same time, she was also able to do a health check on the Chair of the Bord of Directors and the cooperation between the Board of Directors and the management. She was able to call to life ideas that otherwise would only have unfolded at a later stage.”

Ivo Meier

In both my professional and private lives I have had the privilege of meeting many mentors and inspiring people. Among these, one mentor – Maya Weber – has influenced me the most. To Maya:

You gave me the courage to overcome my fears and put aside my self-doubts – and to follow my passions and ideals. You planted a seed, and for the past three years I have been following the path that you sketched for me. I managed to join the dots between two different worlds: the art that I create helps me every day to navigate my job and my private life. And people really do listen – just like you promised. I’m still a little shy of doing the opposite as well: using my art to actively inspire others. But I’m on the way, and I’m nearly there.
