Welcome to the Institute for Mixed Leadership
The Institute for Mixed Leadership (IML) bundles research activities, consulting and training offers on the topics of innovative leadership, change in leadership culture as well as diversity as a success factor for companies at the Faculty 3: Business and Law of the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences.
The aim of the IML is to identify and dismantle structural barriers and existing stereotypical attributions that have a negative impact on the composition of leadership in organizations. The practice-oriented research work contributes to increasing the proportion and acceptance of women in leadership positions as well as mixed-gender and diverse leadership teams.
Members of the directorate conduct research and teach on gender issues and current challenges in the context of management and leadership, including dealing with and reflecting on role stereotypes, career-oriented networking, balancing career and family, leadership and gender competencies.
In addition to its broad-based research, the IML offers events and consulting services oriented to the needs of practice. Here, too, the focus is on equality and equal opportunities as well as mindfulness and competence enhancement in the area of mixed leadership.
The IML also runs the Academy Mixed Leadership (German only). The aim of this management academy is to shape the change in management culture and to raise awareness of the increasing economic necessity of diversity. (Junior-)Executives are to be empowered and strengthened by suitable training offers for the assumption and exercise of leadership tasks.
Please feel free to contact us, we look forward to exchanging ideas with you.
