Der Wau-Effekt: Mit tierischer Unterstützung zu mehr innerer Stärke und Gelassenheit
by Michaela KnabeWas machen die Menschen anders, die trotz Misserfolgen, Krisen und stürmischer Phasen den Kopf nicht in den Sand stecken? Die ihre täglichen Herausforderungen souverän und gelassen meistern, sich schnell von Rückschlägen erholen und sogar gestärkt daraus hervorgehen? Sie verfügen über die sogenannte Resilienz, die psychische Widerstandskraft. Diese innere Stärke sorgt dafür, dass Menschen trotz hoher Anforderungen leistungsstark und handlungsfähig bleiben - auch in stürmischen Zeiten. Das Buch von Michaela Knabe erläutert, wie die Arbeit mit dem "Co-Trainer" Hund dazu beitragen kann, diese innere Stärke zu entwickeln. Hunde sind von Natur aus resilient und daher die perfekten Lehrmeister für persönliches Wachstum. Am Beispiel von 10 Faktoren wird jeweils aus menschlicher und Hund-Perspektive beschrieben, welche Bedeutung diese Kompetenzen für die persönliche Resilienz haben. Lassen Sie sich mitreißen vom "Wau-Effekt" des Buches und lernen Sie von unserem Partner mit der kalten Schnauze.

Schluss mit Bullsh*t-Innovationen: So machen Sie echte Innovation zum Teil Ihrer Unternehmens-DNA
by Bianca PrommerIn vielen Unternehmen wird heute Bullshit-Bingo gespielt. Die Geschäftsführung ordnet Innovation an, weil "man" das ja so macht. Leider bleibt es dabei meist bei oberflächlichen und oft falsch aufgebauten Innovationsaktivitäten. Innovation quasi als Alibihaltung. In der Unternehmenshierarchie angeordnet von "oben nach unten". Das kann nicht funktionieren. Denn nur das, was Mitarbeiter selbst mitgestalten, wofür sie selber brennen, kann zum integralen Teil der Unternehmens-DNA werden. Innovation sollte daher in Unternehmen auf allen Ebenen in "Fleisch und Blut" übergehen. Nur dann kann echte Innovation stattfinden. In ihrem Buch fordert Bianca Prommer dazu auf, innovatives Denken in den Unternehmen zur automatisch ablaufenden Kompetenz zu machen, denn schließlich denken wir auch nicht übers Atmen nach. Sie zeigt auf, wie der Weg zu einer jeweils auf das individuelle Unternehmen angepassten Innovationsstrategie funktioniert, wenn Unternehmen den im Buch erläuterten Schritten folgen. Die Autorin legt dar, warum es nichts bringt, innovative Blaupausenkonzepte von anderen Unternehmen zu übernehmen und erklärt, welche Innovationsmodelle im unternehmerischen Alltag, im dringlichen und harten Tagesgeschäft tatsächlich funktionieren. Umgesetzt wird das Thema anhand der - immer wieder von Fakten und praxisnahem Wissens-Input unterstützten, sich durch das Buch ziehenden - Geschichte der fiktiven Frisch & Schnell GmbH, einem produzierenden Traditionsunternehmen mit 250 Mitarbeitern. Strategisch in jedem Kapitel platzierte Reflexionsfragen, fordern den Leser innerhalb der Lektüre immer wieder auf, den eigenen Gedanken- und Handlungsstand zum Thema Innovation auf den Prüfstand zu stellen und intensiv zu hinterfragen. Die "Anti-Bullshit-Fakten" am Ende jeden Kapitels dienen der fachlichen Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Erkenntnisse zur Umsetzung in der Praxis.

Mach endlich deinen Job!: So tun Sie die richtigen Dinge und erreichen mehr Umsatz und Erfolg
by Holger SteitzWir könnten alle insgesamt viel produktiver sein und viel mehr erreichen als heute - beruflich und privat. Diese gewagte und provozierende These von Holger Steitz ist eine der Kernaussagen in diesem Buch. Eine derartige Aussage provoziert natürlich, aber der Autor beweist, dass sowohl im Vertrieb als auch in vielen Fachabteilungen und besonders auch in den Chefetagen der Unternehmen unendlich viel Zeit verschwendet wird. Verschwendet mit Tätigkeiten, die zum Teil einfach nur deshalb gemacht werden, weil man sie schon immer gemacht hat und niemand gesagt hat, dass diese inzwischen überflüssig sind. Verschwendet aber auch mit Alibi-Tätigkeiten, die man nur erledigt, um sich vor unangenehmen Aufgaben zu drücken. Überall wird operative Hektik verbreitet, die suggerieren soll, dass alle stets mehr als einhundertzwanzig Prozent ausgelastet sind, verbunden mit einem lauten Wehklagen ob der vielen Arbeit, die man so den lieben langen Tag erledigt. Schaut man genau hin, dann stellt man fest, dass tatsächlich niemand wirklich sichtbar Däumchen dreht. Man erkennt aber sehr schnell, dass sich ein großer Teil der Mitarbeiter und Führungskräfte mit Dingen beschäftigen, die nur sehr wenig mit der eigentlichen Zielerreichung zu tun haben. Teilweise bewusst und teilweise unbewusst. In diesem Buch beschreibt Holger Steitz, welche Auswüchse diese Art zu arbeiten für den einzelnen Mitarbeiter und die Unternehmen hat und was die fehlende Zielorientierung unterm Strich kostet. Dabei spart er nicht mit zum Teil skurrilen Anekdoten und Geschichten aus seinem Beratungs- und Trainingsalltag, über die man mal schmunzelt und bei denen man häufig auch nur mit dem Kopf schütteln kann. Im zweiten Teil des Buches gibt er - wie auch in seinen Beratungs- und Coachingprojekten - konkrete Tipps zur Veränderung der Arbeitsweise, zur Vereinfachung von Prozessen und zur Nutzung von Methoden und Tools für mehr zielgerichtete und produktivere Arbeit. Alle Tipps und Methoden sind praxiserprobt und die mitgelieferten Checklisten und Arbeitshilfen helfen bei der direkten Umsetzung.
