Gefangen am runden Tisch

The classic reissued!

Those who tackle conflicts and difficult situations and resolve them through the power of dialogue can unlock their own potential and that of their employees. This helps prevent the company, the team, or the individual from being shattered by simmering conflicts or becoming permanently paralyzed by a sense of hopelessness that often exists only in our minds.

George Kohlrieser, who draws on his vast knowledge not only from his work as a clinical and organizational psychologist but also from his successes as a negotiator in hostage situations, guides the reader step by step on how to remain in control. Using real hostage situations, the author describes the key factors that empower the reader to eliminate mental blocks that repeatedly turn us into captives.

Leaders will learn what they need to do to achieve a trusting collaboration and a positive, engaged attitude within the team:

• Address the situation clearly.
• Build genuine relationships – even with the "enemy."
• Never think like a hostage.
• Utilize the power of dialogue and negotiation.
• Be a reliable foundation and thereby build trust.
• Understand that a person is never the problem.
• Focus your mind on success.
