In a competitive economic and business environment, companies are under constant pressure. To survive, their managers and executives must be as proactive, agile and flexible as possible whilst making quick decisions; as a result, more managers are calling on professional coaches. Coaches act as sounding boards; they offer different perspectives and can help to facilitate the decision-making process. Despite this greater openness towards coaching in recent years, there still exists a certain reluctance to take the step of hiring a coach. This is reflected in all kinds of prejudices and negative beliefs about coaching. In this book, Leen Lambrechts, Marleen Boen and Georges Anthoon aim to demystify coaching. In their flowing and accessible style, they shed light on what coaching really is, why there is a growing need for coaching and what exactly can be achieved through it. In addition, they clarify some misconceptions about coaching.
An illuminating work revealing the long history of xenophobia—and what it means for today’s divided world Over the last few years, it has been impossible to ignore the steady resurgence of xenophobia. The European migrant crisis and immigration from Central America to the United States have placed Western advocates of globalization on the defensive, and a “New Xenophobia” seems to have emerged out of nowhere. In this fascinating study, George Makari traces the history of xenophobia from its origins to the present day. Often perceived as an ancient word for a timeless problem, “xenophobia” was in fact coined only a century ago, tied to heated and formative Western debates over nationalism, globalization, race, and immigration. From Richard Wright to Sigmund Freud, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir, writers and thinkers have long grappled with this most dangerous of phobias. Drawing on their work, Makari demonstrates how we can better understand the problem that is so crucial to our troubled times.
