Coaching / Sparring as Regular Reflection

What should be a consistent routine for managers and decision-makers?

Dr. Wolfgang Looss, author of „Unter vier Augen“, aptly describes sparring as a

“reflection partnership for people without an acute problem.”

In other words: Sparring is occasion-free—and that’s exactly what makes it so valuable.

In a world that is becoming increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA), clear distinctions between right and wrong are fading.
Decisions no longer follow straightforward cause-and-effect logic. Instead, they emerge amid conflicting demands and chaotic developments. That’s why there are countless reasons to pause, reflect, and seek guidance on a daily basis.

The right impulse from a sparring partner can often provide more clarity than lengthy and resource-heavy solo problem-solving—
not because you’re incapable of finding the answer yourself, but because dialog helps you get there faster, more precisely, and more effectively.

Company analysis by the Orientation Day

The Day of Orientation,

a stocktaking with all employees, offers your company a quick, effective and motivational company analysis and creates a good basis for your individual organisational development.

Take the right steps towards the future of your company and shed light on the status quo and approaches for improvements and changes in a solution-oriented dialogue and from different perspectives. Talk to each other instead of about each other and learn about sensitivities, needs, worries, fears and inhibiting factors as well as approaches for development from the perspective of all those involved.

Unspoken issues come to the surface and thus become „understandable“. You get a quick and effective analysis of the current situation and at the same time strengthen the spirit of optimism for future joint action!
Together you will work out concrete practical measures for what needs to be done and how it could work. This creates motivation and honest identification with the common cause.

Transition – Orientation in Change

In a VUCA and BANI world, markets, technologies and social conditions are changing faster than traditional planning and control models can keep up. Organisations must therefore continuously adapt their strategies, structures and culture – an ongoing transition process.

In times of profound upheaval, managers need more than experience: they need a well-stocked toolbox for change. Above all, this includes a clear understanding of the dynamic conditions under which change takes place today. What works today may be obsolete tomorrow.

As Paul Watzlawick knew:

“If you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.”

Transition means more than mere change: it is the conscious, often multi-stage transition from one state to another – accompanied by learning processes, emotional adjustment and letting go of familiar patterns. Successful transition requires orientation through vision, values and priorities – and at the same time the flexibility to respond to new developments.
Leadership in a VUCA world means balancing areas of tension: creating stability where there is uncertainty and promoting openness where innovation is needed. The key lies in systemic understanding and an adaptive attitude: the courage to make decisions under uncertainty, competence in dealing with complexity and a culture that actively embraces continuous learning and collaboration.
