Peter Block Bücher

Peter Blocks Consulting-Klassiker, in den USA hunderttausendfach bewährt, hält sich nicht mit Theorien auf, sondern zeigt Beratern, worauf es vor Ort ankommt. Seine praktischen Vorschläge erstrecken sich auf alle Bereiche des täglichen Consultant-Lebens. Angefangen damit, wie man einen lukrativen Beratungsvertrag abschließt, bis hin zu der Frage: Wie kann ein Berater Einfluß auf die Geschicke des Unternehmens ausüben, obwohl er keine direkte Kontrolle auf die Umsetzung seiner Vorschläge hat? Erfolgreiches Consulting setzt sich in nachhaltiger Weise mit den spezifischen Verhaltensformen der Beratungstätigkeit auseinander. Ganz konkret erfährt der Berater, was er in bestimmten Situationen zu tun und was er zu lassen hat. Zahlreiche Beispiele erläutern, wie die verschiedenen Beratungsmodelle so in die Praxis umzusetzen sind, daß immer eine erfolgreiche Performance gewährleistet ist. Darüber hinaus erklärt Peter Block den positiven Umgang mit den Widerständen, denen jeder Berater zwangsläufig begegnet. Checklisten zur Meetingvorbereitung, Feedbacksteuerung und Beurteilung von Verhandlungsergebnissen runden diesen überaus hilfreichen Leitfaden ab.

Modern society is plagued by fragmentation. The various sectors of our communities--businesses, schools, social service organizations, churches, government--do not work together. They exist in their own worlds. As do so many individual citizens, who long for connection but end up marginalized, their gifts overlooked, their potential contributions lost. This disconnection and detachment makes it hard if not impossible to envision a common future and work towards it together. We know what healthy communities look like--there are many success stories out there, and they've been described in detail. What Block provides in this inspiring new book is an exploration of the exact way community can emerge from fragmentation: How is community built? How does the transformation occur? What fundamental shifts are involved? He explores a way of thinking about our places that creates an opening for authentic communities to exist and details what each of us can do to make that happen.

Describes pressures that discourage initiative, dull creativity and dissuade risk-taking, and presents ideas on how to create plans that motivate people in organizations to give their best.

Block's widely awaited new book shows how the spirit of partnership and service can be made part of every business, government agency, and nonprofit institution. The author of The Empowered Manager unveils radical new models of stewardship for organizations and individuals within organizations.

"Abolishing Performance Appraisals" critiques the traditional appraisal system, highlighting its flaws and negative impacts. The authors advocate for eliminating appraisals in favor of progressive strategies for coaching, feedback, and development. The book provides practical guidance, resources, and real-life examples for organizations seeking healthier alternatives.

A movement is emerging where individuals seek fulfillment beyond traditional institutions, recognizing that true satisfaction comes from community engagement. This book emphasizes the potential of neighborhoods to nurture and support their members, challenging the notion that a good life is bought rather than built. It advocates for collective action among neighbors to create a "beloved community," highlighting our capacity to shape a hopeful future together. The narrative inspires readers to embrace their roles as architects of their own lives and communities.
