Spitzenleistung durch Leadership
In den Wirtschaftsnachrichten häufen sich die Skandale: von Abzockern, Missmanagement und einem Verlust an Menschlichkeit ist die Rede. Zugleich wachsen mit dem Ruf nach besserer Führung die Herausforderungen an das Management: Schnelligkeit, Ideenreichtum und Leidenschaft – all dies und vieles mehr wird zunehmend gefordert. Lässt sich das eine vermeiden und das andere stärken? „Spitzenleistung durch Leadership“ hat alle Aspekte der Führung im Fokus und beschreibt eine Führungsphilosophie, die den Menschen, das Team und die Organisation in den Vordergrund rückt. Die Autoren stellen das Thema Leadership als ganzheitlichen Ansatz dar und identifizieren vier Felder, in denen Leadership wirksam wird: Führungskräfte, Mitarbeiter, Prozesse sowie Markt und Kunden. Anhand vieler praktischer Beispiele wird deutlich, wie es gelingt, Unternehmenserfolg und Menschenentwicklung gleichermaßen in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen und Wertsteigerung durch Wertschätzung zu erreichen. Ein Grundlagenwerk und Arbeitsbuch für Führungskräfte aller Branchen und Hierarchie-Ebenen, die Leadership-Qualitäten aufbauen wollen – mit zahlreichen Umsetzungstipps.
Can We Cope with the Complexity of Reality? Why Craving Easy Answers Is at the Root of our Problems
Education for a viable future has never been more important than in our era of climate change, fake news, self-illusions, and political upheaval. Whether humanity will have a dignified future hangs in the balance. The urgency of finding sound solutions to a number of complex problems is obvious. We can’t really allow ourselves to get it wrong, but the temptation to fall for easy, convenient answers is considerable. This book focuses on emerging insights from various fields which allow us to collectively build evidence-based and wise solutions. This requires us to clarify how to arrive at a sound understanding of reality, which belief-systems and ideologies impede this understanding, and which issues need to be addressed as a matter of urgency. We cannot solve the climate crisis or any other pressing problems besetting humanity by using mental models which are demonstrably flawed. We ignore important findings and insights in fields unfamiliar to us at our peril. Whatever our professional field, we need to self-critically reflect on the conclusions presented in this book in order to increase the quality and efficacy of our educational interventions for a better world.
