This is a nice dealing with change in the workplace type graphic, but it’s missing the bit where the employee gives up, succumbs to the will of the organization and their soul leaves their body… #Work #ChangeManagement

𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆!
After 30 years of advising leaders through seismic shifts, I've learned this: The future doesn't knock. It kicks down the door.
I've watched organizations crumble while others explode into new possibilities. The difference? They moved first.
Since 2004, I've written multiple books that cover what leaders need to know. Many have focused around the core issue of today - speed, agility, change and flexibility. Each book is a powerful map to how you can accelerate yourself into tomorrow.
Here they are:
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓 → Speed isn't just an advantage anymore. It's survival. But raw speed without direction is chaos.
𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘, 𝐒𝐄𝐓, 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄. → This is your execution playbook. When "faster is the new fast," you need systems that turn ideas into reality before your competition even starts planning.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒 → Stop looking at the wrong threats. This book exposes the "aggressive indecision" that's killing leaders right now—while the real disruption creeps up unseen.
𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐁𝐈𝐆, 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋, 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓! → Your blueprint for turning impossible dreams into inevitable reality. No more analysis paralysis. No more "someday" strategies.
𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓? → For those crossroads moments when everything you knew gets flipped upside down. Optimism isn't just nice to have—it's the fuel that powers reinvention.
This isn't theory. This is your survival kit.
The leaders who thrive in the next decade won't be the ones with the best plans.
They'll be the ones who moved while others hesitated.

What it feels like to be a smaller and weaker power confronted with larger.
Evarist Bartolo, Malta's former Minister of European and Foreign Affairs, urges a shift toward a model where states “listen before they speak,” and where foreign policy is shaped by mutual respect, not bloc loyalty: https://pascallottaz.substack.com/p/the-eus-pretence-of-equality

"Many people in IT […] are bearers of ‘bad news’, they try to convince people of different paradigms, which are not yet welcome as the expectations are still based on poor ideas about what is assumed to work. Making their life worse is a constant stream of bad Enterprise/IT Architects–Strategists that — generally as consultants — bring welcome (but faulty) good news to the top."

Cognitive dissonance
Until February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament.
"In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."

As an engineer AND ESPECIALLY AS A MANAGER, I've encountered this so often.
Be wary. There's often **political** reasons for entrenched patterns like this, particularly when they are dysfunctional. You are likely to piss if someone who has motivated self-interest in keeping things this way.
Attempting to modify these sorts of behaviors risks activating an organizations immune system.
Ask me how I know...

I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts on leading change.

Turns out change management initiatives aren't successful if the executives don't communicate them well to those in charge of implementing the change. Who knew?
Eine Coronameldung aus dem engeren Kreis der Teilnehmenden gab es schon. Mal sehen, ob es auch mich noch erwischt. #MPA #MPA2022 #Organisationsentwicklung #ChangeManagement #Präsenzveranstaltung #Bochum #RuhrUniversität
Ein Bahnstreik nicht vor, nicht am Ende, sondern mitten in der Präsenzphase \o/ Dann komme ich wohl doch nach Hause am Samstag. Glückes Geschick. #MPA #MPA2022 #Organisationsentwicklung #ChangeManagement #RuhrUniversität
Der #ICE1021 und ich komme wohl auch heute nicht zusammen. Er ist zwar noch ohne Verspätungsanzeige, aber laut App wurde die Zugbindung aufgehoben. Wird es halt wieder der #ICE615... #MPA #MPA2022 #Organisationsentwicklung #ChangeManagement #Bochum

I find Appreciative Inquiry a motivating approach, and thought I'd take to it easily. Turns out focusing on the positive rather than “the problem” for ten minutes or roleplay was harder than I expected! Problem-solving off, listening on- that is going to take some practice.
Already looking forward to the next edition, in another forest-y environment so I'll take my camera again :)

“That which you give attention, grows”
Another inspiring two days with the Centre for Academic Teaching in the Educational Leadership program; this quote stayed with me the most. We spent time examining Appreciative Inquiry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appreciative_inquiry) and how focusing on what is going *right* can help approach change management from a positive perspective.

I'm sitting on a bus that The Bee Network tells me isn't running.
I hate rebranding and makeover in lieu of service retention and improvement.
"Furthermore, universities are also the natural habitat of the CAVE - more fully known as Colleagues Against Virtually Everything". 
My current space is a great place, but in 20-ish years of academia I've absolutely encountered enough CAVEs to be a fully-qualified spelonker.
