Dr. Shamsey Oloko at the brand eins Leadershift Conference on 11.09. in Hamburg

On 11.09.2026, the Leadershift Conference for young leaders takes place at Hamburg's Oberhafen. As part of the program, Dr. Shamsey Oloko leads the workshop "Martial Arts for the Mind."

How to Improve the Quality of Your Thinking

How do I recognize thinking errors before they become leadership mistakes?

As a leader, you must constantly make decisions and justify them – often under time pressure, uncertainty, or conflicting expectations. The problem: If you don't recognize your own thinking errors, you not only make worse decisions, but lead yourself and others with less clarity, direction, and conviction.

How to do it better

Critical thinking is not dry theory, but a practical tool for leadership and self-leadership. In this workshop by Shamsey Oloko, you will learn how to organize your thoughts more clearly, recognize typical thinking errors, and formulate better arguments.

Questions answered in the workshop

• Why does (self-)leadership need critical thinking?

• Which thinking errors are particularly dangerous?

• How can the quality of thinking be improved through regular training?

• How do conceptualizing, arguing, and problematizing help in everyday work?
