Coaching im internationalen Kontext – Erfahrungen und Einblicke
Ich arbeite immer mehr als Coach mit international tätigen Führungskräften. Mich hat bisher frustriert, dass die Welt des Coaching und die Welt international tätiger Führungskräfte kein relevantes Modell oder Konzept verbindet. Die zahlreichen Angebote kulturspezifischer oder interkultureller Coachings greifen in der Regel zu kurz, wenn es etwa um die Betrachtung unterschiedlicher Führungsverständnisse im internationalen Kontext geht. Auch die Forschungswelt bietet nur wenig Hilfestellung, um das Thema umfassend zu durchdringen.
Deshalb habe ich meine Praxiserfahrung und meine Lessons Learned in einem Artikel. Erschienen in Ausgabe 2/2009 des Coaching-Magazins. hier pdf download
Hier eine Lesermeinung:
„Glückwunsch, Ihr Beitrag „Coaching im internationalen Kontext“ war für mich einer der interessantesten seit langem – sehr ansprechend, konkret und theoretisch relevant aufbereitet, selten in der Qualität vorzufinden.

I can help you make your own decision based on your criteria and observation and reflect with you consequences for the business and for the organization.”
During our conversation, we found out the following main issues:
• Martin was not happy with the performance of the CFO nor was the top team. The CFO did not follow up on decisions made by the board if he did not agree personally, he would say yes and then act differently upon his convictions.
• We also found out that the CFO who was part of the organization since 25 years was hoping to become CEO himself, he never accepted Martin – an outside newcomer – as a boss. And the two were too different in their styles. Martin was suffering because of this lack of acceptance.
• The CFO had a lot of fans and high acceptance within the organization, Martin was afraid if he would fire him, that he will have an “internal rebellion” perhaps even sabotage and the organization was in a difficult turn around situation. Read the rest of this entry »
