Testimonials

"As a Leader in a continually evolving environment, I am interested in understanding the psychology of leadership and developing the skills to influence team members to act in ways that drive outcomes. The Leading with Psychological Intelligence program at ESMT provided a rich 4-day immersive experience that covered practical strategies and techniques to understand human behaviour and mobilize talent. Additionally, the program provided an incredibly valuable opportunity to network, engage, and learn from other leaders. Participating in this course has equipped me with greater tools and knowledge to adapt and respond to business challenges in a way that has a tangible and positive impact on team members."

Gerd Müller-Pfeiffer

"I had the privilege of spending four days at ESMT Berlin alongside Professor Konstantin Korotov and a group of exceptional global leaders to explore the concept of 'Leading with Psychological Intelligence'. The experience involved gaining a better understanding of human behavior within organizations, with a focus on enhancing the reception of our ideas and work requests, as well as fostering more productive working relationships.

By prioritizing people and adopting innovative leadership philosophies, we can enable greater speed, foster continuous learning, and empower employees in their roles.

Lifelong learning is one of the key values in my life." 

Gerd Müller-Pfeiffer, Nestlé Deutschland AG, Head of the Coffee Cluster Germany, Austria, Switzerland

“It was a pleasure to participate in the “Leading with Psychological Intelligence” program led by Professor Konstantin Korotov. I particularly enjoyed the way this program was structured. It had a perfect blend of theoretical sections with fruitful discussions alongside executives from around the world. It provided time for personal reflection to assess my own leadership styles, motivations, and behaviors, which allowed me to gain very useful insights on how to become a better leader. And I will not forget the after-lunch programs that made the experience even more memorable!"

Sébastien Catteau, Director, EOS Partners

Andrea Pospischil

"I was initially skeptical when I saw the agenda, with only one person teaching the Leading with Psychological Intelligence program. However, my skepticism quickly turned into a pleasant surprise within just 10 minutes. Konstantin Korotov is absolutely terrific and delivers an impressive experience to the participants. He gets straight to the point and keeps you engaged. As my colleague who participated in the program last year put it, 'You could listen to him all day.'

The content provided was excellent, striking a balance between practicality and avoiding excessive theory. It is highly relevant for businesses of all types, and the inclusion of diverse case studies adds to its effectiveness. The class was incredibly diverse, representing various companies, industries, and roles. The participation of others was truly enriching, as they brought unique perspectives to the discussions."
