Pressestimmen
"Kahane has written a brave and powerful book. He argues convincingly that winning solutions are found by listening, not by telling. Leadership is important, but the best leaders are good listeners. I have worked with him and he is right. Simply put: it works!" - Len Lindegren, former Global Strategy Leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers "There are no magical solutions here. This is not another "how-to" book. Instead, Kahane provides us with the very personal story of how he grew from a young expert convinced of the need to provide the "correct" answers, to an effective facilitator of positive change - by learning how to create environments that enable new ideas and creative solutions to emerge. This book explores the connection between individual learning and institutional change, and how leaders can move beyond politeness and formal statements, beyond routine debate and the defense of their positions, towards deeper and more generative dialogue. It should be read by anyone who is concerned with the quality of decision-making in today's democracies." - Elena Martinez, Assistant Secretary General, United Nations"
Kurzbeschreibung
In this book, Kahane draws on his amazingly rich experience working with corporate, government and civil society leaders all over the world to explain why our ordinary way of solving problems - expert-driven, piecemeal, and best practice - cannot work for solving the complex problems we face. These problems include our communities and organizations, and why we need to learn an extra-ordinary way that is inclusive, systemic, and generative, and that demands of us, in essence, extraordinarily open talking and extraordinarily open listening.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a very unusual business strategy book on an esoteric topic: solving complex problems with scenario planning and analysis. Author Adam Kahane also discusses how change occurs in complicated social systems. Kahane, a conflict resolution consultant, shares a pivotal skill he learned at his former jobs with Royal Dutch/Shell and Pacific Gas & Electric. He learned how to address tangled problems with scenario analysis. He tried and, as his case histories testify, did not often succeed - to solve daunting problems in intractably troubled places, such as Paraguay, Colombia, South Africa and the Middle East. He admits his approach does not always work, though he has rare successes and frequent insights. Some of his strategy's separate steps, such as scenario planning and story telling, seem to function well on their own, but he has a tendency to de-link theory and practice. We recommend this unusual, instructive book to conflict managers, strategic planning executives and citizens who want to learn why profound national change must start at the individual level.

Kann ich nur empfehlen. Läßt sich schön lesen. Man darf jedoch keinen Ratgeber erwarten, der genau beschreibt wie Adam Kahane die Probleme gelöst hat sondern es werden max. Ansätze dargestellt. Ist aber trotzdem gut und regt ein wenig zum Nachdenken an.

A must read
4. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Adam is an amazing storyteller, inviting the reader into his personal and very human journey; seeking to address a range of complex and difficult conflicts. Adam's profound learning about fostering deep transformation in groups and the power of diversity, is illuminated by his fascinating work in the corporate world, the Shell Scenario Planning process and attempts to resolve deep conflict in cross-border conversations in Columbia, Guatamala, Argentina etc.
The book gives an insiders view on the Mont Fleur Scenario planning process, which brought together Apartheid leaders and leaders of the ANC and other key players in the struggle in the same room. The thinking they did together and the scenarios they developed, influenced the peaceful transition out of apartheid in South Africa.
This book is a must read for anyone interested in systemic change and the power of conversation. I was left with the profound and simple realization that it starts with me, and my ability to be truly present to others. It also strengthened my faith in our collective ability as human beings to find new ways of being together as we face tremendous complexity in all of our communities.

Humility and learning
31. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I found this book very valuable and refreshingly simple and clear. To write simply is a quality which I personally hold in great esteem, and simplicity tends to lead to greater profundity. I was very moved by the way Adam Kahane showed the development of his work through various practical scenarios in different countries. I was struck by the scale of what he has helped to bring about and achieve, and I was also struck just as much by his ruthless honesty and humility about the whole journey and what he has/and is learning as he develops over the years. He chronicles a real evolutionary path of greater and ever deeper humanity. I feel that so much depends on the depth of authenticity and humanity of the facilitator. I am very impressed and inspired by the work Adam is doing in the world, and especially by the scale of his projects in Generon.
I was especially interested in the book where he talks about finding an agreement that goes beyond compromise - which goes beyond agreeing on ideas - and is about deeply agreeing on purpose.
I very much enjoyed having the opportunity of reading this gem of a book. One mark of its enduring value, is that it has really made me think and question more and more about what works and why.
