I have such dependent employees!
Why don't they do what I say?
What managers complain about, they unconsciously trigger. That's a difficult realisation (now you're supposed to be to blame for the misery?) but also a helpful one: Because what you help to trigger can be changed. The key to change is to take responsibility for the current situation.
Creating new realities is anything but easy. But it is possible through purposeful action.
The Atelier für Sonderaufgaben in St. Gallen has developed a formula that describes how this works:
NR = New Reality
Fr = Question
Fa = fantasy (which fascinates)
UÜH = Unusual action
New reality needs a breaking action. But not just any old one: questions and imagination provide direction and quality.
