Leadership in Reduced Working Hours: Co-leadership, Part-Time Models, and Delegation of Leadership Tasks
摘要
FIRA (acronym stands for “Leadership in Reduced Working Hours” in German) stands for working time models where the leader works less than 100% of the time in the leadership function. These models range from part-time to co-leadership models (dual leadership) to delegation models with restructured work areas. The chapter outlines various application scenarios in which FIRA can be used. In addition to research findings, practical recommendations for the preparation, planning, introduction, and optimization of FIRA are given. Finally, the opportunities of FIRA for the future challenges of companies are discussed and elaborated.
