Meetings - das überfällige Praxishandbuch: Lösungen für erfolgreiche Besprechungen
by Bernd SteffensBernd Steffens bietet ein ganzheitliches und umfassendes Buch zum Thema Meetings. Ausgehend von der vorhandenen Führungs-Un-kultur in Unternehmen werden die Möglichkeiten der Entwicklung einer optimalen Besprechungskultur dargestellt, in der die Rahmenbedingungen einerseits und die Person des Moderators im Umgang mit Autorität, Emotionen, Konflikten und geeigneten Methoden zur kooperativen Entscheidungsfindung andererseits zentral sind. Denn das beste Handwerkszeug taugt nichts, wenn die Besprechungskultur nicht stimmt und die Haltung des Moderators ungeeignet ist. Themen sind weiterhin die Auseinandersetzung mit bekannten Meeting-Mythen, die richtige Planung und Entscheidungsprozesse. Meetings werden in dem Maße besser, wie Führungskräfte / Moderatoren diese nicht über autoritären Stil (Befehlsketten, Menschen als Maschine) führen, sondern als soziales Netzwerk ernst nehmen, in dem auch emotionale Belange moderiert und zur Auflösung geführt werden. Im Buch wird lösungsorientiert das Grundproblem angegangen, dass das Verhalten der Teilnehmer oft von Angst (vor Misserfolg, vor Autorität, vor Gesichtsverlust), Ärger (über Abteilungs- und Claimdenken, über eigene unberücksichtigte Bedürfnisse, über das Verhalten anderer) und Eitelkeiten (Beiträge dienen der Selbstdarstellung, Rechthaberei herrscht vor, mangelnde Vorbereitung wird maskiert) geprägt ist. Wird damit konstruktiv umgegangen, helfen auch die genauso wichtigen Handwerkszeuge, zum Beispiel zur Entscheidungsfindung, damit das Meeting zum gewünschten Erfolg führt.

Meetings in Mokassins: Führen mit Weisheit und Seelenreife
by Barbara WittmannWährungs- und Wirtschaftssysteme wackeln, althergebrachte Strukturen scheitern und selbst große, früher als „sicher“ geltende Unternehmen schließen oder entlassen scharenweise ihre Mitarbeiter. Wie geht es weiter? Wie meistern Manager die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit – personell und persönlich? Und welchen Beitrag muss jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter bringen, um gesund und leistungsstark zu sein und zum dauerhaften Erfolg seines Unternehmens beizutragen? In der archaischen Figur des Häuptlings und seines Stamms liegt eine Metapher, die moderne Führungskräfte und Mitarbeiter auf sich übertragen können: Was macht einen Häuptling aus? Welche Riten durchläuft er, um zur echten Führungskraft heranzureifen? Welche Werte lebt er, um in Krisen nachhaltig Frieden zu stiften? Und wie entsteht ein harmonischer, kraftvoller Stamm, in dem jedes Mitglied genügend Raum für seine persönliche Vision und Seelenreife hat? Darum geht es in diesem Buch.
Meetings sind Zeitverschwendung: Eine Expedition in die Welt der Business-Irrtümer
by Hans Jürgen HeineckeIrrtümer sind unterhaltsam, jedenfalls die anderer Leute. Viel mehr als nur amüsante Munition für Besserwisser bietet der Management-Coach und Querdenker Hans Jürgen Heinecke in seiner Sammlung der hartnäckigsten Business-Irrtümer. Scharfsinnig und voller Esprit hinterfragt er Glaubenssätze, die die Wirtschaftswelt prägen - oft mit fatalen Konsequenzen. Sind Meetings wirklich Zeitverschwendung, macht Teamarbeit alles leichter und sorgt nur ordentlich Druck für gute Ergebnisse? Heinecke lokalisiert die einzelnen Irrtümer auf einer Weltkarte: Er führt uns auf seiner Expedition durch den tropischen Kontinent Workaholica, über die Chefetagen-Wüste, das heilige Hochplateau der Karriere-Irrtümer und erreicht schließlich den Dschungel der Zusammenarbeit. Mit dieser vergnüglichen Reise-Metapher ermöglicht er dem Leser einen ganz neuen Blick auf vertraute Zustände und öffnet ihm die Augen für beliebte Denkfehler und die Wahrheit, die sich dahinter versteckt. Die kurzen, in sich abgeschlossenen Kapitel und der hohe Unterhaltungswert machen das Buch zu einem idealen Begleiter für Manager mit wenig Zeit. Eine spannende Kombination aus essayistischer Leichtigkeit und scharfsichtiger Analyse.
