Developing our leaders has always been a key focus at Deutsche Bank. Our Leadership Capability Model outlines the Bank’s view on the capabilities which underpin effective leadership. It reflects Deutsche Bank’s strategic requirements and is backed by rigorous scientific research to pinpoint the knowledge and skills that form the core of effective leadership.

While the fundamental principles of leadership are enduring, leaders need to continuously develop themselves by applying capabilities in disruptive and changing contexts. They must simultaneously build capabilities of teams they manage and cultivate a culture which continuously learns, is adaptive and inclusive.  At the same time, fostering change and innovation cannot come at the expense of the customers’ best interests.  Behavior and business practices must be guided by a clear sense of purpose and principles at all times.
