Success Is Reached By People.
The Schlageter Institute
We value data, facts, and figures, which serve as foundational elements in all our programs, preparations, and analyses at si. However, we firmly believe that economic success is achieved by people. It is ideas, management skills, effective communication, and individual personality traits that make the difference. Hence, in all our endeavors, we emphasize the human element, prioritizing clear communication, precise and realistic analysis, and proactive support to nurture self-management and accountability. Throughout our activities, we acknowledge that every individual is not merely a means to an end but also an end in themselves.
Our 7 Guiding Principles
Those Who Want To Lead Must Be Good
We possess a steadfast ethical foundation, particularly as we often interact with the most valuable and delicate asset: the human psyche. Governed by these seven principles, we diligently safeguard those who place their trust in us.
01 Confidentiality
We exercise absolute discretion and safeguard data and information entrusted to us under all circumstances. What we hear or see stays with us exclusively.
02 Self-Reflection
We presuppose the infinite value of every human being and are thus ever critical of ourselves and the methods we use. We would never think that we are right simply because we are experts.
03 Humility
We are aware of our limitations and acknowledge them. We are not good at everything.
04 Appreciation
We like people. We treat those who are entrusted to us with dignity and respect.
05 Integrity
We never use our knowledge to exercise power over people or organizations but only for our clients’ greater good.
06 Independence
We remember that there are no good or bad people. There are only suitable or not-so-suitable individuals. This is also true for our clients. That is why we reject assignments where we think we do not fit the bill or the client.
07 Enthusiasm
Whatever we do we do with passion. We never do anything half-heartedly but always with our full commitment. We are aware that we carry a large responsibility und we are determined to contribute as much as we can to the development of companies and the people therein.
Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.
- Immanuel Kant: AA IV, 429
