“Shall We Dance?”
“It takes two to tango” in an expression suggesting that certain activities cannot be performed alone; they need two people who are willing to participate in order for something to happen. The New Normal might offer several challenges when it comes to handling uncertainty and change within an organization. Many people are working from home, meetings are held online, managers have to lead their subordinates from a distance through the change and try to help them find ways to create work-life balance, among other things. This is when coaching can be a useful tool to build resilience, encourage employees to learn new skills, improve communication, but most importantly build a strong and healthy organizational culture.
Are you a business owner, a manager, someone working with human capital, or are you a student, or maybe just have a general interest in leadership, organizational behavior, or coaching? In that case, this book is definitely for you. The book will offer you a framework regarding change, organizational culture, and coaching. The book will also give you some important insight related to diversity, for example situations when the analogy of an orchestra playing a tango together might come in handy, as well as aspects of sustainability. Each part of the book ends with questions for the reader to reflect on. The purpose is to enhance your own learning and personal growth.
My goal is for you to find your own way to lead your colleagues and subordinates. I want to provide methods to make it easier for you to contribute and navigate a coaching culture in these trying times we call “The New Normal”. A way of making the stakeholders of your organization feel you have rolled out the red carpet just for them. When you take the lead, the stakeholders will be asking you -"Shall we dance?"
