For ages, philosophers, self-help gurus, religious teachers, and artists have been discussing the power of affirmations. René Descartes said, “I think, therefore I Am”. Moses in answering the Pharaoh’s question as to who sent him said, “I Am”. Even the rap artist Eminem said, “I Am whatever you say I Am, if I wasn’t why would I say I Am.” The question then looms, if positive affirmations work so well, then why isn’t everyone using them to excel in their lives? The simple answer is, that they don’t feel like their affirmations work.

Führung entsteht im Moment eines Satzes. In der Klarheit, die bleibt, wenn alles andere unscharf wird. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Worte Orientierung schaffen – leise, präzise, wirksam.

Über Formulierungen, die Unsicherheit benennen, ohne sie zu vergrößern. „Führung ist Sprache“ erklärt die psychologische Mechanik dieser Momente: Warum präzise Worte Halt erzeugen. Wie Unklarheit Konflikte nährt.

And this book deals with the differences, perspectives, priorities, human nature and cultures that are as variable as the cells in the human body. Many leaders, and prospective leaders, confuse personality with the job and think of their team as underlings to be dominated. This book differentiates between 'command culture' and 'service culture', 'inclusiveness and exclusiveness', ego, and the spirit.

Nada é mais inspirador do que uma grande visão que se torna uma nova e triunfante realidade. Pense em como o Empire State Building passou de um esboço a uma joia no horizonte de Nova York em 21 meses, ou como o iPod da Apple passou de um projeto com um único funcionário a um lançamento de produto em onze meses. São histórias maravilhosas. Mas na maioria das vezes as grandes visões se transformam em pesadelos. Quase todas as grandes cidades do mundo têm um fiasco do tipo no seu quintal.

Je stressiger es zwischen uns Menschen zugeht, desto deutlicher werden die Grundmechanismen unseres täglichen Verhaltens am Arbeitsplatz: Es geht u.a. um Kooperationsbereitschaft unter Kollegen, um das Streben nach Macht, um Führungsverhalten - aber auch um einen Flirt im Büro oder das Vermeiden von offenen Konflikten. Gregor Fauma analysiert, wie Menschen evolutionär ticken, was uns antreibt und was uns manchmal auch hindert, im Büroalltag kluge Entscheidungen zu treffen.
