Become a Circler
Stella Circle was founded out of the conviction that leadership must and can function better. Stefanie Salata and Dr Tanja Wielgoss have experienced C-level themselves: the opportunities, the pressure, the loneliness. They know what is missing at the top and what is needed there.
Our vision is an economy that thinks in a humane way. An economy in which leadership is enjoyable, effective and empowering. A new leadership reality – progressive, people-centred, effective. Through leaders who act confidently, reflectively and courageously. People who make decisions with conviction, communicate with clarity and shape the future with enthusiasm.
We are convinced that satisfied, confident leaders are the key to successful transformation. Because leadership must change if organisations want to remain fit for the future.
What we want to achieve
C-level executives are often forced to manage day-to-day business instead of really shaping it. They bear responsibility at the highest level – without support, without a mirror, without space for reflection. Stella Circle offers this space: as a home base, as a safe haven, as a powerful platform for exchange, further development and self-empowerment. Our members come from a wide variety of industries and roles. What connects them, is a positive view of humanity. The will to shape things. And the willingness to see responsibility not as a burden, but as an opportunity.
Our mission:
- Strengthen managers in their personality and effectiveness.
- Promote diversity, fairness and reflective action in business.
- Create space for new career models beyond traditional linearity.
- Provide fresh perspectives to make leadership enjoyable again.
- Establish a culture of trust in which development is possible. Even - and especially - at the top level.
Our compass
When leadership changes, progress can be achieved. Our 12 theses are our compass: for progressive leadership, for courageous decisions and for a new level of effectiveness at the top.
