Bus/Financial - Management / Oversigt til lederudviklingsseminar
Danish term or phrase: trækkraft
Anerkendende Ledelse bruges i denne sammenhæng som trækkraft i et fremtidsperspektiv som en måde at mindsette sig selv som leder på og dermed en måde at føde sin ledelse af afdelingens medarbejdere på.

Not very good Danish... Does anyone have a suggestion for 'trækkraft'?
