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 organisations, 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 marginalised, 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. 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.
