These studies address women, who are about to enter executive positions or wish to enhance their leadership competences.

Over a period of seven months, the contact studies offer close-to-practice expert knowledge on leadership issues. FiF consists of seven modules of two days each. The topics cover: Leadership competence, presentation, leading of teams, conflict and project management, change processes, process management, and diversity management. According to Diez, “also the accompanying offers of coaching for every participant and small groups as well as learning partnerships play an important role for the transfer of the knowledge to the own field of work”.
