The central theme of the newsletter in 2007 is change.
In this second newsletter of the year this theme is illuminated in three ways: first,
in the interview with Britta Kroker, who, from being programme head at the Campus
Publishing House became an on-line book dealer, then there is the progression from specialist to manager,
which is of relevance with regard to coaching instruments and, finally, as far as post heroic management
is concerned the primary issue is the renunciation of every kind of appraisal.
The topics in detail:
-
People: interview with Britta Kroker, the founder of managementbuch.de.
A new generation on-line book dealer – what does that mean?
- From specialist to manager.
Coaching instruments
- Post-heroic managers and change management.
Dedication, communication and the renunciation of appraisals,
-
Britta Kroker was head of the Campus Publishing House programme and, during the course of the
last few years she oversaw the company’s transformation from a specialist to a renowned popular
publishing house. She has now changed sides and founded the on-line book store managementbuch.de.
Peruse the interview to discover what motivated her and what chances of success she perceives.
However, just how forcefully her switch to self employment released positive energies also becomes manifestly
apparent.
-
If, as their next step on the career ladder, a successful high performer is offered management
responsibility it is an illusion to believe that this step can be mastered without difficulty.
For many specialists this is more akin to a rude awakening than elegant continuation along the
path upon which they have embarked. What is it like in reality and what needs to be done?
This issue is addressed by the coaching instruments.
-
Dedication and management? That might sound a little odd to you. The renunciation of appraisals?
This does not necessarily sound much like management either. But it is: the post heroic change management
article explains exactly what is meant and how it is possible to establish distance other than through
appraisals.
