Three Deep Truths
The title may sound misleading, because it is not about absolute truths, but the levels of the search for truth. We go through our whole brain. And everything is connected, but everything is also true in itself. They can only be different perspectives. And our lives are easier and better when we can see all…

Warum niemand erwachsen ist
Habt ihr schon mal einen Menschen erlebt, der emotional älter als 5 Jahre ist? Wow, Glückwunsch. Das ist selten. Traurig ist es vor allem, wenn man in die Führungstagen schaut. Da sitzen die netten Herren (überwiegend) in ihren Anzügen und eigentlich sind es alles 2-6 jährige Jungs. Wenn man hinschaut, kann man es sehen. Gerade…

Die drei tiefen Wahrheiten
(The same blog entry in English.) Der Titel mag irreführend klingen, denn es geht nicht um absolute Wahrheiten, sondern die Ebnen der Wahrheitssuche. Wir gehen durch unser ganzes Gehirn. Und alles hängt zusammen, aber alles ist auch für sich wahr. Es können nur unterschiedliche Perspektiven sein. Und unser Leben ist leichter und besser, wenn wir…

The Hidden Deficit: Why (Almost) All of Us Are Emotional Vampires
Why You Might Be More “Toxic” Than You Think Let’s start with a hard truth—one that most of us instinctively deny: If you’re operating from a deficit, you are draining others—no matter how kind, smart, or well-intentioned you are.

Alle suchen Leadership – entweder Richtung geben oder Richtung gezeigt bekommen – aber im echten Leben ist sie faktisch nicht zu finden. Boss oder Babysitter? Auch in der Literatur pendelt man zwischen den Rollen als Boss oder als Babysitter. Sagen wo es…

Hierarchy Is Not Natural – Part 3
—
by
After Part 2 and Part 1, we take a deeper look at our fears … the reason for our obsession with control. Protection Is Fear In our quest for safety, we often turn to protection. But protection, driven by fear, cannot truly create safety. This concept is rooted in Marston’s theories: when we try to…

Hierarchy Is Not Natural – Part 2
Part 1 we finished with a quote, and we want to start Part 2 with it. Because what would that shift in perspective mean for an organization or even a society? What would happen, if we forsake the notion of hierarchy and stick to complexity? “trust is the only – known to me – tool…

Hierarchy Is Not Natural – Part 1
This is not new. Actually, it’s not even worthwhile to mention because it’s so obvious. Only simple, mechanical systems created by humans have a hierarchy. All natural systems are complex. Complexity can’t have a hierarchy because everything is connected to everything else. We have multidimensional superposition and dependencies. That’s what complexity is—many very simple elements…

Navigating Beyond Toxic Charity: Guiding Organizations to True Independence
In the exhilarating journey of birthing an organization, founders often find themselves at the heart of every decision, every strategy, and every success. Initially, this intense involvement is not just beneficial but essential. However, as the organization grows, the umbilical cord of dependency needs cutting for it to thrive independently. Yet, all too often, founders…
