"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

The Harzburger Model

The Harzburger model is a management and leadership model developed from the AFW Wirtschaftsakademie Bad Harzburg GmbH.

In our days the academy represents this model only fundamentally. A flexible and modular leadership model is preferred over situational guidelines based on a rather closed model.

The Harzburger model integrates these concepts:

  • Management by delegation (which often is said to be the Harzburger model)
  • Management by Exception
  • Management by Objectives



Because of the strong emphasis of personal competence and responsibility the Harzburger model is seen as very close to Management by Projects.
