Because we are often unknowingly guided by assumptions and biases, or too influenced by a culture when deciding how to lead, we can limit our capabilities as if blindfolded. We are often unaware of our conditioning, but with a little insight, choices open up for us so we can drop the shackles that bind us to our one way thinking, emotions and behaviors. The clarity that comes from awareness allows us to operate with a purpose and authenticity that operates like a bright light, guiding us and our people through the fog of challenge and change.

How can your organization increase its agility, alignment, and accountability to improve performance?

It all sounds great - until the company overextends itself and collapses like a badly trained racehorse in the home stretch.

Die Einstellung bewirkt unser Urteil, wie wir über eine Sache denken, ob wir uns für oder gegen etwas entscheiden- oder uns gar nicht entscheiden können. Motive sind dafür verantwortlich, diese Entscheidungen treffen zu können. Wenn wir in der Situation sind, in der wir eine Entscheidung brauchen - von einem Kunden, von einem Mitarbeiter oder auch von Ihrem Chef - dann müssen wir argumentieren.
