It was four years ago when Dora Solymar (then Leadership Development Manager at Telekom, local subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom) came up to us and asked if we would be interested in developing a mobile application for mentoring. She dreamt of a mobile tool that could support their managers as a kind of a digital mentor in their actual people management challenges on the spot.
When we think of the impact leaders make in an organization, it is not what they say or think that matters, but what their subordinates actually do. If a team is underperforming, the need is articulated to develop its manager. Many cases smart buzzwords, spectacular training sessions or a never-proved-but-extremely-well-sounded-flash-experience is where the story ends.
